You cant get free maps. You have to buy them following instructions from TomTom site.

Possibly they don't allow updates. But you can buy new Micro SD cards with new maps in India.

The radio comes with the SD card (microSD actually) with the map info installed. The map was a little dated (2012), and this radio does not come with free updates. I purchased a year of map updates for $69 - http://www.navizon.com/ if I remember correctly. The location for the map updates is on the NAV screen when it comes up each time. The NAV screen is a little slow the first time it is selected each day (~30 seconds) but after that it comes up immediately (switching between radio, bluetooth, NAV).

Yes, but be aware of certain models. You will have to pay high cost for map updates.Make sure you buy a model that offers free lifetime up dates.

I am shopping for my 1st GPS. TomTom 340TM is supposed to include free maps for the life of the device. How can they refuse to upgrade the maps on your refurb? slloyd1000@verizon.net

My unit, which I bought last summer after it was discontinued, came packaged with a unique code that enables me to get map updates. Once the software is set up with the code on your computer, the process is straightforward. I suppose it could make a difference if the seller is not an authorized seller, but probably not since the code was in the sealed box.

No you have to pay for map updates. The maps that come with it are pretty up-to-date, but not the most up-to-date. The unit gives you a website to go to for updates, and the process is pretty straightforward, but it does cost some money

Normal no, pay to update maps yearly if you want to. I have operated with mine for 5years and have only done 1 map upgrade. So free to operate except the one map upgrade.

I purchased a Garmin Nuvi in December of 2012 and there have been NO UPDATES to the "free" lifetime maps as of January 2015 .... ripoff!!!

None that I'm aware of. The map update data (map set with new/changed data) overwrites the existing maps.

Go to OpenStreetMaps.org and you can make your own maps free. The maps I bought were made using this software. You can make your own maps or buy them and save yourself lots of time.

yes, update only in software and other features such as voice. Not Road maps. To have Road maps update need to purchase online $80 or less on lifetime update.

Seems to depend on which app you are using. Try " MapFactor Navigator " free edition by TomTom loads to SD card, Map and App updates are free every month, works for me. Also can buy TomTom maps for any country.

I have lifetime FREE updates of software and maps. I'm very happy with the GPS. I just want to re-find that wonderful screen again.
