How do I update the iGo GPS software? What is the company name I'm supposed to use?

U can't. I asked them the same question and they referred me to some website. I could not figure out which one to pick.

That, you have to check with Garmin support center ... But SD map has NO map update & it has NO junction view that displays upcoming junctions (only turn-by-turn instruction).

I believe you can download up to devices. Best bet is to go to Phantomalert.com and contact support. If its for a life time i'm sure it makes no difference if you purchase a new gps next year.

Not yet according to Garmin's website. Software updates are only available for Windows

What's up Frank! Hope you're doing well. I think you might have to update the maps. I am not a specialist, but I recently recieved a message on my GPS startup screen to update the map (have yet to do so). Last year when this issue happened, the map update helped fix address issue, temporarily. Gramin offers free up-to-date maps on their website. Overall it is a good GPS for finding LOCAL locations. I have found that once you'd been to the area with the GPS on, it records the satellite points for faster access in the future. Make sure you flip open the antennae (square flap) to connect. Accuracy is like 7.65900/10 and has internal issues like the one Frank talked about. The GPS itself (internal software) is 5/10. It's okay and has bugs when you are typing in the address. It only accepts a specific format for addresses (something like zip code, city, house #, street name). I would recommend it only if you are looking for something cheap and are somewhat are familiar with the compass rose and major landmarks in the city.

Garmin uses AT&T; which I have. The problem was a lost satellite signal or only 2 that could get a fix.

While mine is current, only a month old, there are two ways to upgrade maps and firmware... there is an sd card slot and a usb slot. I think the correct process for updating maps and firmware is to use the sd card slot though. Hope that helps.. I like the unit and the gps is pretty good.

you have to download Magellan's software to your computer, hook up the device with the supplied cable, but make sure your battery is fully charged. Then you can update firmware as well as update to the most up to date maps

For Windows:1. Go to http://www.magellangps.com/2. Click Support in the menu bar.3. In the Support menu on the left, click Map Upgrades.4. Choose the options you want from the menus on that page.You will probably have to register your GPS unit, create a Magellan account, and be logged in to be able to update your map.I do not know of any map updates for the Roadmate 5045.

As far as I know, the only way to update the maps is to buy the annual Garmin update on SD card (about $100) and replace the one in your DNX with the new one.

The update comes as a SD card. When I got to Sidney, I inserted the card and it immediately worked. I only wished driving on the opposite side of the road would have been that easy! I'm not sure what model Garmin I have, check on their website for compatibility.
