Latest Map Version for Nuvi 650? How do I find out which Map Version came with my unit?

To find out which map version you have: On the main screen, press the "wrench icon" &gt; then press "Map" &gt; then on the bottom, press "Map Info". There it should tell you what version you have. The latest map version is the "City Navigator North America NT 2008" and that's the version that should be installed on your unit.

No new maps yet. You've got Navteq 2008a maps. Software updates: http://esupport.sony.com/perl/select-system.pl?DIRECTOR=DRIVER&SR=nav:service_support:electronics:drivers_software:esup&ref=http%3A//www.sony.com/index.php Select your country and type in NV-U44 in "Option 1". If you need to update your software, follow the instructions, which also tell you to install the nav-u Tool software. The whole operation will take about an hour, because the update does a backup.

I just bought the Garmin 255 and found out it has no maps downloaded.I thought it would be ready to go out of the box.It was a re-furbished unit,but I was under the impression it had everything ready for business.Was I wrong in my assumption?silverado_03

This is SD card version, at least the one which I bought, As per Garmin The SD card version does not entitle for updates, I haven't received any so far.

You can order the maps or firmware upgrade from the seller you purchased from. I have these. Thanks.

I found that the 3rd party maps ordered at a greatly discounted price does not allow for updates of maps. I guess if it came with the maps preloaded you would get the lifetime updates (LM). I currently have the European maps and get the updates. Did you purchase the unit with LM designated behind model number?

I just updated from 1.3 to 1.5.0 for the firmware. Garmin has it's own separate version number.

Maps that are 3-4 years old are considered new. There is no support from Power Acoustik or navteq but i'm sure there are other units that share the same maps which you can upgrade. Since the maps are on a SD card i'm sure there's a way to update it, just not through Power Acoustik or Navteq.

As soon as you get the unit, take the cable (supplied) and plug it into a USB on your computer. Go to magellangps.com and poke around their support tab until you come across the firmware upgrade for whatever unit you want to buy. The current level on my 610 is 7.14. It's probably the same software for other devices in that class. Important: Once you start the firmware (flash) upgrade, don't disconnect for any reason or you'll "brick" your new Explorist and then you'll have to send it back to Magellan for repairs.

Garmin will continue to support map updates for the Nuvi 3xx & 6xx series. Their units are designed to use the same maps. In fact, Garmin just provided new firmware on their website for the 3xx and 6xx to get them ready for their new map encryption scheme. This is because hackers figured out how to hack their 2009 maps and put them on any Nuvi without paying for them. - Jim SHARCNET-USA http://www.sharc.net/gps_repair.htm

I also ordered from Amazon and received my Nuvi 370 yesterday (7/26/07). The unit that I received had the current maps of Europe (City Navigator Europe NT v9), but the older, outdated maps of North America (City Navigator North America NT v8). I called Garmin and they agreed to send me the newly-released North America maps (City Navigator North America NT 2008) free of charge.

We updated it at GARMINs website. It is relatively easy to do. I think we needed the serial number of the unit. It does take awhile - we left it update over night.

I do not know for sure. When I first got it it seemed to run fine with US and Canada base maps that came from factory. I updated those using the Garmin updater software tool. I put a 4gb micro SD card it it from my old unit but have never seen any indications that I really needed it. Try the Garmin website if you need more info. I am very happy with the thing. Bigger screen and faster, better menu system them my old unit.Good luck

Mine is a 650 but I think it has the same software as the 600 and it has streets loaded into it. For the official answer can Garmin at 800 800 1020 for free, they have good customer support at this number.

I think most stores will have the older version in stock. You might get the newer version by ordering it directly from Garmin (more expensive). I've been corresponding with Garmin, trying to get a commitment for a free upgrade if I buy it today. NO ANSWER YET!!You should hit them with the same exact request:techsupp@garmin.com
