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.phpSelect 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.

Thanks a lot, Rossi! Will be working on them shortly.BTW, what about the map application that comes with 08? because I'm stuck trying to figure out how to make any use of it... Any have the experience of downloading maps from the web and make it work MANNUALLy? because direct downloading and installing seems impossible!!! Thanks!Josh

I updated the maps once after purchasing the device as new version of the maps were available. Did not encounter any restriction on the no. of times I could do that. Also the documentation says that it is free for the 'usable' life of the device i.e. until the device can support the newer versions of the map either in the sense of its capability or storage space.

The garmin maps are no good. Pretty outdated and are not life time. You need to download the latest maps if updates are available.

Check out the available maps on the magellan web site. With this GPS, you have to purchase map updates for the map that comes with the GPS and other maps that are compatible. I believe the cost for an update is around $50.00 but I do not know what the cost of other maps may be. Again, check the magellan.com website.

My guess is that they will be behind by one version at least. I've never bought a GPS that didn't need an update after purchase. Easy to update via web access and generally free initially at least.

I would suggest that you contact Garmin technical support and ask that same question to be sure your unit will support it - I have an older model Garmin nuvi and the last update I downloaded required me to put a memory card in to hold the amount of data - it was cheap enough - but something to consider is whether your unit will support current and future map updates & downloads - if your unit will support this lifetime maps update, go for it - great deal

The map are loaded on this unit. The maps are from 2010. I would recommend getting the life time updates for 100.00 bucks that way you will be up to date with road in the US. P.Hansen

GPS has an on and Off in the setting menu. I assume in the off setting it doesn't provide GPS location and update the date/time

If you install the micro sd, will it overwrite the maps that are not on the sd card?

Hi, for the i2, you'll have to go into the "Settings"&gt;"System"&gt;"GPS Mode" and make sure that GPS mode is "OFF". Once the GPS mode is off, it will no longer give you instructions to turn, etc., but the map will continue to update to reflect where you are. You should be able to see the map change and update as you drive.

The maps are stored on an SD memory card so updating would either require updating or swapping out that card.

It's called Garmin express. It is the same program you use to update maps and software.

Yes, I believe so but it cost money to do so. There is a little memory card which the maps are loaded on and if you needed to you could purchase the updated maps from online.. Although I never had to because the maps is relatively up to date at least in my area

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
