I never saw an option for an update. I couldn't get past a weird testing screen so I sent it back and got my refund.

No Maylong stopped all support,on 90% of their GPS units.You will not be able to update any maps at all.

By now, you have probably talked to Garmin. But in case you haven't, the answer is (or at least "should be") yes. Download Garmin's Webupdater and plug your unit into the computer. As well as the map update, you will also get any firmware updates that might have been released since you bought the unit.

Yes you can and yes it does. TomTom also has a Map Plan with which you can update maps, I believe, each quarter/year. Nice little unit. Perfect for the price.

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.

Yes and no. I received an email for the latest maps and they (all in one file for N. America) came on a CD for only $7 shipping. It is a strong update. You can also download maps of Europe, etc. right through the excellent TomTom Home software. It is simple to install the data onto one or more SD cards. You have to keep careful track of your serial number (it's not hard to find on the unit) to install updates, since they only work with your particular unit, as a way to prevent piracy. Customer service is very friendly and helpful, though if you have any problems.

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

I would recommend the support at the manufacturer/Vendor online. The software is pretty simple and I have not needed to update it therefore I don't have the knowledge to know how or where.Larry

Not quite clear on what you mean. Essentially the update is supposed to give you new info that wasn't included in the previous data, like new streets or some that were previously excluded. One problem I have found is, that when trying to update maps, the system does not allow it, and Garmin will NOT answer when queried about it. VERY disappointing and to my thinking fraudulent (as it prevents me from getting my money's worth.)

Yes to your question. However, I would not recommend the purchase. It has numerous problems and locks up and require rebutting and start it up again. Map updates are few and far between and currently, they have not updated the Content Manager (Program to down load Upgrades) to work with my current operating system on my computer. And do not know when they will have it corrected.

It takes a sd card that got the gps infomation...... u probably can go 2 the power acoustik web site and download the new maps

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, and so far no Map updates available.Get yourself a waterproof case for the Garmin, I stopped using this and put my Garmin in a case.

Hello, Excellent device, You can install maps and update the version after you receive the product. Great success in whatever you choose. JUD

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

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.
