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.

If you have purchased the Nuvi with lifetime updates you will need to log into Garmin and connect your Nuvi to the site to update all maps which will have road changes it does not automatically update. You can purchase an HD live traffic & automatic updater from Garmin. The new Garmin line of GPS does offer it and updates automatically.

Unlike these other morons that have the unit wired wrong. (If the unit resets, you have it wired wrong!) Yes, you can update the GPS maps. It is done via a dedicated SDHC card.

It comes with copyrighted navigation maps which can be updated online at naviextras.com. It is free to update the latest version within 30 days from first time this unit receives gps signal.

there is no navigation built in, it would have to be what you've got in your iphone when it's hooked up

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.)

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.

Connect on to itune and it will automatically update it. Or go into Best Buy and pay a fee for them to update it for you.

Yes it don't have the nav buttons. My system navigation is built in so I can just click on it instead of pushing the button

I have the same issue so I emailed the seller asking him about the lifetime map updates that I couldn't find the website. He responded back with the unit already had the newest map installed and he would send me the link when a new update comes out.

Hello, No, you must have a working data connection to use Google Maps and Navigation. Best Regards, Mobile Tablet Shop

I'm sorry, I can't help you with this one. I purchased a new unit but can tell you that all of the user information and map updates are readily available on the Garmin internet site.

Yes, but only navigation up dates. Not really a big update. No sonar or community edits. If i had it to do over I would buy the Navionics +, you pick the area you need and it comes with full updates, sonar and community.
