Hi,
Don't know if this is old news, but I recently purchased map update software for life of unit. In other words, one fee of $190.00 and you can download maps as they are updated (usually every 3 months) at no extra charge, for the life of your unit- That's the same price as purchasing updates for 2 years.
This also means that any errors Garmin become aware of will be corrected, released and you can download the updated maps.
Log into My Garmin. Looks a great deal to me.

Cool...
1. These days your get new GPS with latest maps for free, as a gift when you buy new set of tyres,
2. You can already buy new GPS with new maps under $100.00,
3. In 2-3 years good brand new solar powered GPS with new maps and updates will cost under $50.00,
4. The map update service does not transfer to another unit.
It's OK if you want to keep your loved old unit with for many years. Do you...?

| Navman also offers 3 years of free maps for My Series GPS. I remember not beeing able to update my old Navman iCN 10 months after purchase (discontinued unit, maps and product support).

My Nuvi 260 keeps reminding me to update my maps recently.
I'm also inclined to buy a current model GPS at 170 bucks as opposed to spending 190 bucks just on an update.

Just to annoy every other GPS maker on this planet, Google provides Android GPS maps for free. GPS on Android phones is a cool experience.
You won't even have to pay for map updates again.

Three years is a long time in the world of GPS. It's better to buy a new GPS than to buy map updates for an old GPS unit.
It is probably more cost effective to buy a new GPS in a year or two to get brand new GPS device, warranty, latest software and maps.

I love my NUVI 260w. Its been awesome...
But with the newer units having lane choices, 3D, etc... having to pay for a lifetime of map updates or a newer unit, its a tough decision
