Note:
A nüMaps Lifetime subscription entitles you to receive up to four (4) map data updates per year, when and as such updates are made available on Garmin’s website, for one (1) compatible Garmin product until your product’s useful life expires or Garmin no longer receives map data from its third party supplier, whichever is shorter. Your nüMaps Lifetime subscription may not be transferred to another person or another Garmin product. A nüMaps Onetime purchase entitles you to receive one (1) map data update for one (1) compatible Garmin product. The update(s) you receive under the nüMaps Lifetime subscription or nüMaps Onetime purchase (as applicable) will be update(s) to the same geographic map data originally included with your Garmin product when originally purchased. In some instances, your Garmin product might not have sufficient memory remaining for you to load an update to the same map data originally included with your Garmin product, in which case you will need to either (a) select reduced map data coverage for your update(s), or (b) purchase separately a microSD card or a SD card (as applicable to your Garmin product) and load all or a portion of the map data coverage for your update(s) to the card and insert the card into the SD card or microSD card slot contained in your Garmin product.

5 out of 5 stars It Can't Get Easier   May 21, 2009
Daniel G. Lebryk
552 out of 553 found this review helpful

This is well near a brilliant plan for owners of Garmin GPS's. Pay one time, get up to four updates to your core GPS map software per year, for the life of your device. I've actually paid more than the price of this subscription to update one of my GPS's. So this was a no brainer for me.

First step - go to the Garmin Website and verify that the exact model of GPS you own is listed. Don't assume your model is listed - go to the website and verify it is really listed first. The list is huge, long, major long. My Nuvi 765T and 670 were both listed as compatible.

Second Step - order this "gift card" from Amazon. This is by far the most incredible deal compared to a purchase chez Garmin. With a Prime account, no sales tax, no shipping, and you've got this lovely little credit card in around 2 days.

Third Step - Like most gift cards, you scrape off the product key cover on the back of the card.

Fourth Step - make sure you know your MyGarmin user name and password - if not create an account. If you've had a GPS for longer than 1 year, you should have an account.

Fifth Step - Plug your GPS into your computer with a USB cable. Go to the website listed on the back of the card and follow the instruction.

Now the automatic stuff happens. You log into your account, it validates the product key, and then starts the download process. First it checks your computer, then checks for your device, then checks for compatibility, and then launches a download manager. You will see a pop up and you'll have to give permissions like 10 times before the manager installs, and starts the download.

Don't be afraid of the download manager. It's simple and only works with Garmin's website. It won't trash your computer.

Now the part to be afraid of - my first update to my Nuvi 765T is 1.92Gb. So you darn well better have a very fast internet connection (my comcast connection did that download in around 20 minutes) or you'll need to start this up before you go to bed at night and just let it run.

Last step, once the download manager has downloaded the whole file (you can check a box that says "close when done" and "launch when done"), click on Launch on the download manager box. The file will extract to the destination folder you set up in the early steps of download. Once extracted, the update program will run. The prompts there are simple and straightforward. I'm not sure what the update speed depends on, but they warn you it can take up to 2 hours. Mine updated in around 10 minutes.

An important caveat that you cannot miss. This is for ONE GPS. ONLY ONE GPS. You cannot use this same code to update other Garmin GPS's. You have to purchase a second card to update more units.

The other downside at Amazon, the combo North American and Europe card is not available through Amazon at this writing. So you must go to the Garmin website for that download.

Honestly, if you buy two updates to your GPS, this card pays for itself. I really love the "no questions asked" quarterly updates to my GPS.

July 8, 2009 Update - type nuvi tips and tricks into your favorite search engine. The first hit is a resource on how to better use your Nuvi. It's a fantastic site with hundreds of tips.

December 13, 2009 update - that North American / European lifetime subscription is now available at Amazon, it is here: Garmin nüMaps Lifetime Map Update for North America & Europe [Online Map Code]. This one double requires my instructions above, becuase you purchase nothing physical at all. Amazon sends you the activation code, and no physical card. It doesn't get faster, but you have nothing to show for your money other than a code number.



5 out of 5 stars Great deal for new Garmin users   March 25, 2009

We have a 3 year old Garmin 350. We find the unit itself is very easy to use. Our problem is we used our fee update 18 months ago and it did not include much of the new road construction around us. We also found that the changing face of our city had many new, moved and closed businesses and our Points of Interest were also out of date. An update was imminent and it was going to cost us this time. I saw on the lifetime map updates on the Garmin site and thought I might find a bit better deal and that brought me here where one of the vendors had a great deal.

If you are unsure whether an update has the new features you are looking for you can preview the detailed US map on the Garmin shopping site. Be careful there are lists of "supported Nuvi units" on some of the vendors sites that are woefully incomplete. For instance our 350 was not on the vendor list, but after a search I was able to find a list on the Garmin shopping site that seems to list all the Nuvi and other units. The product page has a ton of information but you may have to dig around a bit to find it.

What you get in the mail is essentially a reward card size card with a scratch off code. My one gripe for all this is the shipping cost for this is almost unnecessary except the card is in a store theft control hard shell wrapper. If you upgrade at Garmin you will get the code immediately and therefore no shipping so be sure to factor this in the price.

The upgrade was pretty straight forward but took me about 3 hours. The download is almost 2GB so a good internet connection is very helpful, I am pretty sure though you can get it on DVD for shipping cost.

Bottom line, I really like the Garmin unit and the update will have paid for itself the next time I do it. It seems like a good investment to me.

5 out of 5 stars Cheaper to buy on Amazon than from Garmin store   May 5, 2010

IMPORTANT NOTICE: Check with Garmin website to see if your device is compatible for map update. While you on there, register your device. If you are unable to register your device, you will not be able to update the map.

I think this lifetime update cost about $120 to $130 from Garmin website. On Amazon, I bought it for about $85. Here is what I did to get my update on my Garmin device, which is Nuvi 765t:

1) Go to [...]
2) Connect usb cable to your garmin device
3) Click on "myDashboard" When that happens, it will search for your device and update it. Follow on screen instructions on the web site.
4) Click on "myMaps" Next to your device, you should see "Update Available" (Don't click on this button).
5) Click on "Activate Gift Card", which is located right below the picture of your Garmin device.
6) The product key is located on back of your gift card. You will need to scratch the silver cover to see it.
7) Type in the code correctly and click on Activate.
8) From here, there will be series of instructions. Basically there will be a long process of downloading since the file is 2 to 3 GB. Depending on the speed of your internet connection, it may take as little as 30 minutes (I have 15 mbps/5 mbps) or all day. The file will be downloaded to your desktop.
9) After it finish download, open the file to have it installed on your computer and on your Garmin device. This process may take another hour.

This is a great option. Just you can update NA map lifetime with little extra. I got this deal in Amazon and I do strongly recommend for the Garmin users to consider this NA lifetime map update option rather than going for yearly updates.
