Does this unit allow you to update the maps?

it comes with 2 gb micro sd card and you use that to update you can not use any other card as the unit and the "update tool"only recognizes that card and you can not transfer the data to another card at this time.

For Windows: 1. Go to http://www.magellangps.com/ 2. Click Support in the menu bar. 3. In the Support menu on the left, click Map Upgrades. 4. Choose the options you want from the menus on that page. You will probably have to register your GPS unit, create a Magellan account, and be logged in to be able to update your map. I do not know of any map updates for the Roadmate 5045.

It does come with maps; however, they may or may not be the latest. Garmin does allow you to update the maps once for free, but it does require a standard USB to mini-USB cable which is not provided. For more information visit the Garmin website.

Does it or doesn't it include updates of European maps? Can TomTom set the record straight on this?

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, but be aware of certain models. You will have to pay high cost for map updates. Make sure you buy a model that offers free lifetime up dates.

None that I'm aware of. The map update data (map set with new/changed data) overwrites the existing maps.

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

The map was downloaded fine but the update failed and destroyed the original map in the device. I had to delete the corrupted map on the device and then updated again with the downloaded map. Now, it works with latest map but it's not easy.

yes, update only in software and other features such as voice. Not Road maps. To have Road maps update need to purchase online $80 or less on lifetime update.

I bought factory refurbished and i satisfied with the quality and to update the map just visit the website and connect your device when you install the application, it will guide you to update your map immediately.

Well, it is the updated model...with the features mentioned, plus speed limits for major roads and an indication if you are exceeding it. The maps aren't up to date (at least on mine ordered in Oct. 2012) If you have a memory card that fits the unit you can upload new maps. I had to buy one. I found that (once I had the memory card) the first download of maps took less than an hour when I used the 800 number--unlike the 4 to 5 hours mentioned on line. (I had registered the GPS online.)

hi, were you able to update it? did you need that in a way to use it? (im asking as Im trying to define if I should or not get this unit...) thanks!

You get a one-time map update with the package, which allows for the latest maps from Garmin to be loaded. It is fairly straight forward once you download their software.

My unit, which I bought last summer after it was discontinued, came packaged with a unique code that enables me to get map updates. Once the software is set up with the code on your computer, the process is straightforward. I suppose it could make a difference if the seller is not an authorized seller, but probably not since the code was in the sealed box.
