I am confused... by Garmin... I have 3 models GPSMap 276C, a GPSMap 78sc, a GPSMap 640. Can one download do all 3?

I don't think so. If you get the chip, you may be able to switch it between units. I'd call and talk to Garmin directly. Better still, email them and then you'll have a written copy of what they said.

I would suggest that you contact Garmin technical support and ask that same question to be sure your unit will support it - I have an older model Garmin nuvi and the last update I downloaded required me to put a memory card in to hold the amount of data - it was cheap enough - but something to consider is whether your unit will support current and future map updates & downloads - if your unit will support this lifetime maps update, go for it - great deal

As far as I know you can download new 2008 map version from Garmin site for free. Btw. consider Costco.com for 650 ($299 before taxes).

Also on this page there is an option to 'Additional software for your GPSMAP 295' that will allow you to download software...Good luck. https://fly.garmin.com/fly-garmin/portables/

Hello,My experience with the GPSMAP 62 was not very good. The unit froze up several times during use and each time I had to restart the unit. Coworkers of mine use the GPSMAP 60 and really like it and I have heard the GPSMAP 64 is a good model. I recently purchased a Garmin Etrex 30 and I love it. I paid $200 and it's worth every penny. The new GLONASS technology in the etrex 30 is outstanding, I can be in the thickest timber canopy and still have >20' accuracy. I hope this helps.

I know this is a little late. I apologize. Yes, We have quite a mix of radios at our shop including Garmins and they all work together. Except for if you code them, they may not.

I do not know for sure. When I first got it it seemed to run fine with US and Canada base maps that came from factory. I updated those using the Garmin updater software tool. I put a 4gb micro SD card it it from my old unit but have never seen any indications that I really needed it. Try the Garmin website if you need more info. I am very happy with the thing. Bigger screen and faster, better menu system them my old unit.Good luck

I just contacted the Garmin customer service and asked them the differences between v-7 and v-8. If you already purchased one with v-7, they can send you a v-8 dvd for free download. The disk is free. All you have to do is call and register. 1-800-800-1020

Should you receive a unit with the older maps:Several of us who received the older v. 8 maps have been promised the new v. 2008 maps at no charge when the DVD is available. Can't promise, but Garmin was very nice to me about getting the map updates. I contacted techsupp, but others have also contacted product support with success. Hopefully Garmin has changed their policy to provide the map updates for free now, if you've purchased since the new version started shipping.

I wondered about that too .. although I'd trust Garmin's website and other 3rd party discussion sites ... the ?70 units are built to contain maps for both continents, and the ?80 are the first one's with MSN Direct.Perhaps there'll be a future ?90 (390/690) range that combines the two sets of new features? :)For now, I'm just wondering whether tot ake the plunge with the 660 and its FMt raffic/preloaded POIs, or wait for the MSN-direct 680 to be released (April?)!

How about the 885 without MSN Direct, and adding the GTM 20, which gives Navtec fm traffic? That's what I'm considering doing. Might want to call Garmin to see if this option will give you what you want. If you do, would you report back?Yes. 855 is the one i mean. Sorry for the confusion.

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.

Sorry, I can't answer that one. I have a gpsmap 96, and it works fine on that.

It would be the same map available from Garmin but probably at a lower price. Get the disk version as opposed to the download version, then you can use it for more than one machine if you replace your 600 or get another Garmin gps.
