If you have the GPS device connected to the camera, the date/time/zone should update automatic

Never, and you cant import older " est." files into it. I have lost hundreds of files of addresses when I foolishly bought version 2011 to update my 2005 version. All my old saved data is useless. Also, there are few improvements in the 2011 version except easier access to the (optional, expensive) GPS plug in. This GPS plug in is useless and redundent since most serious drivers have GPS in there autos anyway. I rate Streets and Trips an "F". It sucks.

Yes you can import an older data base. I've kept mine going from version 3. something.

You should be able to just download/buy the maps for it, then just update the system, maybe?

Load the supplied software and "check for software updates". If there are any (they do not seem to happen very often. I have found one update in 8 months), they can be downloaded, then transferred to the GPS via the supplied GPS cable.

I do NOT believe there is. I am using their "Content Manager" to keep my content GPS updated and it's as slow as the first day I got it. Many times I've already passed a road and/or executed a turn by a couple of seconds before my position is actually recognized (and I am talking about suburbs with no building obstructions.) If you are reading this before purchase, do yourself a favor and consider something else.

yes, you can plan your routes in google maps ( or any other similar mapping application ) and then import the routes into GPS unit. The maps can be updated as well.

TOMTOM can update the map as you connect the device with computer online. It works very well.

You can turn the "Record GPS data" feature on and off. You can also "update a GPS files" and "Erase GPS data"

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.

No, and I am considering purchasing a new GPS unit that does include lifetime map updates. It won't cost much more than buying new maps for this one. most directions are fine, but there are some changes since 2010 when I bought it and I would update if I could.

It's called Garmin express. It is the same program you use to update maps and software.
