It was advertised to have free up dates but does not show when I installed software.

It depends on when you bought it. They did have a promotional period when everyone got free map updates. but, if you bought it any other time, you have to pay for them.

My subscription ran out this spring so if the areas I saved were updated I didn't notice an improvement. I can still view maps I had saved during my subscription. The quality isn't as good as googlemaps.com but considering the price I paid I felt they were worth it. It does make things better than looking at a plan topo map.

I suspect that the 'LM' in the product name indicates free 'lifetime map' updates...you pay for it with the price. You will have to register with Garmin.So, NO ! you don't pay for map updates.

Yes, I believe so but it cost money to do so. There is a little memory card which the maps are loaded on and if you needed to you could purchase the updated maps from online.. Although I never had to because the maps is relatively up to date at least in my area

no, did not pay. If you like to have map updates, then you need to pay, but in Alaska works with no map updates and is very close to the good known maps and we all know that Alaska is third world which is growing fast

Sorry I don't own this anymore, but from what I have read, you do not get free updates, you will have to purchase them

Yes. It comes with a map function that is the same as GPS, and you can also get several free GPS apps.

Hello, This is pretty up to date you can update your maps anytime by hooking up to your pc. You can save yourself the extra $100. The only issue I have with it is when you are coming out of a tunnel it takes a solid minute to get back to work. I would give it 4 out of 5 stars. Best of luck and trucking.

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.

No, and so far no Map updates available.Get yourself a waterproof case for the Garmin, I stopped using this and put my Garmin in a case.

No, it has it's own built in maps ... which are fairly good. Nice about this is the fact that good maps are included. I bought a different brand and returned it because you had to purchase for an additional cost more detailed maps

Lifetime map updates should still be working. The only thing I've read is that you should let it update the unit fully with the one free update (outside of the lifetime maps) and not put in the code for the lifetime map updates until later. It may have trouble if you put the code in right away.I have this model that I bought about a month and a half ago. Works great. No complaints.
