GPS Map Updates

[Grumpy]

Good advice, but I am aware of the scams. I never order anything from any email that I recieve, regardless of the source or company. If I want something that is advertized in an email, even by a company I normally deal with, I close the email and go the the company website. If I can;t find the same offer there, then, as you point out, it may have been a scam.

I know my wifes Garmin is now telliong us every time we turn it on that it needs to be updated. If you use yoru GPS on road trips to help find food or gas along the route I would update it. But if you are punching in addresses to find places, I wouldnt bother...

I've got a Garmin Nuvi in my work vehicle because I drive in several different counties every day. I have updated it once in the last 3 years.
It needed it too.. There are always new streets and addresses that it can't locate but I just look on Google maps for free now. I have a laptop with me 90% of the time with a built in AirCard so problem solved. Even now after 3-4 years with one update ($75) my Garmin finds over 99% of the addresses I need.
