| Posted by harris56 Garmin Free Map Updates How do you get these free updates? I have completed all the required forms and submitted them electronically to Garmin but when I connect I get a message saying that the device has no update service associated with it? Any ideas? |

| Posted by johmazz2006 Re: Garmin Free Map Updates Did you have your GPS connected to the computer and log into map updates with the Garmin lifetime updater program. Wont work without GPS being connected as the program looks at the model and serial numbers and checks with your records on file. |

From my experience with Garmin the past 2 years, it appears that 'release' updates quarterly. I don't see the point to pay Garmin $79 or $89 (or whatever their fees is) for "unlimited updates" when they come out, to what I have determined, quarterly. Their last update was November 2011 so I'd expect the next one to be in Feb or March. The techs at Garmin are very helpful & you can always call them if your issues can't be resolved. Be patient though, sometimes I've waited on hold for 20-30 minutes. Here's their contact info: http://poidirectory.com/forum/topic/2183.html |

| Posted by Guest Garmin 1490 LMT traffic facility - useless Garnin 1490 LMT FM Traffic only works sporadically, despite travelling in the UK - M25 box or M40 area where coverage is good. Often it takes 45 minutes to load! This behavior began right after taking my 2nd update (1st being right after purchase) and hasn't been resolved with subsequent updates. Come on Garmin - fix it please |
