How to get free garmin updates nuvi foe Google maps?


A couple days ago, I updated my Garmin nuvi. But now I am looking for free maps for my Garmin GPS device. I think my Maps for Garmin are outdated. i want to ask one thing more is it as simple as purchasing a US map, downloading it to a new SD card and simple swapping the memory card when I move between here and the US, and swapping back when I get home? I am really confused what to do any help of yours will be really appreciated.

For getting "Free Maps" from Garmin - all you need to do is to go the website namely - http://www.garmin.com/us/maps. From here go the "Maps" section and the to the "Update Maps". There you will find two sections :

  • nuMaps LifeTime
  • nuMaps OneTime

Choose the one as per your requirement and download it in your handset just the way you would download any other software. Choose the best –

For the free update simply go to nuMaps Guarantee – Free Map Update Section. From here you just need to connect your nuvi to your computer and visit www.garmin.com/mapupdates within 90 days of first acquiring satellites on your device. From here you can get any of the various maps available like Road, Water, Trail, Marine, City or Green Maps.

You can choose the one which suits you the most – as per your requirements or by following the guide provided by Garmins’. You should also visit “Unlock Maps” section on the right hand side of the website to find the perfect and most useful match.

In addition to this, you can also install Garmin Communicator Plugin. This will be an added advantage for you and your friends. Go ahead, get it now!
