Is their any way to update the Maps on this system?

Maps that are 3-4 years old are considered new. There is no support from Power Acoustik or navteq but i'm sure there are other units that share the same maps which you can upgrade. Since the maps are on a SD card i'm sure there's a way to update it, just not through Power Acoustik or Navteq.

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

It takes a sd card that got the gps infomation...... u probably can go 2 the power acoustik web site and download the new maps

There is a way, but Power Acoustik has chosen not to support this feature. Navteq told me that Power Acoustik has access to the map updates and could update units if they chose to do so.

Manufacture has dropped support, no maps updates. You will be stuck in 2008.

Thanks. I think people were talking about buying newer units so they wouldn't have to pay for updates for older units, and not because the maps weren't updatable. That's what confused me.

Hello. unfortunately the maps will not work since they are programmed for the U.S. the unit will work, but the maps wont.

As far as I know, the only way to update the maps is to buy the annual Garmin update on SD card (about $100) and replace the one in your DNX with the new one.

I haven't tried this. I uninstalled the 2007 version to install the 2011 version. I also did not save any older version maps.

No. I contacted the provider of the map software only to find that this unit uses pirated/cracked software that they will not support.

pretty sure u need an internet connection to download the maps, since they arent preloaded. but after they are, gps should work offline

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.

In the one I purchased the maps for Europe are pre-loaded. Once you connect the unit to a computer they, along with the US maps are continuosly updated. Great unit.

The maps are stored on an SD memory card so updating would either require updating or swapping out that card.

I think they made the map system years ago, but they have updates that make it current, you can download for free.

I change them on the main system. But like the other comment, maybe you should download the manual.

No, it does not. I can't even update the maps either. I guess it's too old. I may try hooking it up to the software this weekend to give it another try. I hadn't tried for quite a few months.

I have the same issue so I emailed the seller asking him about the lifetime map updates that I couldn't find the website. He responded back with the unit already had the newest map installed and he would send me the link when a new update comes out.

I would update the maps when you purchase it. I am still using mine with a few small glitches in the maps and it isn't a big deal, but I would update them if I were going to Europe. When I was in Italy in 2012 they worked flawless!

While mine is current, only a month old, there are two ways to upgrade maps and firmware... there is an sd card slot and a usb slot. I think the correct process for updating maps and firmware is to use the sd card slot though. Hope that helps.. I like the unit and the gps is pretty good.
