Sorry, I don't know. Also, this alert was so annoying I deleted it. Being stuck in traffic and having the repeated alert 20 to 30 times was crazy. I also found if you drive paralell to a railroad on a freeway, any nearby rail crossing off the freeway will repeatedly warn you. I foud 90% errors so I dumped it. You may do well to let it go. Depends on where you live or travel. Bob

It's always you I would get in contact with them direct and if you can't you've answered your own question

Your PhantomAlert subscription license should be good for about 10 independent devices. So, you should have no problem installing it to a new GPS device (as long as you don't go above their number of devices limit). Check with Phantom Alert if anything has changed, though. Thanks.

I believe you can download up to devices. Best bet is to go to Phantomalert.com and contact support. If its for a life time i'm sure it makes no difference if you purchase a new gps next year.

I agree, we should ask Garmin to clarify their policy. FYI, Garmin does not sell GPS units direct to consumer.

Mine was an upgrade, wanted a GPS on my truck.I bought mine for $399.It does come from China, so be ready to wait a while, unless Amazon has one that ships faster.

Call Garmin again ... and again. Not everyone in support knows what they are talking about. Their guarantee states you have 60 days for the latest maps. Also note that Garmin has been messing up lately with these upgrades (not sure why).Just a note on the maps. There is nothing "magical" about new maps -- they may or may not make much difference in many areas of the country. I know people who have had a Garmin for several years and never updated the maps. And just because it says the maps are "new", doesn't mean they won't have missing roads or errors.

You have to purchase them, but you won't get any new, because garmin changed format. Don't know, if you can load BlueChart *G2*, But old BlueCharts will do. Last one for Europe is from year 2009.

This question depends on whether u would spend on another GPS or just keep it plugged in everytime u use it.

Base maps only (which is basically main highways only). You will need the life time maps this is for North America but other regions are available: https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?pID=33379

Mine is Year 2013 Version, But Garmin can be updated once a year if you care to do that, very little changes occur in this area, that I'm not aware of.

I owned one for 7 years. I was pleased with the GPS system and the sonar screen. I did have to replace the monitor after 5 years. Their service was great with good turnaround.

I think you mean model LM. The LM stands for Lifetime Maps. You register the GPS with Garmin, download an app called Garmin Express, and use it to check for updates. The updates to the firmware and maps are free for life, whereas you have to pay for updates if you don't buy the LM model. I have owned mine 2 1/2 months, and done 2 firmware updates I would have had to pay for without LM

No, and I am considering purchasing a new GPS unit that does include lifetime map updates. It won't cost much more than buying new maps for this one. most directions are fine, but there are some changes since 2010 when I bought it and I would update if I could.

I just wrote to Garmin and asked if there was any sort of extra warrantee on the battery, and they wrote back..."Thank you for contacting Garmin International. I am unaware of any typeof "Super Warranty" on our batteries. Our units are covered for 1 year however the battery is designed to last 5-7 years depending on usage. "I would ordinarily consider this to be unacceptable, but actually I'm not too uncomfortable with this, because the unit will still work in a car even with a trashed battery.-dk

Thanks a lot. It's helpful but I already bought it. I want it for trekking and have never owned a GPS of any sort before so I suspect I'm in for a lesson or two! i guess I'll return it if it doesn't measure up.

If you buying new perhaps. If used I would say no unless it is still under warranty. It does not come with the GPS stick either you would have to buy it seperately
