Am I able to update the maps, and do you know what GPS system it is exactly?

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

Seller stated that these units are recently manufactured, and that current TomTom maps should come with it.
889694
No, Not yet according to the manufacture, but its in the works. That's the answer I got, but for the price you can't go wrong

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

I am so glad that you posted this update as Euro updates would have been essential to me too. I looked and found no exclusion to suggest they weren't included. Very naughty of TomTom ! Worth a challenge if you can put up with the attitude of the customer service staff. I had a similar experience with the purchase of a refurbished TomTom which suggested that it had the latest maps. They weren't !!! They were three updates out of date immediately. Buyer beware.

It comes with copyrighted navigation maps which can be updated online at naviextras.com. It is free to update the latest version within 30 days from first time this unit receives gps signal.

I would suggest you do the system update right away. I used mine for a trip from Baltimore to Toronto, and I definitely should have done the update (because there are now roadways which weren't there a few years ago when this model released). Do the updates and your Garmin will work better than ever.

I am really wanting this unit, but worried about the "refurb/new" thing ... should I be concerned? were you guys able to update maps on ALL those that suspected "used"? ... should I go ahead and get it ??

Unless the ad states that the GPS has the latest firmware I don't think there is any way to tell. When/if you get the GPS load the free software program VantagePoint from Magellan, it will update the firmware, this is a very handy program.I hope this helps.

Nope, these are not SW upgrades nor Firmware upgrades you can get later. Some of these features are Hardware capabilities so you do not get additional capabilities as time goes by. SW upgrades tends to be bug fixes or new additions of the map data. IN my observaton, Garmin will add back "some" of these capabilities in a future model line.

EARL -- curious about the time line in your post. I see that on the Magellan site they show Map Upgrade v45 as being the most current. If I read your post correctly, that upgrade was originally released in Dec 2011 and then retracted and in Feb you still didn't have it? That would suggest the current Map Upgrade v45 is at BEST 5 months old (if they released it February 19th

Good Eveining,The GPS is normally the current maps of USA and CANADA. I would assume that they would be the up to date ones. For the updates you would probably have to speak with the manufacturer. Unfortunately the cost is your decision. There are pros and cons for GPS so i would just think about if it is worth it to you financially.Thank you.

No. I bought this for my mother as a present. By the time it came for her to open it, it was to late to return.the GPS doesn't work at all. Can't get a map to any where

TOMTOM can update the map as you connect the device with computer online. It works very well.

What's up Frank! Hope you're doing well. I think you might have to update the maps. I am not a specialist, but I recently recieved a message on my GPS startup screen to update the map (have yet to do so). Last year when this issue happened, the map update helped fix address issue, temporarily. Gramin offers free up-to-date maps on their website. Overall it is a good GPS for finding LOCAL locations. I have found that once you'd been to the area with the GPS on, it records the satellite points for faster access in the future. Make sure you flip open the antennae (square flap) to connect. Accuracy is like 7.65900/10 and has internal issues like the one Frank talked about. The GPS itself (internal software) is 5/10. It's okay and has bugs when you are typing in the address. It only accepts a specific format for addresses (something like zip code, city, house #, street name). I would recommend it only if you are looking for something cheap and are somewhat are familiar with the compass rose and major landmarks in the city.
