Price drop coming due to free navigation announcement (01/21/2010)? So does anyone know if the navigation edition will drop in price, since the only thing you're paying for now is the car kit?

In response to R. Sherborne's post you mention that you were able to update your 2008 maps to 2009 for free. I'm extremely interested to know where and how you did this. I am anxious to update my Nuvi 360 to the 2009 maps but the garmin site charges $70.00. Any tips would be appreciated.

It would be nice if there were another sale here soon. After all, Race Pro is coming out for the 360 next week, and it caters to a simulator crowd (who tend to spend money on things like this). I'm in this category, and frankly, the first company to put the Evolution on a good sale will get my money. I'd like it to be Amazon, but if it is someone else, so be it.

In the e-mail the prices were $229.99 and $299.99 ... perhaps you thought they were the same? I tried adding the $299.99 version to my shopping cart, and it came up $299.99. Might have been a temporary glitch, or else they fixed it after seeing your post. Looks like a handy gadget to have!

just got mine today (08/22/08). included maps are the 2008 edition. when i registered the product i got a free download for the 2009 edition - which i am taking advantage of as i type this... according to the 'thank you for registering' email, the free update to 2009 maps is available until september 21st, and when you accept the download, you have 90 days to get it before the product key expires. (its a good 2 hour download alone, not including install time)

@ alexanderaku, I just bought a Nav edition 5800 a couple of weeks ago. I had the same questions as RY Chua has. Hence did the research and found out the differences. That said, I still bought this phone and love it. I personally can't comment of whether the update on Xpress music has made that screen more sensitive than the current Nav version or not. Although kinetic scrolling is a plus in the new firmware. Apart from that I liked the chrome strip on the Nav compared to the Xpress music, which comes with the same color strip as the rest of the phone (check out the pics of the Nav edition vs. Xpress music). Also, I bought it from a different seller and paid a little extra as amazon didn;t have this price then, so this price is great for the Nav edition.

Hi Kwilt. Fellow Cheesehead here (Waukesha). Very glad to see 2009 map version shipping with these. Saves me time and hassle. Guess I should have left mine at 'free shipping' instead of next day :-)I'm interested in the SW version that comes with it. Is it 4.5 or something else? Thanks!Mike D

Thanks for the information as I appreciate it. It still looks like a pretty good deal but the updated maps would have closed the deal for me.

I understand that Garmin nüvi 1690 4.3-Inch Portable Bluetooth Navigator with nüLink! Services will be out in late October. The price is around 500.00. Here is the link for more information: https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?cID=134&pID;=64339

I am shopping for my 1st GPS. TomTom 340TM is supposed to include free maps for the life of the device. How can they refuse to upgrade the maps on your refurb? slloyd1000@verizon.net

We basically ordered this for a new tuner; we do do not have installed navigation. Sorry we couldn't have been of more help.

Maybe log out, then log back in again to refresh your cart. The price was dropped just last night, I got an email telling me so and when I came back to my cart to look, it was showing $9.99.

I'm frustrated about this too.I'm glad to see the price drop however. I hope you get a reply soon.

My guess is that they will be behind by one version at least. I've never bought a GPS that didn't need an update after purchase. Easy to update via web access and generally free initially at least.

No fees with the magellan3100 and several other models, however there are no "annual" updates on this model. You have to go to the Magellan website and check for updates for it. The last two I downloaded were free. I have not done a download since 2011, so I do not know what is NEW for it out there. Read it over, know what yours is capable of doing and then go from there.

I was able to get a hold of Amazon support by phone today. I was told the Nuvi 350 units being shipped have NT 2008 map in it. I asked about the v.5 mentioned on Amazon website and he did not know about that. He would check and have it corrected. According to him, Garmin will start shipping units with 2009 map in about a month, starting with the 200 series, 300's, and so on. Based on this, I plan to buy one now even with 2008 map. Again, he could not confirm about free update from Garmin. If I can get a free update, that's great. If not, I'm still happy since price had come down significantly

Pretty good. For some reason, was spot on in Portland, Oregon, and a little funky in the Boston area. I think it needs to be updated, but haven't seen anything from Pioneer about that. I might hold off if I were you. My Iphone has a much better, more up-to-date nav system and my car stereo guy says that the new trend in nav systems is to stream from your phone precisely for that reason. Also, if you have an iPHone 5 and want to use the AVIC-D3, the last I heard, they do NOT have a compatible adapter for the Lightning. The Apple adapter works but NOT for charging. At least on my iPad mini. Very disappointed. Pretty good. For some reason, was spot on in Portland, Oregon, and a little funky in the Boston area.
