How recent are the maps? 2014? 2015?

The maps on my card were 2010. We used it in 2013 and had to work around several areas of Norway. With the adapting of those countries to EU standards you will see a number of changes and with construction, particularly in Norway, I suggest you pay the extra for a new chip.

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.

My subscription ran out this spring so if the areas I saved were updated I didn't notice an improvement. I can still view maps I had saved during my subscription. The quality isn't as good as googlemaps.com but considering the price I paid I felt they were worth it. It does make things better than looking at a plan topo map.

I saw somewhere, think the Delorme site, where you can download 2013. Didn't see if you could with 2014 though, I am looking for that answer.

I didn't find any obsolete road information, but for businesses the data was so unreliable that I gave up using it. Of course, the lack of free updates made the maps useless, too, eventually, and I ended up giving the Roadmat to my grandson as a toy and got a Garmin unit, which has free updates.

It was new in 2014. Don't know if anything has changed for 2015. Either way it's a great addition to my bag.

The current map update is 2014.4. The unit came with a 2008 version. The unit would not accept the update and Garmin could not help due to the age of the unit. It is not a charging/mounting issue.

I have found that a map update for my Magellan device, that also included Lifetime Maps for free, ended up costing me $50.Is there anyone here that has actually updated their 1490LMT with a new map? I am in search of a new nav. device that actuallyhas a map from this decade in it.-Thanks

I purchased a Garmin Nuvi in December of 2012 and there have been NO UPDATES to the "free" lifetime maps as of January 2015 .... ripoff!!!

I bought my GPA in 2010 but it has been used several times since then and worked fine. I am going to Italy in a few weeks and someone told me they thought I could update the maps before I left.

Hi Steve,I didn't update the maps and during my trip on the 4th of July weekend, I didn't need to as the navi was correct in all directions I went to. I will update on my next road trip to Seattle, WA. Hope that helps. Take care.RH

Updated streets.. developments that didn't exist 5 years ago are now on the map.. This is my 3rd or 4th version... I update it every few years.It really IS very useful.. The updated version also gives you DETAILED information for each place you stop at along your way, which is especially useful when you are traveling for 3 or 4 days.. I really like 2013, I was in too much of a hurry to wait for 2014..

No you have to pay for map updates. The maps that come with it are pretty up-to-date, but not the most up-to-date. The unit gives you a website to go to for updates, and the process is pretty straightforward, but it does cost some money

I have the same question. Garmin's version is 2013.10. Some reviews here were complaining about the maps being out of date. Could this be the reason this one is so cheap?

I just received my Garmin 350 today from Amazon. It did not come with the latest maps but if you go to Garmin's website and and register the GPS you can get a free update to the maps. You will also want to update the firmware on the GPS to the latest firmware from Garmin.This can all be done easily from the Garmin website.

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.
