The garmin maps are no good. Pretty outdated and are not life time. You need to download the latest maps if updates are available.

No. But you can pay a fee every couple of years to have them updated. You can google Garmin and they will list the fees.

Yes, but be aware of certain models. You will have to pay high cost for map updates.Make sure you buy a model that offers free lifetime up dates.

I suspect that the 'LM' in the product name indicates free 'lifetime map' updates...you pay for it with the price. You will have to register with Garmin.So, NO ! you don't pay for map updates.

Yes it does. Just checked it out. There is a window in the lower left corner of the screen which can display time of day, altitude, or direction of travel. Just touch that window and you can select the options.

NO! very misleading. I bought this model last year for Germany trip and did not have a map package. Was too late when I got there so I spent a month without a gps.

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

Their marketing indicates that the updates include the map of Europe, but in fact it does not.See the company's statement at: http://www.tomtom.com/en_us/services/other/lifetime-map-updates/#tab:tab2

Yes, I have the version with the lifetime maps for the US and Canada and it has Alaska. By my research, the US only map model doesn't include Alaska and the US and Canada map model does include Alaska.

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.

It comes with base maps. I suggest nautical insight pro offshore charts. This has the coastal coverage. I fish the marshes of Louisiana, and was a huge improvement to the base maps.

It means if you have life time maps Its just for the USA if not you will have to pay for Europe maps. Go to garmins web sit for Europe maps, but there not cheap.

Chrisitine, This item does not come with any maps as far as we know. At least the ones we ordered needed the map card to be iserted to show it. Hope this help...
