If you have the Golf Buddy, and you then are purchasing a wrist band on which to put the Golf Buddy, you do not need to purchase a GPS program. The Golf Buddy gives you the info you are looking for.

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.

Only if you have installed the original NuMaps. It is an upgrade wich did not work on my Garmin. Returned it and got the actual program which worked

Either in conjunction with a GPS unit, or by programming, or, if you're fortunate enough to live in one of the relatively few areas that are already programmed in, you're good to go. I have not programmed mine yet, and I don't live in one of the favored areas. In order to program it, you have to have either a lot of information and patience, or specialized software, such as that available from ScannerMaster.com (for a price) augmented with data from RadioReference.com (for a subscription fee), which will be my choice when I get the time and money to go that route.

Yes, you will need a simcard (with a subscription or prepay). The GPS itself needs to be able to send you SMSes from this simcard.

Yes that is exactly when it works, away from all connections. as long as you are outside and let it find sattelites, you will be able to use your map Programs. you may have to go to settings as it has to accept the Map program, then it will track onto your map on your tablet or phone, i personally use "Navigon Maps", and a Canadian topo map as well, good Luck, rick.m

By now, you have probably talked to Garmin. But in case you haven't, the answer is (or at least "should be") yes. Download Garmin's Webupdater and plug your unit into the computer. As well as the map update, you will also get any firmware updates that might have been released since you bought the unit.

Not in the US. The European version has GPS, but the US version does not Joseph May Techtrackr.com

I believe this is proprietary. From what I've experienced, it ties to the GPS software itself to supply the information. Best I can give you.

I dont believe I needed one. I used it on www.Geocaching.com to download coordinates for caches. You just click on "send to gps" and it will ask you what kind of gps you have and then it links to your gps and downloads the coordinates. Sorry if this doesnt help.

It has onboard GPS. I can only assume that you can down load a Nav app that will work. Scout is a great app for that.

Hmm i guess it says there is GPS in the title. How does it work?? I have this product. I also don't know how to update the information.

There is a "Maps" app that comes installed. If you allow it to do so, (and you have Wi-Fi or a data connection) it will show you where you are and give directions to a destination. It doesn't actually give the GPS coordinates but there is an app for that too (I use "My Altitude").
