My map ETA time is all over the place. Anybody else having this problem? I have installed all of the updates from Clarion and the map time is never correct.

Mine does the same thing. cant rely on it for estimated arrival. google maps works better.

I still have that same problem after updating the unit twice. The map ETS switches from current to 4 hours later no matter the route. The software on this unit is very quirky and frustrating.

My unit tends to run roughly 10 minutes long per hour of travel...it can not account for my 7-10+ miles per hour over the speed limit and may be adding some traffic variable that I never really see. The close I get to my destination it seem to get in line with a more realistic ETA.

I did an update back in Nov. 2012 and had different new issues. The lower right corner icon keeps changing what it displays. Clarion support is not helpful. I will not install future updates until Clarion fixes issues with the NX602. While the unit has potential to be an excellent product Clarion support is very poor. My ETA is OK (for now).

I had nx 602 installed twice and had the most updated software but ETA kept changing and day mode and night mode kept switching back and forth. After talking to customer service, I will wait for NX 603 to come out. Nx 602 has serious software issues.

Thank you for a post that is easy to understand with good information! I have read many, many complaints about the Life Time Map updates because of the advertisements...many people are returning the units. It's hard to find one that is not part of this program. In this case "older is better'!

I found that the 3rd party maps ordered at a greatly discounted price does not allow for updates of maps. I guess if it came with the maps preloaded you would get the lifetime updates (LM). I currently have the European maps and get the updates. Did you purchase the unit with LM designated behind model number?

Any have the experience of downloading maps from the web and make it work MANNUALLy? because direct downloading and installing seems impossible!!! Thanks!Josh

The map are loaded on this unit. The maps are from 2010. I would recommend getting the life time updates for 100.00 bucks that way you will be up to date with road in the US. P.Hansen

Hello, This is pretty up to date you can update your maps anytime by hooking up to your pc. You can save yourself the extra $100. The only issue I have with it is when you are coming out of a tunnel it takes a solid minute to get back to work. I would give it 4 out of 5 stars. Best of luck and trucking.

Maps that are 3-4 years old are considered new. There is no support from Power Acoustik or navteq but i'm sure there are other units that share the same maps which you can upgrade. Since the maps are on a SD card i'm sure there's a way to update it, just not through Power Acoustik or Navteq.

Hey M. , Did you add Mapping solfware yourself ? If you did, you have to have the solfware Settings , set for the GPS unit. Mapping setting have to match. Not sure where but it should say something about downloading maps to the unit. A friend of mine didn't have the setting matching and we were off about 1/4 mile. This is not good when out hunting.

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

So what about the Lifetime Map Updates? Some of the more recent reviews make it seem like they are no longer functioning. Is this true? And how old is this model/when was it first released? Thanks in advance!Edit: Thought I'd add that I just bought an XL 335 SE from Wal-Mart on Black Friday for $80. It works well, but it seems like this would be a significant upgrade from that model for only $10 more! Tell me if I'm wrong!

I have recently been in touch with Pioneer about this and to date they don't have a map upgrade available. Seems weird since the maps are getting fairly old but I guess keeping the maps up to date isn't a priority with Pioneer. Just another annoyance with a unit that I have been very disappointed with.

I tried to download the original map but kept getting error messages saying my unit doesn't Have that FUNCTION?/// What a waste of time..

I find the 1450 frustrating to set up routes the way I want them. They should at least include MapSource with it. Hopefully I will find a solution...

Thanks, A. Gray. I decided to contact customer service, too. I really wanted a printable reference for the times. Much to my surprise, they sent me an email with a spreadsheet table, listing all the times. And they responded in less than four hours. Incredible. I have to wonder, as do you, why the times aren't included in this manual. In looking back through their previous models' manuals (available online) I see the times listed in most all the ones I looked through. This seems like an oversight on their part. Perhaps it will be corrected with the next printing.

this unit's map is outdate. The update costs 100 bucks. Magellan sells you milk which has gone bad and ask you to pay 100 bucks for update, becasue they are buying milk from someone else. Give me a break.
