I have the same issue so I emailed the seller asking him about the lifetime map updates that I couldn't find the website. He responded back with the unit already had the newest map installed and he would send me the link when a new update comes out.

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 don't know if it does but I will tell you that I purchased this item and it was not loaded with any maps. So it was useless unless you wanted to spend another $60 to load the maps on. Be careful.

Not quite clear on what you mean. Essentially the update is supposed to give you new info that wasn't included in the previous data, like new streets or some that were previously excluded. One problem I have found is, that when trying to update maps, the system does not allow it, and Garmin will NOT answer when queried about it. VERY disappointing and to my thinking fraudulent (as it prevents me from getting my money's worth.)

Magellan rarely proivides map updates. I purchased 2 5045LMs in 2010 and have received only ONE map update. With Lifetime Map Updates they are supposed to occur 4 times a year, but I have only received 1. Not good for their Lifetime Map Updates.

No But you can add what you want from new and updated maps through the internet .

Unlike these other morons that have the unit wired wrong. (If the unit resets, you have it wired wrong!) Yes, you can update the GPS maps. It is done via a dedicated SDHC card.

You can order the maps or firmware upgrade from the seller you purchased from. I have these. Thanks.

As far as I can tell, the maps are current. You get regular updates after you register your GPS (just log in with it connected to your computer).

Maps for North America are already installed. They need to be updated periodically (~once a year) but the unit should come ready to use.

None that I'm aware of. The map update data (map set with new/changed data) overwrites the existing maps.

If you install the micro sd, will it overwrite the maps that are not on the sd card?

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

The map I received a few months ago is copyrighted 2012. As far as I can tell it is up-to-date with the latest boarders and boundaries.
