Is the map current, up to date?

Yes! Now, I'm not a geographical major of any sort but after scrutiny and close examination, it appears to be current. I do anticipate some global changes in the near future IE; Ukrain & Middle East but that's not an anomaly by any means, so you must accept the fact that any Globe purchase comes with the risk of becoming outdated or even obsolete as the world turns, so to speak. If you check the manufacturers website, it appears as though quality control is a key component of their success, at least I was convinced. To sum it all up, I have been very pleased with my purchase as it is both functional and a nice (furniture) accessory. Best wishes...

I think they made the map system years ago, but they have updates that make it current, you can download for free.

EARL -- curious about the time line in your post. I see that on the Magellan site they show Map Upgrade v45 as being the most current. If I read your post correctly, that upgrade was originally released in Dec 2011 and then retracted and in Feb you still didn't have it? That would suggest the current Map Upgrade v45 is at BEST 5 months old (if they released it February 19th

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.

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.

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.

No, it is not accurate, per se because to get all the tracks in the map, I'm sure, it had to be modified for the game. It's still a good map, IMO. The cities are not in a English spelling manner though. I liked that because I had to look some of them up in the Dictionary.

Yes, there are monitor out for that purpose and the maps are updatable but I have not done it yet.

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 updated the maps once after purchasing the device as new version of the maps were available. Did not encounter any restriction on the no. of times I could do that. Also the documentation says that it is free for the 'usable' life of the device i.e. until the device can support the newer versions of the map either in the sense of its capability or storage space.

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.

I bought factory refurbished and i satisfied with the quality and to update the map just visit the website and connect your device when you install the application, it will guide you to update your map immediately.

Thanks P. Romero. I would really like to buy from Amazon because of the price and what not but I don't want to have to pay $75 for a map update after I buy. Let me know what you find out. Thanks.

Kinda, but it's not updated very frequently. So, the restaurants will be what was there when the map was made. The map says it was updated last year, but the restaurants are the ones from 5 years ago.It's good enough to get around.
