is this what you use to download map updates

The reason I came looking for this ANT stick is because the Garmin support webpage says you can use either this or your usb cable that comes with your gps to download map updates. So the correct answer to your question is yes.

It sounds like you are looking for something to download maps to a car or maritime GPS. I am unsure, but I doubt it unless you have no wired option for connection. I use mine to connect to my forerunner GPS watch.

Yes, you do have to pay for updates. Garmin just released updated maps. They are FREE for recent buyers of other units. But, Garmin will NOT give a free copy to buyers of the Garmin i5. The updated maps cost $70.

Absolutely. In fact, that is pretty much what you are paying for. You can enter coordinates in any of several different formats, and the device will lead you in a straight line to that location. But be advised, you will have to pay extra to download that pretty map they show in the picture.

Yes, anyway in the user manual there is a web site to download any map and software

Don't believe everything you read here. I've upgraded maps twice on this device with no problems. There's even a handy program to let you know when it needs upgrading. Three hours is reasonable for the tremendous amount of data to be replaced. It's been a good bargain for us.

Yes, it comes with everything. I think the update to the most current maps is free too.

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).

Lifetime map updates should still be working. The only thing I've read is that you should let it update the unit fully with the one free update (outside of the lifetime maps) and not put in the code for the lifetime map updates until later. It may have trouble if you put the code in right away.I have this model that I bought about a month and a half ago. Works great. No complaints.

I didn't find any obsolete road information, but for businesses the data was so unreliable that I gave up using it. Of course, the lack of free updates made the maps useless, too, eventually, and I ended up giving the Roadmat to my grandson as a toy and got a Garmin unit, which has free updates.

I would suggest that you contact Garmin technical support and ask that same question to be sure your unit will support it - I have an older model Garmin nuvi and the last update I downloaded required me to put a memory card in to hold the amount of data - it was cheap enough - but something to consider is whether your unit will support current and future map updates & downloads - if your unit will support this lifetime maps update, go for it - great deal

maps come loaded in the unit, future updates would have to be purchased separately

Updating these units is not a problem as long as you can do math prior to the update. Delete unessential voices (computer voices are larger), back up the old outdated map to your computer, delete the outdated map, download and install the new map. You should have plenty of space. If you're not sure do the following math (available space) - (space required for update) where result is a positive number means you can do the update. 5 minutes of googling will save you hours of hassle.

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.
