Hi Donna, if a software update is available, under settings, then you can go ahead and update it. -Vincent

I think the company quit supporting it. I keep getting a server down whenever I try to update it...otherwise I'd recommend it. If not having portability isn't an issue, I'd suggest a system like Ouya. It's an android based unit with a game controller if android is what you're looking for.

yes you still be able to receive the map updates, every update can last at least two or three years it just a little differences.

Everything I read about it on netbooks has been really good. I'm going to do the update sometime this week or this weekend. I'll let you know what I think.

I've gotten several free minor updates so far, and I assume that 8.1 will be just another update. Updates are not the same as upgrades, which usually are not free.

hi, were you able to update it? did you need that in a way to use it? (im asking as Im trying to define if I should or not get this unit...) thanks!

I don't think there is a time frame. They always just notify me via email when there is a patch or upgrade at no charge

The TTS update is not currently being offered. Just spoke with customer support ( 11-9-15 ) and was told that there are too many issues with the update and for now it is not being offered.I was told that they would contact me when it is available ( or for me to call and see ). I do not know if this upgrade needs to be done within the first 90 days after purchase and if if does whether some allowances will be made.

Good Question, I haven't had the opportunity to test it out. I'm not sure if the file type will be support. I'll test it and send out an update. Bobby

Return it, this is known to have tons of problems and no updates. I had the same issues and so have tons of other people.

Only if you purchased the unit within the past few months. I think it's 6 months but I could be wrong. I was able to get a free update past the deadline the first year, but not now. It bites. Updates should be free since there is so much misinformation in the originial unit I had.

Yes, I believe that's the last official upgrade it got (4.1.2). It should come as an over the air update.

Connect on to itune and it will automatically update it. Or go into Best Buy and pay a fee for them to update it for you.

You just update it. On the home screen (?), you can just click update and restart or update and shut off.

Mine updated within a few days as well. All I did was check for updates and it automatically downloaded the update and all I had to do was click it to install. Oh, and yes it was free.

I just called Garmin. The person who answered the phone said that if you get a unit with V8 mapping data you will be sent a free update when they become available at the end of July 2007 [or maybe early August]. To get the free update, don't order it through ordinary channels. Call customer support and talk to a person. He reassured me that it won't matter who I happen to talk to when I call back; this is the new policy. It tool me 10 minutes to get through at 10:40AM PDT. As soon as they announce the update, at which point the rumor of the new policy will have spread far and wide, i'm sure wait times will increase, but there's a finite number of units covered so it'll settle down if you wait a week or so. They also told me to expect substantial improvements in the map data and POI data of V2008 over V8. This last statement, of course, should be taken with a grain of salt. -dk
