When do map updates become available for this unit? Currently, this unit does not see the street that I live on. My subdivision was built in 2004 and I am unable to set the home function.

Updates are not available for the Pioneer AVIC-X920BT yet. I was actually wondering when they might become available for that unit.

I order it for my frend . It is not mine. But i have seen only USA and Canada maps. I dont know if it is posible to use it anywhere else. Or may be update maps.

I used it traveling from Germany to France just last december. Coming back to Germany i realized some major roads where outdated, it was as easy as hooking up the tomtom to my mac, create a username on the lifetime update for my unit and there, updated maps for free!!! Beware that they are quite heavy updates, so depending on your connection speed it may take a while. Feb 24, 2014 by joshzaid

Should you receive a unit with the older maps:Several of us who received the older v. 8 maps have been promised the new v. 2008 maps at no charge when the DVD is available. Can't promise, but Garmin was very nice to me about getting the map updates. I contacted techsupp, but others have also contacted product support with success. Hopefully Garmin has changed their policy to provide the map updates for free now, if you've purchased since the new version started shipping.

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.

I don't know. I've updated streets that never show up in the updates, plus updated streets that don't exist that never get corrected.

go to the gps find inf and look for 2008 version if sucessful it will show up there. I felt the same way you do and by using these updates in NC and SC I have not seen any updates. So you probably were sucessful as I was in two cases first getting the updates installed and two getting ripped off by Garmin see my rating and discussion. Good Luck.

Yes, you have to go to the website to update. Im not sure about map updates but you can find whatever you want to know on the website.

I ordered mine yesterday from Amazon, (249.29) got it today with free shiping! It does have the 2009 map. It came with 4.0 and it updated to 4.2 when I installed the Garmin Communicator. Not sure what this did for it, but it still does not recognize the new parts of our freeway, and my old 660 w/updated 2009 map does recognize the freeway. I just talked to Garmin, they say try it again tomorrow. They think it my have been some type of satellite allignment problem.

Nope. And good luck getting updates. Mine would miss several 20 minute waypoints in a row. I was in a helicopter with this on my lower leg in a pocket against the plexiglass. Can't get much close to an in obstructed view of the sky than that. And the charge more do the service than the unit itself costs. I am still,paying on the 1 year subscriton in spite or returning the unit.

yes, update only in software and other features such as voice. Not Road maps. To have Road maps update need to purchase online $80 or less on lifetime update.

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

Thank you so much for the post on the "hard reset". I recently updated my maps and when next I used it I saw the No Maps and the No Data message. Your hard reset worked perfectly--on the second try--it was comforting to see that question come up and know how to answer it. I didn't have any addresses that were essential so all is well. You are a life saver!!!!

Hi Kwilt. Fellow Cheesehead here (Waukesha). Very glad to see 2009 map version shipping with these. Saves me time and hassle. Guess I should have left mine at 'free shipping' instead of next day :-)I'm interested in the SW version that comes with it. Is it 4.5 or something else? Thanks!Mike D
