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.

Do let us know what map version ships with your unit. FWIW, the price was $5 cheaper last week, then they raised it $8 this week, and subsequently lowered it $3. No clue..

I have been in contact with a guy in China who informed me today 8/5/14 that there was a $81 cost to get the map updates. However mine was shipped (about 3 weeks ago) and it has the latest maps) for my area. I live in Missouri.

Yes, it does. Basically, the Magellan company will release periodic map updates, you'll need to synch your device to your PC for the map update to take place using the software provided or web-based interface.

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.

The map are loaded on this unit. The maps are from 2010. I would recommend getting the life time updates for 100.00 bucks that way you will be up to date with road in the US. P.Hansen

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.

Yes to your question. However, I would not recommend the purchase. It has numerous problems and locks up and require rebutting and start it up again. Map updates are few and far between and currently, they have not updated the Content Manager (Program to down load Upgrades) to work with my current operating system on my computer. And do not know when they will have it corrected.

Yes you can and yes it does. TomTom also has a Map Plan with which you can update maps, I believe, each quarter/year. Nice little unit. Perfect for the price.

Hi Eddie.Maps are currently updated to the latest version (late 2013). I suspect newer ones coming out soon though. They are updated using a SD card. You can purchase new ones on pioneers website or download them (hint. Avic411.com usually posts them a few weeks after public release)Let me know if you have any other questions

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 Delete unessential voices (computer voices are larger), back up the old outdated map to your computer, delete the outdated map, download and install the new map.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.

so the map in it doesnt 'expire' forcing you to get a new map? i was under the impression it was like a subscription and after x amount of time the device didnt work any more til you got the new subscription..?

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 don't know if there is an update available. The unit I got performs just fine as received.
