does this have the 2013 map updates

I am using the 2013 version. It updates the road conditions each time I use it on "Road Planning." I have used previous versions of 2000, 2006 and 2009. I am using the 2013 version on the desk top and the 2013 version with the GPS receiver on the laptop.

I found that the 3rd party maps ordered at a greatly discounted price does not allow for updates of maps. I guess if it came with the maps preloaded you would get the lifetime updates (LM). I currently have the European maps and get the updates. Did you purchase the unit with LM designated behind model number?

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 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.

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.

That's fine. I probably won't update it that often. Just as long as I can update it if I need to (I got the impression - right or wrong - that you need to buy a new receiver to get updated maps).

It tells me that I didn't update with 90 days and therefore have to purchase maps. too expensive, might has well buy a new one

Yes and no. I received an email for the latest maps and they (all in one file for N. America) came on a CD for only $7 shipping. It is a strong update. You can also download maps of Europe, etc. right through the excellent TomTom Home software. It is simple to install the data onto one or more SD cards. You have to keep careful track of your serial number (it's not hard to find on the unit) to install updates, since they only work with your particular unit, as a way to prevent piracy. Customer service is very friendly and helpful, though if you have any problems.

Mine has free map upgrades for life, not sure if that is what you are asking though.

The last software upgrade for this model on Magellan's website is from 2010. The last map update I could find was from Dec 2007 (see http://gpsinformation.net/allory/magfeat.htm#rm3000). So yeah, I would say that the gps upgrades on both map and software sides are obsolete (4+ yrs old)

No, and so far no Map updates available.Get yourself a waterproof case for the Garmin, I stopped using this and put my Garmin in a case.

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

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.

My husband says the maps are dated and it does not have the lifetime maps like garmin... He has been happy with this unit for the most part...

No but you can purchase map upgrades ONE TIME from Garmin that are good for the life of the Unit. It does come with lifetime traffic though.
