did anyone get the refurbished one ? I'm curious if it comes with original packaging and what year the maps are ?

I'm sorry, I can't help you with this one. I purchased a new unit but can tell you that all of the user information and map updates are readily available on the Garmin internet site.

I just received a nuvi 360 that I had ordered July 2. It shipped from Lex. KY and came with the 2008 map software. Totally cool, especially the blue tooth connectivity. It is compatible with my Mac right out of the box too. dik

It included lifetime maps when new. I don't know if that would transfer if the unit were sold to someone who tried to re-register it. The map updates come 4 times per year and need to be done with the gps hooked up to an internet connected computer.

Hello,we'd like to inform you that the GPS is pre-installed US Maps well as it's sold on Amazon.com. If you need the 3 countries maps,we will send you the links and tell you how to install them well when you get the GPS,thanks for your attention.

No, it does not. I can't even update the maps either. I guess it's too old. I may try hooking it up to the software this weekend to give it another try. I hadn't tried for quite a few months.

Yes. I found no difference in the packaging between the refurbished and new.

Make sure you are also getting the memory disk with the maps. The one I bought did not. I used the one from my 800. That could be part of the cost differential.

No manual comes with the refurb unit. As the previous reply says, you can download online.

I just bought the Garmin 255 and found out it has no maps downloaded.I thought it would be ready to go out of the box.It was a re-furbished unit,but I was under the impression it had everything ready for business.Was I wrong in my assumption?silverado_03

Hi John. I'd check with Lowrance on this as several things are question marks. geofencing is one issue. So are the maps. If the unit is being sold from the U.S. (new or used) it probably has the North American maps and that does you no good. If it's new from an Australian dealer you'll want to verify that it has the correct maps, not the U.S. default.

It came brand new to me. I've been using it for a while now. I didn't notice it to be refurbished.

I have a life time map upgrade so my maps are current to the last update, 2014 I believe. Note that the memory limitation of 2 GB does not allow me to put the entire map data base in the unit at once. I need to segment it, but this is easy to do with Garmin's Express loader. Yes, my unit came new with the mount and charger. Good luck.

Have to agree with comments regarding refurb units. Buyer beware however that the maps will almost never be the newest available and my units maps were three updates old. The cost to buy the new maps would have meant the refurb unit + map upgrade would be same price as a new unit. Mmmmm. Aside from that annoyance and the refusal of TomTom to allow a free upgrade to new maps, the unit looks good as a new one.

Thank you. Sounds good. Now I want to find it in combo with the NuMaps Lifetime. Nuvi combo have the NuMaps Lifetime for $50 extra, but I can't find this with a combo yet.----------------Garmin said the one with lifetime update for maps (3790LMT) would be out in September, keep checking their website. Said the cost was $499.99. I hate to spend that money, but am getting the voice activated one for safety reasons. Said it was shipped to Best Buy, but I can find it only in Canada...

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.

Good Eveining,The GPS is normally the current maps of USA and CANADA. I would assume that they would be the up to date ones. For the updates you would probably have to speak with the manufacturer. Unfortunately the cost is your decision. There are pros and cons for GPS so i would just think about if it is worth it to you financially.Thank you.
