Hello Bassam, I've been "battling" with NewerStone over this and voice navigation (which my unit doesn't seem to have) for several weeks now. If and when I get a response, I'll let you know. Since they advertise these 2 features on Amazon.com, I've notified Amazon of this matter. You might want to do this, as well.

I just bought 255w at Amazon but it shipped by another vendor and I just found out It did not have a new map version.How do I update the map(package did not have USB cable and where can I find the Usb cable) I thought If I buy it from Amazon web site all GPS should go with new map.I'm confuse.I need some experts to help me out. Thanks,

Lifetime map updates should still be working. The only thing I've read is that you should let it update the unit fully with the one free update (outside of the lifetime maps) and not put in the code for the lifetime map updates until later. It may have trouble if you put the code in right away.I have this model that I bought about a month and a half ago. Works great. No complaints.

I just received my Garmin 350 today from Amazon. It did not come with the latest maps but if you go to Garmin's website and and register the GPS you can get a free update to the maps. You will also want to update the firmware on the GPS to the latest firmware from Garmin.This can all be done easily from the Garmin website.

Go to garmin.com sign up for an account register your device. If you already have done that just sign in then click on the tab called my dashboard. From there it will instruct you on how to update the firmware/maps.

Possibly they don't allow updates. But you can buy new Micro SD cards with new maps in India.

Make sure you have the tollways option selected and if that doesn't do it then try updating maps again.Good luck.

I emailed Garmin about the 2009 map updates, and getting them free as well since you purchased one now with the obsolete maps on it. This is what they had to say. Thank you for contacting Garmin International. Our newest version of mapping software was released in May of 2007. The title of this update is City Navigator NT 2008. Map updates are released every 12 - 15 months. You can probably expect our next map update to be released sometime in the Summer of 2008. To check for this update please log onto our website www.garmin.com and click on "MAPS" at the top of the page. The next screen will show "MAP UPDATES", please click on it. This will allow you to type in your 'serial number' in the search field. Type in your serial number and click on 'Find'. This will display your mapping update if there is one to order. If nothing displays this will indicate that your Garmin is already fully up to date. If a map update displays you will also notice there is a link that should allow you to register your product to receive this at no cost. If this is an option your first mapping update will be at no charge. ** Keep in mind for the future, map updates are at a cost. ** Map update can be ordered online from our website www.garmin.com, over the phone at 1.800.800.1020, or in local retail store like Best Buy, Circuit City, Wal-Mart etc. The cost for this update is generally around $75.00 to order. This will be a DVD formatted software disk that will be able to load to your computer. You will need a USB cable to connect your Garmin to the computer for the update to complete. This process is said to take around 45 minutes. This update will give your Garmin device updates on streets, highways, construction, restaurants etc. Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns regarding this update

I updated the maps once after purchasing the device as new version of the maps were available. Did not encounter any restriction on the no. of times I could do that. Also the documentation says that it is free for the 'usable' life of the device i.e. until the device can support the newer versions of the map either in the sense of its capability or storage space.

Download the software from the Garmin. It should automatically see your GPS and download what you need for an update.

Yes, I believe so but it cost money to do so. There is a little memory card which the maps are loaded on and if you needed to you could purchase the updated maps from online.. Although I never had to because the maps is relatively up to date at least in my area

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

As far as I can tell, the maps are current. You get regular updates after you register your GPS (just log in with it connected to your computer).

The bigest differene is you can update your own maps. For a fee, you can upgrade your current maps. I didn;t think the older models had voice quidance. I think you need a $125 cable for the real time traffic data.
