Garmin's website down for maintenance

 

I just went there to check and see if I have a mapping update since it's May 1st.

Well, the website is down for maintenance! Hope they fix their issues on the website and put something up there for the new maps.

I had noticed some funky

I had noticed some funky things earlier such as the MyGarmin portion of the web site didn't have my GPSr registered. Now I see that the site is back up with a slightly different inteface or my account. Still, it says that there is no map update for my Nuvi760 purchased Mar 6, 08.

it's up and now it shows

it's up and now it shows that there is a 2009 map update but only for purchase! What the hell, I thought when i called them they said i would qualify for the free update! I just registered mine on April 4th!

for a price

You get a free upgrade download. If you want a disk they charge you $10.00.

They are starting to fail on new unit support a bit. There support for their units on the whole is still top notch.
