2009 map Source

 

After spending 30 minutes on the phone waiting for tech service to answer after explaining that I was having trouble with my disk loading to the nuvi 350 the tech said he would have to transfer me to a mac tech......Well I lost the connection and had to dial again and wait another 30 minutes.....the tech I talked to seemed knowledgable and took over the functions of my computer and attempted to change to software on my garmin because he said it was corrupted and there was a glitch in that version.....after spending 1 hour with him changing this and that the screen went white and the tech said oops it looks like you will have to send it back to us for a new one...He did not know if the new one would have the 2009 maps on it.....He did not think so.....I sure hope I don't have to go thru this same hassle if I have to try to load this disk to another gps......I also wonder if they are going to cover the 20 dollars it cost to ship it back to them......Beings it was their tech's fault that it broke...Any one out there have experience with returning things to garmin?????

Wow it took you $20 to ship

Wow it took you $20 to ship your device to Garmin. It only took me $5 using USPS. I don't think you will get your money back. Garmin will send the gps back to you with no shipping cost. Most of the people here said they had every good experience with Garmin's Customer service and they usually send you back a new gps. I just sent one in last week for repair and I'll see what happens for myself. If you do get a new one and it doesn't have the 2009 maps, you might be able to register the unit online and get a new unlock code for the new gps.

shipping cost

It was $49.00 for overnight and $19.00 for 2nd day air.....I could have shipped it ground but I don't get my new one shipped until they receive my broken one. So I opted for the cost because we are leaving on vacation next week and I need it....

It might be a close one. You

It might be a close one. You might not get it by next week. From the email from garmin it said after it reached their warehouse it'll take 10-14 days.
