Please Read if Thinking About Purchasing New Maps

Here is an unconfirmed post from another forum concerning Garmin's nuMaps program:

Garmin realized that with their current yearly map update schedule it wasn't very interesting, so in parallel they are working on a new map update program that will allow users to download updates on a quarterly basis. Full details are not known at this point but it seems that program will cover the life of the device, so it should be at least on par with Navigon's FreshMaps "best in class" map update program today.

Full details should be known on October 14th, the launch date of nüMaps.

So if you are considering purchasing new maps, you may want to hold off until Garmin makes an official announcement in October.
