If you registered within 60 days of first sat acquisition you should have gotten a free 2009 map update as long as the 2009 maps were available at that time. I got it with my 760.

I contacted Garmin Customer

I contacted Garmin Customer Support and they asked me to fax through proof of purchase and once they received that they added the NT2009 maps to my Garmin account and I could download and install them!

Happy Day!!

If you are not eligible for a free map update, you can purchase new maps at some B&M electronic chains. Or you can order online from tons of places. Shop around, they can be found cheaper than Garmin's asking price.

Also, keep in mind that most people don't update their maps every year. You may want to wait until 2009 to update.

Common problem

It's a fairly common problem. When you buy the nüvi and register it the site looks at the "first acquisition date" or whatever it's called. On many of these units it's a date quite a way in the past - long before you purchased the unit. It's bogus as heck. CALL Garmin and complain. I had the same problem and they just adjusted their database and the upgrade was suddenly available the next day.
