new maps for this year????

 

I was wondering if anyone knows when the new maps for this year will be released?? I saw that Best Buy has the 255wt for $199 and am thinking of picking one up but would like to know when the new maps come out so i know i would still be within the 60 day free upgrade timefrime. Thanks

the 2009 maps

Were out in 2008.

Search the forum for discussion on the 2010 version of maps that's been out a little while, and much discussed here. smile

The Garmin map updates are released quarterly. The numbering system is (typically) changed annually with the spring quarter update.

So the next one would be in September?

Should be July. 2010.1 was out this past April.

To load?

I've not loaded a new map yet, what is the process like. Connect to Garmin and download a file? How long does it take? Seems like it would be a huge file.

Does anyone know when

Does anyone know when magellan map will be available?

The entire process (downloading the file, extracting it, and installing it to the unit) will take several hours depending upon the speed of your internet connection and your computer.

Hour and a half (or so)

If you have a broadband connection it may take a half hour or so to download the map from Garmin (what it took me) but then it's roughly an hour to upload it from your computer to the GPS. The good news is you can set and forget. There's no prompting for input during either process. Result, even with a pokey connection you can download while you're sleeping overnight and the file will be waiting for you to upload while you're having breakfast (or whatever) in the morning.
