They are usually released once per year. Go to: http://www.garmin.com/unlock/update.jsp for information on last update.
The City Navigator for your GPS was last updated in September. Garmin charges $75 or the upgrade. Especially in a new area, it takes time for the changes to appear. Some of the new roads might not show up on the next update, just like when you buy a new map atlas. I believe there is a way to check what is covered on new updates before purchasing.

multiple updates?
So to understand this completely, are you saying there will be multiple updates to Navigator V8, each of which would cost me $75? When would we expect a V9 to come out, i would hate to pay $75 then they release a complete new version 1 week later.

re: Multiple Updates.
No, I am talking about v9. Garmin releases a new version of the maps yearly, so the next version would be v9 @ a cost of $75.
