Yes, I believe everyone interested (myself included) finds out from the forums first.

Garmin e-mails

The only email I've ever gotten from Garmin is a thank you for registering on their website for updates. BUT, I never get any update notifications.

I got an email too

I got an email today about the new map too.

I wonder if they wait a bit before sending it out so they don't get overwhelmed with download requests.

Are you also...

I just checked my "Manage

I just checked my "Manage Email Notifications" settings. I have the following checked:

- Announcements about Automotive Products
- Please notify me by email of future map and software updates

There have been at least 3 software/map updates since the day I registered my Nuvi 760 in Jan 2009 and several new Automotive products but I receive 0 email from Garmin.

You must be special.

Nobody Special

I also got an email today. I'm sure they are trying to balance out server load that must be enormous when everyone tries to download 2+GB at once. If you didn't get an email, better check your settings at Garmin. Otherwise you may miss an important email from them.

Didn't you read my reply right above yours? I think those settings are ignored. I receive 0 email from Garmin since January 2009.

I got my email today, as well.

Well, I Stand Corrected

I also got my email tonight telling me to download my nuMaps... which I did 2 weeks ago after reading about them HERE. wink

Oops!

I did forget to register for the updates, but 15 minutes after doing so, I got the email saying new updates were available. Let's see what the next update does...

I got the same email

Downloaded and am installing now. This update is slightly different, it also installs an updated set of maps on your pc, usable with Mapsource.

I got email today as well.

I got email today as well. But downloaded and installed well before this email.

Nope

I didn't get any emails either and I'm signed up for two lifetime map subs.

I'm sure I have signed up for every possible email I could sign up for with Garmin, and I can only remember receiving one in all the years I have owned Garmins.

Thank goodness for all the "on the Ball" people here and on other forums.... that's where I usually learn about any sort of updates.

NuMaps E-Mail

Hi, I just wanted to say, that I have been on Garmins, list for quite awhile, and I have never been sent a E-Mail about getting a download! Maybe some day, I hope.

Update Notifications

I have a lifetime subscription for updates and I have checked off the email notification in My Garmin. But I have not received any announcement sabout the upgrades.

However, I also downloaded the last two upgrades after it was announced on this site. Probably within a few hours of the files being available.

My guess is that Garmin generates bulk emails based on who HAS NOT downloaded the update by a certain period. Perhaps we are just too quick for Garmin. laugh out loud

I doubt that as I'm the one who posted that the update (2010.30) was available well before it was announced by Garmin or on any other forums that I know of.
I downloaded the update that same day and installed it then as well.

And yes, I do still get the update emails.

Updated Maps

Can you tell if there actually were any changes? Any way to check size of files? When I last updated, the same road(s) were still missing and they've been here for years.

Email received

I received an email from Garmin stating that there were new map updates. However the email did not state what version of the map update. I found out once I went to the site that it was the updates I had downloaded a few weeks ago.

Go to:

https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?pID=1456&pvID=30132&ra=t...

Click on the View Map tab, this will give you a clickable map. Click somewhere on the map of North America and a new pane will open up that says it is 2010.30. You can continued to click to center and zoom into Chicago (assuming that's where you want to check) and drill down to the street level maps, then pan around to find the area you want to check out. You will also see the POI when you are zoomed in close enough.
