Garmin nüMaps Lifetime North America Maps $52.02

That is a phenomenal price. thanks for the info.

Guess the 750 will finally get an upgrade. (the maps on it now are years old... think most of the roads on it are acutally wagon trails leading West

Your nuvi 750 will be offered an installation of less than all of North America (you choose the region to exclude) or if you have a cheap little 4GB SD card, you can choose to auto-install all of North America to a SD card for use by the nuvi. I suggest getting the SD card:

The other option to consider is not spending the $52 on a map subscription for the 750, and go out and buy a newer model nuvi (with Lane Assist, Junction View, etc.) with lifetime maps which could run as little as $100 or so.

For what it's worth, the price of the mailed version of lifetime maps was briefly $42.96 in September 2011 before increasing by about $20 in October that year. About a year ago (March 2012) it was also around $52.

The price seems to go up in the summer and before Christmas.

Pretty good price for lifetime update, unless they quit supporting your particular model.

Thats not a bad deal.

The plan has always been to install the maps to a SD card. (BTW, thanks for posting the link. I knew I had seen that info somewhere, but couldn't recall where. )

Second option makes more sense and is probably more practicable. But, I love the 750, and the fact that it can play mp3 files. I already have a large collection of music and Old Time Radio files on a 4GB SD card in the 750 now. I am going to get a newer GPS with more bells and whistles than my 40LM in the next couple of months. But the old farts (the 750 and me } will never part and will ride together into the sunset.

And I thought $78 a few years ago was a bargain! I have upgraded faithfully at every update in order to get my money's worth. I just hope they keep supporting my 765T for several more years. I now need to use an SD card for the update and recently replaced my battery.

I haven't seen it that cheap in a long time. For those who haven't done it, you should. I just got back from Hawaii and visited all 4 islands. The GPS knew every road, even the back roads.

and thought that was low...Watch for below $50 before Christmas

Great price!

Very tempting for one of my older units...

Good to know, I still have one GPS without lifetime maps

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Yeah I am using my SD card for installs now too.

Good price on the maps...I just wish it did not take me so many hours to do an upgrade. I only do one a year now...though I consider my lifetime maps to have paid off.

Does anyone know just why it takes so long to download the maps? I know they are large, but 8 hours is ridiculous....

What speed internet do you have? Internet Provider? Cable/DSL/other?

One other thing is server load. When a new update comes out and more folks than usual are downloading, things may be slow on Garmin's end.

Agree. It's crazy how long it takes.

I've been waiting for this price to upgrade our back up unit a Nuvi 260. The unit is great, but for just a little more we can have a better feature set too...

$30 and it might be worth it for the 260. Unless that takes years more...
