Folks get ready, City Navigator 2014.10 North America

I tried and no such luck yet.

Getting there, we are on page 2 already.

but with 8 of these, and the ones I bought for my daughters, I have a lot of work when this time rolls around!!

finding out that with the ever increasing space needed for just North America, you need an SD card? Even on my 765, Garmin Express said that I would soon be running out of space, and the purchase of an 8GB SD card might not be an unwise investment.

Freddy!

Got it downloaded

Got what downloaded?

I just downloaded the last map only 3 weeks. How much could have changed?

Here before I go to Louisiana in 2 weeks.

Thank you....

Deleted.

Maybe the Bridge to Nowhere actually goes somewhere now? Nah!

Thanks for the info

Thanks for the info!

Navteq supplies data to both Garmin & MapQuest so have a look at the latter to see the latest changes.

I have the 430N (via uConnect) in my 2013 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. Updates, when available for this unit, are nearly $150 each time and that's not very often. Plus I know of no way to add POI's. If you like POI's and redlight/speed camera alerts, keep your portable Garmin updated, especially if you have a life time update package.

I'm not sure if the Native Americans made maps back then....

Second page alright. Going for three??

That's the aggravating part of built in GPS, and the reason I've always passed on them. You literally pay 10-20 times the price of a standalone unit, and you're at the manufacturers mercy. Other than a larger screen I don't see much of a compelling reason for a built in. If they'd unlock it that would be a different matter. No custom POI's is so 1990's.

Thanks for the info.

Thanks and hopefully the maps will be a little more Accurate!

It's the same way with Ford factory GPS. (I'm not really sure who makes them) I have a 2007 Lincoln and the built-in Nav is really a fantastic unit: excellent display and one of best voices I have ever heard in any GPS: realistic and FRIENDLY! BUT: a map update is over $100 via CD-only. Absolutely ridiculous and I don't know anyone who has ever paid this and updated their system.

Thanks for the update! Looking forward to new roads being added.

Helping get it to page three

Page 3 yet?

Just like the last release........several pages of unnecessary posts about an upcoming release. Waste of time!

Will check back soon.

I can feel the excitement building, LOL

It seems to me the updates are coming more frequently....or....maybe it's just my imagination. I'm usually at least one behind it seems like....hate sitting down and going through the mechanics of the change.....but I still do!

One Time Map update for my 11 Ford Escape is close to $200 "With Free Shipping"

I replied that I have Lifetime Update for my 660 and it was $60 or such years ago... Told them to inform me when they'd match the price and product life.

I have a program on my PC that is called Mapinsall. Is this the program to install the new map when it is out?

Thanks.

The program I use to update the maps on my 3790lmt as well as the computer to use it in MapSource and BaseCamp is the 4,588kb GarminMapUpdater.exe which is downloadable from Garmin and the download link for it is in an earlier post.

I wish they still updated mapsource, I thought I was the only one that used it.

... hope I can install it before my road trip in three weeks ...

it's the dog's fault

MapInstall is a program that can be used to install all or parts from a map on your computer to your Garmin device.

It's best use is when your map update proceeds to install less than the entire map (i.e., the update installs the Lower 48 states of City Navigator North America.) MapInstall is a great way to add Canada, Alaska, etc. to your nuvi.

MapInstall does require the full map to be on your computer before it's of much use. Also, MapInstall does not install features like Junction View, Voice Recognition, etc. so again it's not the ideal way to update a map to your Garmin device. It does have its uses though. MapInstall is in its glory when installing some non-Garmin maps to your nuvi; i.e., a topo map from GPSFileDepot or the like.

As others have said, GarminMapUpdater is preferred by many folks here; Garmin Express may take 2nd place; and if you still have the obsolete LifetimeUpdater on your computer, it's probably the 3rd choice for updating Garmin devices.

Darn, I had told myself that I wasn't going to post in this thread pushing it towards "Page 3" status. Oh well...at least I'm still part of p.2

All backed up and waiting to update.

It sounds like they're giiging the people that don't by releasing more updates to get more money.

Would that be the same 4 updates a year that they have released since January 2009?

I just can't wait. Well, I guess I'm going to have to...

Thanks for the heads up

You are hereby behind me in line.

Let's see, will my post flip this thread to page 3?

Hopefully the new roads in my area will be on it~~

are we on page three yet?

Nope

I will waiting for the new map.

Lets hope they have fixed the Routing algorithims.

I have discovered that where (on the route) that I hit the "Go" button determines how it routes me. That's not good. It should always create the "Quickest" route whenever I hit the button when "Quickest" route is selected in setup.

Very soon, in a couple of days

Will be waiting patiently
