well some body predicted sept 21 here, and I also seen it predicted about a month ago on another web site, well that's tomorrow we shall see if the shamans are correct lol.
Isn't the current map (2017.20) our first and only update in 2016?
Soooooooooo, if the above is correct, then the next update could be the last for this calendar year based on the same intervals ....right?
...already this year. There was one in January and the second was in the late May-early June time frame. But I do look for Garmin to go to a 3 times a year release schedule.

Thanks, looks like I missed/forgot the January one then. But it's still clear that their schedule is changed. Based on my limited usage, I don't see a problem with this. I would guess that a few others may find this inconvenient. Changes to maps, POI's and JVC views have to be performed sometime

The Garmin maps are so out of date compared to Google Maps, that by the time they get around to releasing 2017.30.... the information is already 9 months old. But at least the mountains have not moved. Wish they would update the driving units like the aircraft ones- every 28 days. Still waiting on 2017.30.

I guess they will as soon, as we will pay for those maps like for aviation maps There is always some price to pay for free products as map update

I said awhile back that Garmin needs to publish maps MORE, not less, in order to keep up with Google. If the cycle is really 3 maps per year, that means it will take *longer* for changes on the map to show up since there's an additional lag on releasing.
And while I agree Google maps are more up to date, I have seen many, many instances where they are sloppy and incomplete compared to HERE's maps.
I heard a rumor Garmin will be introducing a new series of units that provide maps and directions as a service. There will be two basic models, one that uses the data from your smart phone and one that has a cellular modem installed you can connect to the carrier of your choice. All maps and directions will be provided through your direct connection to Google maps. The units will cost $65 and $25 per month with a 2 year commitment or retail for $799 for the one with the built-in modem and $499 for the one linking directly through your personal smartphone. Lifetime maps will be done away with because of the new systems. Traffic is provided by Google as well. You will also be able to link your Pay Pal account and have a link directly to Amazon for music and audio books. First units will ship this spring on or about April first.

ive been looking at some shady web sites for 2017.30 on anything so far nothing U.S. or else ware garmin is being awful quiet about map updates !
Back a couple of years or more ago, some of the shady sites you are probably talking about made available downloads of map updates a couple of weeks before Garmin officially released them. I'm not sure how this occurred but my guess is that Garmin released the map updates early to beta testers that somehow made their way to the torrent sites.
Us old folks here remember the days when the Nuvi 350 came out where we got ONE update a year and had to pay for it. Three or Four time a year for free is worth the wait.

Also still waiting but glad I figured out cable issue
One of my mini-USB cables, the only one I had with a Garmin logo, decided to stop working intermittently. I couldn't figure out why my zumo was refusing to stay connected to our main pc. Fortunately, I decided to check if it was the cable by using my daughter's Barbie doll charger/sync (it has a cheap camera in it) cable.

Maybe tomorrow.

About a year ago, Garmin quietly changed their description for lifetime maps from "up to four" updates per year to "up to three" ...
Yes, I know.
It remains to be seen if they are now moving from 3 to 2.
Better to have two solid updates, than 3 or 4 half-baked ones.

My new prediction
Since I missed Sept 21st as the release date, my crystal ball now is showing that on Oct 21 we can expect the new map release.
My Next Guess
