SOURCE: I have a garmin 200 sat nav how can i update it

Not hard to do at all, you have two choices for that. Although one is a long shot by now.

Your first choice is that you could register your Nuvi with Garmin if you haven't already and see if they'd still let you qualify for a free update. More than likely not, but it's worth a shot.

The second choice is to buy the map update and insert the DVD into your computer and let the Update Wizard walk you thru it. It's actually pretty simple, but I will warn you that you'll probably won't have enough space to do the update so you'll have to delete some files you don't need anymore. Click on this to find out how to do that...

Ijust purchased a garmin nuvi 465lmt it tells me to register the unit with serial # I have tried to do so why. ps does it auto update maps ?

It does not auto update the maps. You can find details of how to update your maps at http://www.fixya.com/support/r5628920-update_garmin_satnav_maps. Even with free lifetime maps you still have to click on GET UPDATE. The only difference between getting the lifetime maps and the maps you have to pay for is that when you click to get the update you're taken to the download page for the free maps and to the payments page if you have to pay. With the lmt version you won't have to pay.

I HAVE REGISTERED MY GARMIN NUVI 255w HOW DO I GET FREE UPDATED MAPS

Garmin give free map updates only if a new map comes out within 60 days of the first time your satnav accesses satellites. You can find details of how to update your maps at http://www.fixya.com/support/r5628920-update_garmin_satnav_maps The only difference in doing this for free updates and paid updates is that if you're entitled to a free update when you click on GET UPDATE you'll be taken to the download page. If you have to pay for it you'll be taken to the payments page.

I am trying to register my new Nuvi Garmin 1490T and get free map update. I have registered etc but am not getting the map updates required for brisbane etc.

The only time Garmin give a free map update is if a new map comes out within 60 days of your satnav first accessing satellites. To see if you are entitled to one at present go to www.garmin.com Click on the myGarmin tab at the top of the screen and log in. Click on the myMaps tab at the top of the page. Your map should be shown on this screen and also if there's a map update available. If there is an update available click on get update and follow the prompts. If it's free you won't be asked to pay. If it's not it will bring you to a screen where you'll be asked to put in your credit card details.

If there's no update available at the moment you may still be entitled to a free update when the next map update becomes available. There's usually an update in February which has not yet been released so keep an eye out for when it does.

You can find information on how to update your map at http://www.fixya.com/support/r5628920-update_garmin_satnav_maps

Bought a garmin sat nav and was told 2 register it 2 get updated maps! how do i register it?

Details on how to register and update your maps is at http://www.fixya.com/support/r5628920-update_garmin_satnav_maps.

If a new map comes out within 60 days of the first time you access satellites with your satnav you'll be entitled to the update free. Otherwise you'll have to pay for it.

How do i get the garmin nuvi 205 updates? i thought it was free but the garmin site are trying to charge me. if i have to pay where is the cheapest place to get the updates?

Hello.
You can try the nüMaps Guarantee. It will give you free map update for 60 days after registering your unit.
Check it out here.
Now, you can get map updates from Garmin only as there are no longer free maps except if offered.

Need new free updates for my garmin

Sorry you have to pay for them However if you have never registered it at garmin.com do it now. They often give you a map update for free if they think you are a new customer.

We just bought a new garmin GPS and i just wanted to ask if you have the new maps

Go to the Garmin website and register the GPS. It will check to see if you have the latest maps and if not, you will be able to update your unit. If you bought it from a retailer and it was just turned on for the first time, Garmin will give you any updates free for I think 60 days. If you bought it from a private party and it has been turned on in the past, Garmin will know this isn't a new unit and you will have to pay for the map update (about $75.00) You can't "fool" Garmin and get free updates unless the unit has never been powered up within the 60 days!
