Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
A few years ago Garmin started selling GPSs with free "lifetime" database updates. A real knee slapper: "Lifetime" turned out to be the lifetime of the product as determined solely by Garmin.
I knew from the start that the 'free map updates' for my Garmin GPS was for the life of the product not my life. So far Garmin has not told me that my product is too old to be updated. I did have to install a micro SD card because the maps got to big for the devices internal memory.
Has Garmin actually told you that they won't update your device any longer?
