My Mother has a Garmin SATNAV + wants to update it?

Question

I've looked everywhere on the net + only managed to download stuff onto my PC.. I'm normally quite clued up, but it's not been simple this time + I have no idea what I'm doing. I've found some sites that ask for around £70 for an update.. But I'm sure there's probably a free way around this? There is with most things. It's just my Mothers SATNAV isn't picking up alot of new roads.. It really needs updating. Does anyone know where I can find free updates? Or do I have to pay?

Answer 1

Unfortunately, you have to pay, Alexandra.  Some map data sources can be converted to a Garmin-friendly format, which takes some work.  On top of that the converted map data cannot be used for routing.  It is easiest to just buy the maps.

Answer 2

you proboly have to pay and also your best bet is going to halfords or something else like them hope you get it done
