Welcome to JustAnswer.com

My name is XXXXX XXXXX X am here to help!

Below is the complete process to update the Nuvi. If you run into any issues, please send me a reply and wait to rate the service until we rectify the issue.


You must connect your Nuvi to your computer first.. Then next, go to the link below

http://www8.garmin.com/support/lifetime_updater.html

click the blue download box to download the map updater program.. Then next, once the program has been saved.. Make sure to run the program to install it..

Once installed, run the map update program.. It should then find your nuvi device, and allow you to update the maps for free ( if you have a numpas subscription)

If you dont have a numaps subscription, it will allow you to purchase a one time update, or a lifetime subscription.

let me know if you run into any issues updating your maps.. ( or installing or running the update software)


Please remember to rate the effectiveness of the answer given before you go, as thats the only way it shows whether or not I was able to help you. Remember that in some cases you cant always repair or solve the issue, and in those cases getting a correct answer to your question is the best solution possible. If you feel like leaving a one or two star rating please contact me first so I can try and resolve the issue in a more effective manner.


Thanks, D.Sandlin
