I had an older nuvi gps that was not getting updates. I had to reinstall my Garmin express software and it looked like mine was very old. After that it started to get map updates again. You may simply try to uninstall Garmin express and reinstall it if its a older version of the map software installer. Hope that help!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The nüMaps subscription that came bundled with your device, allows it to receive map data updates when and as such updates are made available on Garmin.com during the useful life of 1 compatible Garmin product or as long as Garmin receives map data from a third party supplier, whichever is shorter. A product’s “useful life” means the period during which the product (a) has sufficient memory capacity and other required technical capabilities to utilize current map data and (b) is capable of operating as intended without major repairs. A product will be deemed to be out of service and its useful life to be ended if no updates have been downloaded for such product for a period of 24 months or more.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I am sorry I cannot answer your question. The GPS is a Christmas gift to my daughter, and as Christmas has not arrived, she has not opened her present. Have a Merry Christmas.
