Pay Once - Update For Lifetime of the unit

If you are a Garmin user you can now instead of paying for an update every year purchase a nüMaps Lifetime subscription that enables you to download the latest map detail (streets, highways and points of interest) available. This one-time, single purchase gives you access to the newest map detail for the lifetime of your device.

A new update should be available as often as every three months.

The updates are made available on Garmin's website for one compatible Garmin product until your product's useful life expires. The updates you receive under the subscription will update the same maps that were originally preloaded on your Garmin product when purchased.

Garmin won't allow your subscription to be transferred to another person or another Garmin product.

How can you buy it
You can buy from us. We sell the lifetime updates subscription card for € 110 incl. VAT and postage. You will receive the activation card from us in the post.

How will it work
When you want to update your maps, visit Garmin website ( www.garmin.com ), connect your device to your computer via USB cable and log into your myGarmin account. If the latest map data is available it will be ready to load to your device.

In some instances, your Garmin product might not have sufficient memory to load an update to the same map data originally preloaded in which case you will need to select reduced map data coverage for your updates. Or add a suitable SD card.

You can sign up for an email notification if you want Garmin to email you when the newest data is available.

Garmin gives you an option to check the latest map detail before you purchase and download the update. Click here to launch an interactive map viewer. Pan and zoom to see detailed roads and points of interest.
