[QUOTE="El Toro, post: 1280639, member: 14779"] I've sort of decided that the lifetime maps deal with Garmin is good for maybe a year or so of updates, afterwhich there are always problems. I've had quite a few of them, dating back to 2007 when Moto Guzzi was going to bundle the Zumo 550 onto the Norge. Admittedly I had more fun with my Zumo 550 than I had with the Norge. I've had several of the their "car" units, but I had the BMW Nav IV bundled with my K1600 ... and again, I had more fun with the Nav IV than with the K16 ... but not as much fun as I would have liked. Nowadays I have a remnant of Garmin on my laptop. It tells me every day that updates are available. And the unit out in the truck tells me about once a month that updates are available. But never the twain shall meet. On the bright side, as aggravating as Garmin can be, they've got nuthin' on Toyota's GPS. That's the worst system I've ever experienced. For Christmas one of the kids gave me some new paper maps. Ahhhhhh .... sheer bliss...... [/QUOTE]
