Although the upgrade was what was advertised it was very little for the amount paid. For what is being charged for upgrades you can buy a new GPS every couple of years and forego the upgrades. With that said very easy installation and the instructions were spot on. Good job on the technical stuff and ease of installation. Just too damned expensive for what you got.
Great but.........
The maps are very detailed and they contain a plethora of POI's (Points of Interest). On very important point though any buyer should be aware of.
You can't download the maps contained on this Micro SD card to your Mapsource Software which pretty much makes the Mapsource software useless.
I contacted Garmin and the very friendly customer service rep. said that the Micro SD cards maps can't be downloaded off the card on to your PC. She recommended (as I would) that if you want to be able to view the maps on your PC and use the PC to map routes edit waypoints etc. buy the DVD's not the Micro SD. They are the same price.
Bottom-line. If you want to just pop the card in your GPS device and use it then this item is probably the way to go. If you want to do more especially with your PC then get the DVD instead. I wish I had known this before I ordered non returnable software.
