Garmin nüMaps Lifetime

Model Number: Nuvi 255W
"This was for my older Garmin which was working fine so for the price it was a no brainer and cheaper than buying from Garmin site. Shipping was fast, installation was flawless. The only knock would be it erased my saved data."

Garmin nüMaps Lifetime™ North America Review

"I would say for the price you cannot beat what you get. I updated my GPS without issue. The only thing I could find at fault is it took a couple of hours to download and update. Other than that good purchase as you get 4 updates per year for the lifetime of you owning your GPS."

Not really that updated

"I bought this as my previous map was supposedly outdated. Since i use the Garmin to search for restaurants, gas stations, and other stores when I am away from my area I wanted to have the latest map version. The uploading was rather easy, it takes like one hour. Now I have the latest maps but my garmin is still missing new grocery stores and still showing demolished gas stations, exactly like before the upgrade. I am not sure why I paid for this upgrade."

Pros: easy to download (took about 1 hr.), fast delievery
Cons: some new streets are not on update.
Model Number: Garmin nuvi 760
"I'm on my 2nd Garmin Nuvi, currently using a 760. I wrestled with the idea of a map update vs a new GPS. This unit has performed flawlessly and has not had problems experienced by other models. It was well worth updating for streets and points of interest. I just returned from San Antonio, Texas and GPS and map update worked superb."

Definitely a Good Buy

Pros: great price
Cons: none
"If you own a Garmin Nuvi model this is a good deal. If there are any problems Garmin will make good on the product including sending a new product key. Any issues with the maps are with Garmin not Costco. The only problem that I have had is with the freeway exits around Pittsburg. They renumbered the exits and they have not been updated in the maps yet."

Worked Great!

"It took about two hours from start to finish with a high speed DSL line. Now I can receive updates up to four times a year for the rest of the life of my Garmin! The peace of mind was definitely worth the purchase price!"

Great Card, Not So Great Price!!

Pros: great maps
Cons: can find a better price
Model Number: Garmin Lifetime North America Maps
"Great card in all respects, however Costco doesn't have the best price on this item. Without mentioning other websites or businesses, a simple web search will get you a much better price."

Awesome Deal

Pros: lifetime
Cons: load time
Model Number: Nu maps Lifetime
"Awesome price and product. My Nuvi is a year and a half old and it could not send me to a job location so I was going to order the Lifetime Maps from Garmin but was told by a friend that Costco had them, and that was all it took. I ordered it and it arrived 5 days later. It does take a long time to download and that is a drag. Three hours to download, five minutes to prepare, and then fifty-five minutes to load into my Garmin. Long time so be prepared to walk away. Was worth it."

Works well

Pros: cheap
Cons: none
"I bought this for my NUVI 680 which is about two years old. There is a lot of freeway construction where I live and the maps had to be upgraded otherwise I would be sent to the wrong exit. the download porcess is confusing but one call to Garmin and the rep walked me through the whole process. I don't know what king of internet speeds other people have, but the dowload process took 1-1.5 hours. Even if NAVTEQ stops supplying map information, that won't happen for another 3.25 years. That is a gamble I'm willing to take for $85."

Inexpensive Way to Currency

Pros: huge data package, lots faster, not difficult
Cons: depends on a broadband connection, as good as it is it's not perfect
"Map updates add new roads and correct past errors. The map data is expansive and an amazing deal (given the constant work done to keep it accurate),
The more you travel, the more you can justify this expense. Also, when the time comes to upgrade to a new device, having this with the "old" one makes it that much more attractive to the new owner.
The update process was just updated itself and it's a lot faster. (Given the scope of the updates, they'll never be a quick, mindless sort of thing.)"

worth the effort

"The instructions that come with the product are non-existent. After a couple of unsuccessful tries, I called Garmin. The agent was extremely polite and helpful, not rushed, and willing to stay on the phone until the process was well under way. The end result was well worth the effort, has the needed updates for me. I'm really glad I did it!"

A must for the everyday Garmin user

"Own a nuvi 680 and have updated my maps twice in the last 7 months. It does take a while but have had no problems or issues with downloading or maps. Some new roads do take a while before you find them in an update, but you'll find that with any unit you buy. One suggestion is to plug your GPS into your computer and log into Garmin every 2 - 3 months to check for software updates and new map updates."

DO NOT LISTEN TO NAYSAYERS

Pros: correct maps, only $30 more than onetime
Cons: takes a bit of time
Model Number: NuMaps Lifetime
"The cost for "lifetime updates" $30 more than one update? Yes this clearly states that can only be used for ONE device. If maps are not correct then the odds are that Google maps, yahoo maps and mapquest are also wrong. The info comes from same place. Send feedback on one of these sights and help correct !!! I have a Nuvi 765T and a Nuvi 1490T both with lifetime updates and it works great and is fairly easy to use"

Update outdated

Cons: update not current, difficult and long download
Model Number: Nuvi 350
"I was hoping that this would realy update the maps but the only difference I noted was a change in the way the maps are displayed, which I like very much.
However, my daughter's address is not on the map nor are any of the streets in her development. It's in a major metropolitan area and she has lived there for over 3 years.
The download process was difficult. It took a VERY long time and there was never any indication as to when it was complete. I left it on overnight because I was afraid that I would screw it up if I disconnected before it was complete. It turned out to be OK."
