Does anyone have any information on new maps from Garmin? Do they update them once a year?

Garmin update the maps once a year usually around the end of the year. New devices seem to get the maps first with upgrades for existing owners being available towards the end of the year / beginning of next year.

I am looking to upgrade my trusty i3 with a Nuvi 250 or 255.

Does this mean that if I purchase the unit after 15th October I will be eligible for a free map update?

And Garmin also (reportedly) announced at the Paris Car Show that they are going to quarterly updates as well as a Lifetime Map Update Service for a one-time charge.

Linked to Autocom by bluetooth and all seems good.
Traffic reception in the central belt of Scotland and hurray NW England seems to be working again. Still a million times better than the Quest 2 it replaces

Via download, altho a DVD may be available for shipping charge. The reported price was $119 US. Details should be formally announced with 10 days
