|
|
I've just purchased a 1690 and have the option to download a free map update until september. When do Garmin usually release map updates? I'd hate to update the maps now and then find they offer a new update a few weeks later. |

Doesn't matter, Garmins current policy is that ANY map update released in the 90 days since registration will be available to you for download |

Ok thanks. I thought you could only update once. So I can update as many times as possible within the ninety days. |

NO NO NO - YOU ONLY HAVE 60 DAYS - which is about to expire! |

Why do you say that, inspiredron?
I just went to the UK Garmin website and on the second page I clicked on it says this, right at the top:

WHOOPS - I was sure that it was 60 days and did not check! Has it changed recently? |

Yes you're right, it used to be 60 days.
Not sure how long ago the change was.
