Garmin Zumo GPS Lifetime Maps Information (Please Read)
Some of Garmins Zumo GPS's that came with your Spyder may not have the free lifetime maps included, (it is supposed to), If yours does not have the free lifetime maps, you can call Garmin at 1-800 800-1020 and they will send you a card with a serial # on it to activate a Lifetime Maps update for your unit. Apparently when Garmin sets these up for BRP sometime the serial # does not get into the Free Maps Division. This is what has happened to my Zumo and Garmin is sending me a new card at this time.
When you call be sure to have your serial # handy.

That's a good "Heads UP", Joe. Thank you.
My 2013 RTL came with a Zumo 660, and I don't know if it's supposed to come with the lifetime map feature, but it has it now. I'm on Garmin's email list and every once and a while (especially around the Holidays) they will sell LM subscriptions at half price. I bought one for my zumo in 2013. Can't remember what I paid, but I do remember thinking that it was a very reasonable cost at half price. Never knew that BRP Garmin units are supposed to have them included.

Just bought my 13 RTL in May and didn't know. Paid for the lifetime updates. Always a day late and a dollar short.

There is some confusion here and I added to it. Cruzr Joe did not say what kind of Zumo GPS he had but since his ride is a 2015 so it will be a Zumo 590LM. So what he said specifically about his 590LM would apply. The confusion came and I added to when we assumed he was talking about the Zumo 660 models as well.

on garmin Express, mine registers as a Zumo 590 (no LM), Under the Battery it says 590LM. Garmin is sending me a lifetime map update serial #.
Technically all Zumos are supposed to have lifetime map upgrades, according to the tech i spoke to at Garmin.

Both of our 2012 LTD's with the Zumo 660's were sold to us by the sales rep, stating they had lifetime map updates.
When I went to update one of them in 2013 I was told 'no way' and I was charged $90 for the update.
Our Zumos show '660NA' as the model under the battery. Guess that must stand for 'not available' but I think it means 'North America'.

Yes, it checks for all updates, for Express, Zumo 590 software and maps.

otherwise be a vulgar brawl.

I just rang off with Garmin after reading Papa's update note and finding that Garmin wanted to charge me for 2016.10, just like Joe's problem. The Garmin rep said there was some kind of a problem with my account that it had dropped the LM and would not let the tech update the account. They're overnighting me some kind of corrective information to follow to get things right.
Another reason to participate in this great gang -- fast solutions to problems. Thanks for starting the thread, Joe.

Just tried to update my 590LM and it would not update. I called and they created a ticket for the issue. They tell me that the device is LM but the LM is dropped so it will not update. I am waiting for resolution

Everyone needs to check theirs so they can get it worked out.

I recently purchased and had my GPS 590 installed (7/15/2015), I checked my product information and it does state that I have life-time mapping but I will check just to make sure. Thanks for this information.

I recently had my GPS Installed (7/15/2015) on my RTS 2015 does this apply too those as well. I read the product card and the box both state that I have lifetime mapping. So I hope I am covered but I will check to make sure.
Thanks for this post.

Not sure if this still works, but IF you find that the LM has dropped from your account, REREGISTER the unit.
It worked for me, but that was a couple of years back!
Good Luck
