For those of us, who are still too new to these units... pps:
I assume that we've got to plug the USB cable into them, and tie them into our computers...
Then what? :dontknow:

Right. Open your "Garmin Express" software, and it'll check for the update and install it. Couldn't be easier!

You need to do it soon Bob. You only have 60 days from the first day you turn it on to get a free map update. It must be getting close by now.

Are you sure about that? Mine (2014 RTL) came with lifetime map updates.

Did BRP start giving the LM model? To be sure look at the model number under the battery. It should say Zumo 660LM, NA. The LM stands for lifetime maps. I had to buy the maps for my mine.

 

[dano]

Yep!

Garmin 660LM

I am updating mine now, and under the battery it states it is a 660LM, so I guess the 2014 RT-L came with the life time maps. I think that my 2013 RT-L also came with a 660LM. I may be wrong since at my age I can't remember what I had for lunch. lol

I updated mine Yesterday and would like to know when the update came out.

 

[dano]

I saw it came out April 4th, but I was just notified by Garmin Express today.

Yep!

I wondered when they would switch to the LM. Garmin has listed the 660 as discontinued for almost 2 years. I thought maybe BRP had bought the clearout and had a warehouse full of them. :roflblack:

Had to have bin last week or so when I mapped the Spyderfest trip I go the update. Mine is 660 NA but I purchased the lifetime update.

Garmin updates their maps quarterly so it would behoove you to check occasionally. Obviously is you have lifetime maps you are entitled to 4 updates a year.

 

[ARCTIC]

Evidently the V5.0 version has been out a few weeks because that's what mine has installed on it. I updated it the day I got it home.

Loader Loading

Just updated my 660 with Garmin Express on my Macbook. It's been in Loader Loading for 3 hours.

I read on another forum ADVRider that mac ppl had same problem and after 20 mins with Garmin told to send back for refurb. Wow...this thing came with the bike 3 days ago. Very unhappy.
