GPS Question

My RT Limited came with the Garmin 660 and was wondering is it the one with Life Time Map updates or do I have to pay extra for this update?

For what that thing costs, I would sure hope the updates are free. :shocked: My $150 NUVI has free lifetime updates, using Garmin Express software.

I wondered the same thing with the GPS that came with my ST Limited. When I plugged it into the computer to register it I found out it did not have lifetime maps and that you only have 60 days to update the map from the first time it is turned on.

Edit update: You have 90 days to update map.

Go to the Garmen sight an register it. I do believe the 2013 is life time maps.

My 2013 is not Lifetime maps. So are you telling me that it is suppose to be. The lifetime option is another $89.99 on the Garmin site.

You can buy the 660lm through other placesI guess BRP cut a deal with Garmin not to offer them on the limited.

I thought the USA came with life time maps. I was wrong it has traffic.

Darn, I was hoping my GPS was an odd ball and i could get BRP to upgrade it.

You have to pay. You will get a message saying time to buy updated may:banghead:. I thought it was life time. The GPS to buy after market is over $600. :hun: I don't use the map that much:shocked:. I like the fact it tells you what to speed limit is where you are at. Good English eh?:banghead::banghead::banghead:

Here is my GPS. It's the $49 Tomtom iPhone GPS with lifetime updates. I'm now using the iPhone 4S which is pretty bright in direct sunlight. I installed the BRP GPS harness which mutes the system audio when the GPS "speaks". At the same time I installed a 12v plug to power the iPhone.

When the deal was done between BRP and Garmin life time maps where not offered on the Zumo band.

Last year Garmin started to offer life time maps on the Zumo range, you can buy the update (code) cheaper from Amazon for $58.09 this will give you a code that will allow your unit to have life time updates. You update both the unit and base camp.

Life Time Maps?

Flip your Zumo 660 over, slide the battery release compartment latch and remove back and battery. Take a look at the hardware sticker under the battery, if the model number is 660LM... life time maps included, Model 660... you will have to pay for the upgrade. Garmin updates these maps several times a year and the downloaded application on your PC will remind you. A extra note on the topic, auto GPS from Garmin... if they have a (T) in the serial number the unit has lifetime free traffic alert.

It's done...Paid for the lifetime map update.....

If you register your Garmin 6660 within 60 days , you get life time updates.
