CAN YOU UPDATE FOR FREE THE MAPS ON A MAGELLAN GPS I PURCHASED TWO YEARS AGO?

There are no free maps update for the magellan roadmate 1412 car gps receiver. The only maps you can get are sold at cheap rates. The maps go for about $50. Anyone that says they can find you free maps online are just going to be toying with you.

• The only free update for your 4040 is the latest firmware or you can call the tech support of Magellan and ask if you can still avail the latest maps for your 4040 don't forget the recepit when you call them, they may ask you to send it to them for verification.

Start at the navman website.

I should pre-warn you that they are not very friendly. About 4 years ago I bought my mom a Navman ICN 620, after 6 months I tried to get updates and called and emailed them for about four months finally when they responded they just said they were not updating US maps for any of their previous products. Looks like they are more an international company that sells in limited quantity in the US through Radio Shack stores. I have gone back to their website about 5 times since then to see if any updates were ever added and they never did.

If its an older unit I would replace it Tomtom makes a nice unit and Magellan even has a few units with free traffic updates (depending on area)

I finally just replaced the unit for her this christmas bought her a Magellan roadmate 1470 for $150.

Just FYI most GPS manufacturers want you to pay YEARLY for their map updates and if you skip an update you may have to also pay to do a firmware update. I have a Tomtom go 720 which is 2 years old they wanted $49 for a firmware update and $99 for the map update.

According to Magellan at their website, a new map update will be available next month (sometime). There is a firmware update there now.  The firmware update works fine if you follow their instructions.....full battery charge etc.

where can i go for updated free magellan1200 maps to update my gps

have you updated the maps on it? if no try and update the maps also do a firmware check to see if you need an update.

You need to go on the magellan website or google it, then when youget it, connect a usb cable. for more details on buying or how to put it in your magellan go to : http://www.magellangps.com/products/mrm_software.asp

get a new unit like any magellan mastreo series or roadmate 800 ,i had a 700 they start having alot of problems after i did my research on here.
