DOWNLOADING UPDATED MAPS - Tomtom Go Plus GPS Receiver

If you updated US and Canada maps, then no, your Europe maps are not updated. They are likely to still be there. You can check by punching in an address in Europe....

If the GPS reminded you to get the maps updated, I would recommend taking it to Best Buy. You are supposed to be given free map updates within 1 year of the date of purchase I believe. And updating the maps on Insignia devices is a very convoluted process that involves downloading software off of specific internal best buy websites.

The answer is yes you can. However remember that your satnav is not waterproof so you must keep it dry. To buy maps for on the water go to www.garmin.com. Hold your mouse over maps and click on BUY MAPS. You'll have to fill in your satnav model, what continent you want to use it in and for WHAT ACTIVITY select ON THE WATER. The maps available for on the water will be shown and you can select which ever you want.

When you're downloading the map download to your computer and install to an SD card rather than to your satnav as you could overwrite the map already installed on your satnav. For details on how to do this go to http://www.fixya.com/support/r5628920-update_garmin_satnav_maps
This explains how to update your maps but also includes downloading to your computer and installing to an SD card.

NOTE: There can be problems with nuvi satnavs reading SD cards so I would advise you to try installing a map you already have to the card first and see how it goes. If you don't have a copy of your map on your computer and you have at sometime in the last few months updated your satnav

• Log into myGarmin
• Click on myMaps
• When you see the map you have installed on the satnav click on DETAILS and it will take you to a page where you can download the map again for a certain length of time after you bought it.

What did you update? The message you are getting refers to the maps. If you have not updated the maps in more than a year, you will continue to get that message. If you update the firmware, voices or anything else, it will NOT stop the message.

Hi Benmanding,

I had this problem for a while as well. On my way to a new job, it would always take me a route which is twice as long as the one I take now. The problem was that I had not updated my maps.

You can update your maps by downloading them from nuvi's website. Check it out by going to: https://buy.garmin.com/shop/shop.do?pID=31655&ra=true#mapTab

register your unit with garmin and pay for updated maps
