    I have a NUvi 215W. Bought for R2000.00. why can I not get free updates? I am a pensioner and can not afford expensive add-ons.

    regards. P Smith

    Garmin has supplied the following response:

    The free map was only released on the new city navigator map set, which is a new map. The one you are using is an old Garmap mapping, and to upgrade will cost R349, which will cover you for a calendar year. Then, when the next map is released, you will get a free upgrade for that calendar year.

    The city navigator map set is only compatible for the new units like nuvi 30, 40, 50, 2495, 2595, 3495, 3595, and zumo 350.
