Any GPS that offers lietime of free map updates? Garmin charging $70.00 is a bit high when a new GPS cost under $200.00
I have a Garmin Nuvi 350 and they only allow one free mapping update per unit, so when they say free mapping update be aware of this. I think if you buy a GPS system the mapping should be free for life. By the way my street is three years old and still not on the new upgrades.
