Garmin City Navigator NT North America

[Salamander11]

Does anyone know how often Garmin City Navigator NT North America is updated? Is a new version likely anytime soon?

[+Chuy!]

The previous trend indicates once a year, and updated maps are released about 6 months "ahead" - The 2010 version is hitting the shelves now.

 

You don't need to buy one every year. You can get get an "Update" copy for about 25% less than a full copy, but you must already have a previous installation of a full map. Or, skip a few years and buy an update copy when it suits you. I find my 2008 copy still useful for my area.

I just upgaded from CN V-8 to the 2010 version.

I got 2010 on a SD card. My wife's Garmin, will still have V-8. We will be leaving for a 13 state caching trip soon. It will be interesting to see if 2010 is that much better than V-8.

As far as I understand, Garmin will with the new 2010 maps going from 1 update a year to 4 times a year.

Same in Europe.

It appears that Garmin supports trail-based units (such as the Oregon and Colorado) with nuMaps Lifetime - So you can purchase lifetime updates for your unit (if Garmin's page for nuMaps Lifetime is correct).

Only if you buy the NuMaps update service. The DVD and SD card products will still only be released once a year.

So where can I purchase CN 10? I was on Garmin's site and it didn't say the version. I took the part number plugged it into Google and some came up saying 2008 and others said 2009 upgrade.

 

I need to purchase a new full copy for my Oregon. Do I just get the 08 and then download the updated 10?

 

Also was is the best price people have seen for a legal full copy?

 

Thanks

are the older ones going to go down in price? and how long are they usually available?

[+FierceDeityLink1]

If you're buying now, it appears that Amazon has 15% off all maps except the North America 2010 and, of course, the lifetime maps via FatWallet.

Actually I only update mine every 3 years or so. Not much changes. I use Garmin Mobile on the phone so that never needs update but my handhelds get the three year update.

To the OP, this year (2009) the downloadable City Navigator North America map updates have been released in January (v2009.1) and in April (v2010.1). It is likely that the next update will be released in July. It will likely be version 2010.2.

 

The DVD version and SD card version seem to be still being released once per year in the spring.

I just purchased the 2010 map from GPSCity.com last week. They have the best prices.

I have City Navigator NT and find that I can't search for POIs by name. Anyone else have this issue?
