How to Download and Update GPS Maps for All Devices

Keeping your GPS maps up-to-date used to be complicated. But the major manufacturers have significantly improved their map update and management utilities. And the latest smartphone apps either draw from constantly updated mapsets, or include easy, downloadable app updates for on-device map and points-of-interest databases. GPS Map update information and utilities can still be scattered and hard to find, however, so I've consolidated the most useful information into a map update guide. The guide also provides information about activating and taking advantage of free product-lifetime map update offers, and specialty outdoor, fitness, and golf updates. Image © Garmin
