Buyer's feedback: - * Just say no! ...
Don't do it!

I installed this update on my Nuvi 660 and it was the worst mistake I have ever made!

It seems to work OK for street driving, but now, on the freeways, all it shows is "Ramp ahead" even if the nearest ramp is miles away.

It no longer informs me of upcoming exits and only tells me what they are when I reach the foot of the ramp and then quickly switches to "Ramp ahead" again.

And Garmin's support on this has been terrible as well. After waitin in the queue for 45 minutes, all I was informed was that there is now way that they can roll me back to the 2006 maps that came installed on my device in 10/07.

I am supremely disappiointed in this update for other reasons including many missing streets, including a new interstate!

Buyer's feedback: - Garmin Map Update 2008
Just updated my Garmin 2720 without issue. I cover a large midwest sales territory and began to notice the older map version was missing newer routes and the POIs were outdated. The 2008 version seems better - not perfect but better. I was tempted to purchase one of the newer slimmer Nuvi units, but glad I saved the money and updated my 2720 which has not failed me yet.

Buyer's feedback: - * Garmin 2008 Update ...
The product worked just fine and downloading to our GPS was very easy. Our street was not on the original version that came on the product but it was on there on the update. I would recommend it if you have an older version of a GPS.

Buyer's feedback: - Skip that one
I'm not sure why NAVTEQ hates Garmin users. In other devices NAVTEQ has more recent maps and details. Just check it against google map. Both maps are provided by NAVTEQ, you should think if they have it in google map they should have it in other NAVTEQ products as well. You can definetly skip this update, if you live in Upstate SC.

Buyer's feedback: - * Worh the price! ...
I have a Garmin Nuvi 350 that had 2005 maps and worked well but was outdated. This map update was easy to install and fixed all the map shortcomings I was looking for. I would suggest upgrading if your GPS is more than a year old and I plan to upgrade every two or three years. If you use your GPS for business, I'd upgrade every year. I'm an retired, occasional GPS user and it was worth it for me.
