Garmin announces new service of map updates for life

I’m sure many of you own a GPS, because they have rapidly become very popular. Now, whether you own a Garmin GPS or not, I’m not sure, but if you do, you’ll be pleased to know that they announced a new map service at CES.

The announcement in a nutshell is that Garmin made it so that if you paid one payment, you will receive map updates for life. Dubbed the nüMaps Lifetime Program, you will get new POIs, streets, and addresses, whenever they are made available which is every quarter. After you make the initial payment, which I’ll cover in more detail in a moment, you will receive e-mail updates when a new map is available to download. All maps are provided by NAVTEQ.
