Sir whats the difference between the standard an demo map? Since they are the only ones available for us to download. Also, how would I know if I have the latest or older map in my device?

Sorry for the noob questions. Thanks

hi emcee.

standard map is a map you can download and transfer to your device. but, this map is outdated. this only serves as a template map where you can load to your device while gathering tracks and waypoints.

demo map is the latest map where you can download but cannot transfer/upload to your device. this will only serve as viewing map for you to check if the waypoints and tracks you gathered is already on the latest working contributors map.

contributors map is the ultimate map where at present you cannot download.

but once you were able to contribute enough data, you have to send pm to the judge to chack if your data is already enough to earn contributor status and access to contributors map and unlock code.

goodluck sir.

So, the only way to get the latest updated map is to contribute first several waypoints? How about the map updates on Garmin's website? Also, how would I know the version of my map if it is the latest or older one?

Thanks for the reply.

No.

How about the map updates on Garmin's website?

It depends on your unit.

Go to TOOLS, SETTINGS, MAP INFO

Sir what do you mean by "no" and "depends on my unit"?

Thanks

It means you can get the contributor map in many ways, not just through contributing waypoints. I suggest you read the newbie FAQs. All your questions about the contributor map will be answered there.

The update is only for those who purchased their nuvis from the official re-sellers.
