Garmin Maps – Price Increase Continued

Continued from: Garmin Maps – Big Price Increase, Using a GPS as a Bike Computer

Just got off the phone with Garmin after trying to update the maps in my 60cs. I purchased the retail version of the maps because it was cheaper than the $75 on line update. But I couldn’t get it to work.

Here’s what I learned, the retail version of the Update does not work with the 2610 or the 60cs. If you want to update maps on those units, you must buy the $75 online update for each unit directly from Garmin, there is no retail version of this update.

So if you thought you might save a few dollars over the $75 online price for the 2nd unit update by buying the 2008 Update some where else, Garmin has made sure that won’t happen.
