Title: Loading Lifetime Map Update for North America nuvi 1350
Post by: imdjack on February 06, 2012, 06:53:17 AM
Recently bought lifetime Map Update from Amazon. Downloaded the map code and connected my nuvi1350 to my computer Win7 using Google Mozilla Firefox as my browser.
Garmin site seen I had a lifetime update and started the update process. It downloaded the software and went to installing on device. I let it run over night and found the same message on my screen (Updating Device Software)  I had spent all day trying to load this update and it has failed every time. 
Thanks
Jack

You'll probably need to talk to Garmin about this.  We don't provide tech support for their maps.  Did you register your GPSr with myGarmin?

Garmin has a forum for installation/update issues here: https://forums.garmin.com/forumdisplay.php?f=180

But you would probably do best to contact tech support here: http://www.garmin.com/us/support/contact

I have the lifetime map updater installed on my window7 'puter.

Worthless. Read on other forums that 2012.40 was available, and the program kept telling me there was no update.

So I un-installed that program and went to "My Dashboard" and did the map update from there. 3 GPS units up-dated the maps, took most of the day. Just set your 'puter to not go into sleep mode, and do other things while the process happens.

Let us know how it turn out.
