Insert the USB cable directly into your device – be sure to remove your device from its mount before attempting the update. The section My Maps shows all the maps that were included with your device and that you have purchased for it, so you can freely install or swap these around. Note : If there is a software update available for your device, you need to install this before you can update your maps. Topping off this impressive package, a highly responsive touchscreen provides 4x faster swiping and route calculations.

The screen is decent enough, even in bright sunlight - at 480 x 272 pixels - and even though it’s resistive (ugh), we had no issues at all with delay or fumbling when jumping through menus. Connect the other end of the cable to a USB port directly on your computer - Do not connect it to a USB hub or a USB port on a keyboard or a monitor. Before you update your device we recommend that you have at least 8GB free space available on the computer.

They’ve been making maps dedicated to driving for over 25 years – and now you can update them 3x faster wirelessly and at no extra cost. Some maps allow you to select versions with different country coverage so you can install a smaller map that still suits your needs. It does mean that you will have to do actual tapping on the screen for things such as zooming in and out, though, which feels a little archaic.

Make sure you’re always on the right road with routes customised to your vehicle, plus timely alerts about bridge heights, ADR tunnels, UN class restrictions and more.
