Honda Garmin paid for updates

[pebbles]

I guess a lot of Mk.3 Navi cars have finished their 5 years of free map updates.

Has anyone paid for an update yet ? If so how much did it cost and is the installation the same except for the payment to Garmin prior to the download.

Probably won't bother if its too expensive been using Google maps on the phone more lately anyway.

In november 2022 I've paid  about 25€ for an one year update. Now I'm waiting for the EU NT2024 update.

Ive updated my Navi in June this year. It was still same price as Jazzaro mentioned.

25 Euros is good value. In the UK my dealer wants £140 which is about 155 Euros?

You might want to draw your dealer's attention to Honda's Fixed Price Repair list ...

... which says £45 (in the small print right at the bottom). Still more expensive than Europe though.

22,33€ the exact price, I've found the receipt. Online shop, then standard diy update procedure.

Some dealers don't understand their products

That £170 quote is probably for the older Alpine units that needed a bespoke DVD coded just for your VIN no from NavTeq

The later Garmin units are just a simple online download

Our dealer does... Our Garmin is updated at every service, just for thank you.

and even if you forget to say thank you, it's updated...

[jazzaro]

Do you still have the EU 2023 release?

All recent Garmin updates are via the Garmin Express program on a PC

Anyone who notices the release of a new map, please let us know! I'm anxiosly waiting for it.

Can I make a comment about Garmin's voice over versus the Tom Tom voice over?

TomTom sounds more natural with full sentences, while Garmin is more of a sum up list of words.

Software and voices of this Garmin are the same of my old standalone Garmin Navi, bought in 2006, 79,99€.
This means that in 2017 I've bought moreorless the same device but built in the car, for 700€.
Nice...
