How do I update the maps on my Garmin Streetpilot i5? - 1/6/2008 9:42:19 AM Q: I have a streetpilot i5, I see there are maps on Garmin's website for 130 or so dollars, but I don't want to spend that if it doesn't continually update the maps. Does it just update them once and then 5 years from now I have to spend another 130 to update them again? A: Usually you get a free year's worth of map updates, and then you'll be charged. They have to buy the map data from others typically but they do charge a lot above and beyond what I think they pay.

I take my kids snowboarding and to travel lacrosse tournments occassionally. I want a good GPS that will take me anywhere.

Garmin StreetPilot GPS - How to save and transfer My Favorite locations? - 1/17/2007 10:20:33 AM Q: I've been using a Garmin StreetPilot i5 for almost a year and love it. I've accumulated quite a few places in the unit's Favorites. Many of them were saved by physically being at the location of the Favorite (as opposed to entering an address). Is there any way to download Favorites FROM the GPS unit? I want to load them to my PC and then duplicate or transfer them to another Garmin unit? I am thinking of buying another StreetPilot for our other car and would like to have the same Favorites in both units. I assume this is also a common issue when people upgrade their GPS units, but I searched and found nothing helpful yet. Thanks! A: use mapsource if supplied with the unit to connect the unit to the usb port, transfer from this unit to the next one.
