Re: GPS navigation
G'day John,
If your Garmin Express tells you that you're up-to-date, with version 2017.20, it simply means that you have what Garmin consider an 'old unit'.
The 'old units' used a different map information supplier, which was Sensis Mapping.
'Modern units' use a new information supplier, Here Maps, and these guys regularly update, hence our latest maps being version 2018.20
The unfortunate part here is that if you have an 'old unit' you have old map data, and I've just spoken to Garmin Australia, who tell me that they don't know when the next update will be - if at all - for 'old units'. :-(
So I guess that their 'Free Lifetime Map Updates' guarantee isn't for your lifetime, but for the life of their suppliers contract.
