Hi,
I have a Garmin nuvi 40LM with life-time map updates. I have updated the maps, firmware, and software updates many times via GarminExpress.

Hi all,
I have an older Garmin Nuvi 255W satnav unit that I want to do some map updates. Unfortunately, this unit does not have Lifetime map updates. This has been confirmed with Garmin Express. The installed map is from 2011.
How can I manually update this unit with updated newer maps? Also, I want to install the new maps on a 32GB microsd card.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,
Sorry for NooB quesion.
I have a Garmin 2595LM that is up to date with US/Can/Mex maps since it has lifetime map updates.
When the GPS starts, it says: nuvi 2595 Copyright 2016. I wonder if the firmware needs updating or is that how it should show? If it needs a firmware update, is there a way to manually update or would it have updated via Garmin Express software? TIA
