Garmin Map updates from eBay

[BigTed]

hiyas, I thought I'd investigate the cost of a map update for my Garmin Zumo 220.... Garmin want $100+ for a map update. However, I found lots of sellers of supposedly compatible maps for around $20.

Has anyone got any experience with these from eBay? I'd hate to trash my GPS.

Cheers, Rob.

The site is working again, but requires registration to enter.

I would be hesitant to by an ebay update, as it may be bogus and a waste of money. Purchase a real Garmin lifr time update and you will get updates forever.

Glad its back up, I've never been spammed or anything from the site on the email I registered (I have a special one for such things  )

as per Yorkie's ( ) suggestion, I've just installed the latest OpenStreetMap on the GPS (Zumo 220) and into BaseCamp - all works a treat.

I think it'll do nicely - my only test was that I can now route a motorcycle (rather than an off-raod vehicle) over a road that the old map thought was a dirt track. A deeper poke around reveals even a little more detail with additional POIs.

Quite easy in the end.

Cheers, Rob.
