If considering a new purchase, check out the thread on nuvis' internal memory: My suggestion is therefore for you to compare adding lifetime map updates to your current GPS-good if you plan to keep and use it for maybe 2+ more years -or- to buy a newer, more full-featured GPS (with things like Lane Assist and Junction View) that is purchased with lifetime maps. Lifetime map updates are now $70 (both prices are current Amazon with free S&H prices, BTW).
Most folks that post here feel that at an Amazon price of $42 per update, this is the last option they'd consider. You seem to be thinking of buying a 1-time map update.
Having said all of the above, would I be better just buying a newer GPS with free map updates? I only drive about 8,000 miles a year, but I do take long trips several times a year. Is it about time to update them or should I wait a little longer? If now, where is the most economical place to get a map update? The maps on my Garmin 255W are about a year and a half old.
