New XXL 540S - When to update map
This is my first GPS which I got for Christmas,
When does the 30 day Free Map Upgrade window start?
What starts the 30 day clock and monitors this?
Is it when you first connect to the HOME software?
Is it when you turn the unit on for the first time?
I have not connected this unit to the HOME software.
I have done a full backup of the unit before it was configured in any way doing the backup from Windows Explorer.
Should I update to map version 840 now or wait for the next version?
It would seem a newer map is around the corner and I would like to get that and would be willing to wait.
------
Also I noticed that the unit will route me through unnamed alleys. Is there a way to turn this off?
I disabled IQ routes and it no longer routes me through alleys.
