The only three certainties in life are death, taxes and road construction, so it’s important to keep the maps updated in your Garmin GPS in order to get correct and efficient directions. It takes only a minute to check your map version if you have the GPS in front of you, and it can make the difference between being stuck in traffic and whizzing past it on the shortcut. If that doesn’t match what you see on your device, some nuvi, zumo, dezl, RV and Camper models use a different procedure. Start by touching “Settings,” then “Map & Vehicle,” and finally “myMaps” to see the current map version on the device. Maps installed on the devices’ internal memory as well as any maps located on an SD card installed in the device will be shown via this procedure. If you’d like to just view maps on the internal storage, repeat the above procedure after you have removed the SD card from the device.
