GPS 195 Map Update!!

Postby Playboy » Tue Mar 20, 2012 1:26 pm

Does anyone know how I can update my 195 gps, not sure if this unit came with a USB kind of cable :?: :?
The unit has a "card slot" on the side but I also dont have a card for it.

Hi there,
I also have a GPS 195 and have tried to upgrade it but accordingly to Garmin, there is no upgrade available.
That was to end of the line for GPS 195, to upgrade they surgest that I buy a new model. But my 195 is stil working 100%.

Cheers

I'm sure you can still update the maps.

Search online, quite painless.

Ok Koevoet

Where did you go to update the maps.
I tried but ended up with nothing updated.

Qpen a profile and register the gps on this site

https://fly.garmin.com/fly-garmin/

Remember this is to update the aviation map - not the gps firmware

After opening theirs a link on the right side : Database price & cycles

CLICK ON THAT LINK - IT WILL OPEN THE LIST AND U CAN CHOSE - PRICES IS ON THE RIGHT SIDE.

Had no problem paying and downloading.
