Form the manuafacurers web site - The manufacturer is working on a map update however it is stored on the SD memory card in your GPS unit so you may need to contact insignia to find out how the SD memory card is updated and when the update will be released.
I would at a guess think that a memory card reader device may need to used on your P.C and that a download into the sd memory card would be how insignia would achieve an update. But backup what is on the memory card first onto your hard drive in your P.C. before altering its contents if this is how it is achieved.
Depending on the type of GPS you have, you have a few options...
If the update instructs you to put the update files on the SD card, you need a means for your computer to access the SD card. This can be done by using an USB SD card reader, which can be picked up at your local electronics, digital photography store or online.
If you have another device that allows the transfer of data between a computer and the device (and it uses SD cards), you can put the SD card for you GPS into your other device, connect it to the computer through USB, and transfer the update files. For example, if your digital camera uses an SD card, you could put the GPS SD card into the camera, and then connect the camera to the computer.
Make sure you're updating correctly - sometimes the update is a file you run on your PC that in turn transfers files through a different means onto the GPS. Read the manual for your GPS for more information regarding transferring files onto the GPS and updating.
To get updates for your cars gps, first ensures it is properly charged, then you disconnect it from the car and connect it to a laptop that has internet connection, once you connect on installing the drivers software, it will pop up the latest updates for your gps. Select the update and the updates will be installed on your gps.
1) Format the Memory Card via Windows
2) Remove Card/Device from Computer
3) Plug Device/Card into Computer
4) Open up TOMTOM Home
5) It most likely will not recognise the Card/Device as a TOMTOM but will update it to a previous firmware. Keep following On-Screen prompts until fully updated.
6) Unplug your Card/Device, turn on and enjoy :)
i would go www.magellangps.com and download them from the website directly to your computer. Then your gps should have a memory card reader of some sort. You can take your memory card and the updates you downloaded and then you load the updates from the memory card. .
First you have to get the updated software.(igo8 is what i bought)
Look around for on that has the newest maps included It will be cheaper than purchasing separate.(you also will get free updates later when you buy the software.)
hook up gps to comp via usb.(with the software card in of coarse)
go into the flash drive (not sd) using the comp and look fotr a text file called "IGOPATH" and copy it to your desktop and open it.
Change the "Navigate" line under moduals to the exe location on the sd card.
then write it back to gps and reboot gps by the side switch.
You have now updated the armcor3900.
It sounds like either your GPS plug came out of the back of the unit, or your gps does not have a clear view of the sky, or if the gps is mounted on a trunk that opens and closes a lot the wire can break inside. I dont think the software is your issue, just to make sure if you update make sure the update file is the only file on the card, if there are other files (left over pictures, etc) they can cause the unit to disreguard the whole card.
This problem is due to the memory card not containing the TomTom application or map. To update the application onto the memory card
Connect the device to your computer.
Open the TomTom Home application.
Click on 'Update My Device'.
This should then install the application onto the SD card. Alternativly, you could perform all the steps above without the SD card in the device, this will install the application onto the internal memory. Note: you may also need to install your maps, voices, etc after you updat.
