A problem that can come up with the free map updates for life, is running out of room to install those updates. I'm not sure if adding an SD card after years of use, allows you to fit newer map updates on the device, or not. Maybe someone here knows that. Also, I ran out of space for my saved destinations years ago, & have to delete others just to make room for new ones. Even with these issues, I still really appreciate the usefulness of the Garmin GPS. Using it is anonymous, unlike using a smartphone for navigation. Plus, a Garmin works no matter how far out in the boonies you are, no need for cellular data.
