Suzuki Garmin satnav update

50Twuncle

My Suzuki Garmin SatNav is asking me to update it
I have 2 options - or 3 if I ignore it !!!
1. Take the car to the dealers and (no doubt) be ripped off for the update
2. Do it myself
Is there any charge for Garmin Nuvi updates ?

Does it have an SD card or similar to hold the data on?

Different car obviously but my Mazda has a built in satnav and the data is on an SD card in the console bit, you simply take it out, whack it in a computer and use the Mazda software to update it, then put it back in.

My Garmin Nuvi (old satnav before I got the car with built in) you would just take out of the car and plug into a computer and use garmin express to update it

Yes - it has an SD slot (and a USB as well)
is it a free update ?
it is embedded in the dashboard (non removeable)
