There are some important things you should know if you want to update your StreetPilot Garmin C340.

Whats the NT compare to non NT version

  1. Maps are the same
  2. POI are the same
  3. Size are not the same
  4. NT can not be used on old units.

Question: How do I know if I qualify for a free update?

Answer: Head over to garmin.com and login to your  My Garmin account. If you haven’t already registered your GPS, do so now. If you qualify, Garmin will let you download the update directly to your PC/Mac, or send you the DVD if you pay the postage. There’s no difference between the physical DVD and the digital version, so if you’ve got high-speed Internet the download option is probably the way to go.

Question: Why does the Map Update 2009 require an internet connection?

Answer: You’ll need internet access to verify the serial number with Garmin’s servers

Question: Can I install the update on more than one GPS?

Answer: No, each map update may only be applied to one GPS unit.

Question: Do I need to backup my saved addresses?

Answer: No need to back-up your address book or additional POIs – everything will still be there after the update.

Question: How can I tell if my GPS needs the update?

Answer: Power on your GPS and tap on the wrench icon -> Map -> Map Info, if you see anything other than “City Navigator North America NT 2009″, then you need the update

Question: I am receiving an error message that I don’t have enough space to install the update. What can I do?

Answer: First, make sure you have enough free hard disk space; the update installs the map to your C drive first, then copies it over to the GPS. Also, the 2009 maps take up

slightly more space than previous versions, so if you’ve got a lot of photos and/or mp3’s on the internal memory, you may need to delete them. Most nuvi models will update without a problem, but if you’re still short on space, try deleting some of the additional languages and voices to free up some additional space.
