How often are the maps updated?

All our maps are updated with the latest raw map data from OSM at least once a month; the exception to this is the British Isles map, which is updated every week (yes, really)!

You get the latest map at the time of purchase (pre-loaded card, Automatic/Electronic download options); these purchase options do no include any updates. If you want updates you have the following options:

1. For automatic/electronic downloads, you can either purchase an updated map at any point in time (as often as you require).

2. For a more cost effective option, consider upgrading to (or purchasing) a subscription as this will give you access to all updated versions of the map for the length of your subscription. You will also get both the GPS (Garmin device version) and the BaseCamp (version for use on a Windows PC or a Mac). The subscription offering is a self service portal.

You can find out more about the subscription offering here:  https://subscription.talkytoaster.me.uk/

3. For getting a pre-loaded card or own card updated, for UK customers (only) we offer an update service (at a fraction of the price of a new pre-loaded card). You can find this option here: https://shop.talkytoaster.me.uk/product/single-tt-1-50k-map-own-card

If you would like to discuss any of these options in more detail, please feel free to reach out to us.
