Thanks Pete I started the process and then realized
that you have to be on the computer that your 90 is
connected to, it also seems that you will have to get
a update code from them by e-mail sent to the same
computer. Ill try it tonight and let you all know thanks
again at least a couple of years more!

I tried this with my Garmin 90 and got a far as downloading

any way to get an
update code. I've e-mailed the support people at Garmin
but no response
yet.

Can you help, Pete?

Garmin is discontinuing support for the Garmin 90
and will
no longer be providing periodic database updates.

As a last hurrah, they are giving away a free last
chance
database update. I did mine a month or so ago. The
procedure
is a bit confusing but you could probably fumble
your way
through like me and make the 90 good for a bit longer.
I do
not have mine in from of me but I believe that the
last
database update was dated June 2003.

Anyone know where I can get the last update availible

these anymore on their website or otherwise and I
would
like to keep my $600 GPS for a few more years? Thanks
