I think you get one free update. Did you already update it once? If so, then yes you will have to pay for future updates.
Garmin Express is telling me the same thing. That it will cost $59.99 to update the map for my EchoMapChirp 93sv.
I have not updated my map yet since I bought it in April of 2016.
Thought the update was free also.
I think you only have one year from purchase/registration date to update.
From Garmin website:
¹Limit 1 free update per device or card. New Chart Guarantee valid within 12 months of purchase.
When I first set up Garmin Express on my computer back in March the cost of updating was 59.99. In early April it was the same thing 59.99.
This was before my one year was up.
If you're anything like me you want it for MN opener. I contacted Garmin and they said they can't reset the server for me to download for free but Garmin is mailing me an SD card with the new maps free of charge. I won't have it for opener but should have it in a couple weeks.
memps026,
Thanks. Thats probably what I'll end up doing.
I don't need it for the opener, a couple of weeks from now would be fine.
I updated my 73sv without issue last night. Everything went exactly as expected including the fact that the unit doesn't have enough memory to transfer the charts and the chip needs to stay in in order to use it.
Glad to hear your update worked. I'll be calling Garmin customer service soon to have them send me the map update.
