Map Update Month for GPS

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of NAVTEQ. All opinions are 100% mine.

I was extremely happy to get a GPS this past Christmas and simply couldn't wait to get out on the road and try it out. The first time I used it was when we flew down to Baltimore to pick up our car after it arrived from South Korea. My wife and I decided we would visit a relative that lived in the area but we didn't have a clue about how difficult it would be to find her house from the Vehicle Processing Center. As soon as we received our car, I plugged it in and was surprised to find out that she only lived a few blocks away. The GPS provided a few short cuts that got us there within a couple of minutes, on roads we didn't even know existed. It was a real lifesaver when it came time to depart Baltimore and head back home.

Since we plan on taking a few road trips this summer, I want to make sure that our GPS has the most current information available. I was happy to find out that May is Map Update Month for GPS. How convenient is that? I also found out that retrieving updates is a snap at www.MapUpdateMonth.com.

Being that most GPS units are driven by NAVTEQ, more than likely, yours is too, so you can take advantage of these easy to install downloads that provide the most up-to-date travel information available. Just pay a visit to www.MapUpdateMonth.com, download a quick and easy update and you won't have to worry about getting caught up in traffic created by road construction and detours. Best of all, you'll be able to navigate to the best points-of-interest, even if they've changed locations over the past year.
