Apparently, given that you don't mention GPS units at all, you know nothing about them.

1. My response was to that specific quote from [MENTION=388062]kingston[/MENTION], not sure how you thought I was talking about Garmins or about getting updates and firmwares and maps.
2. Activation != registration.
