- The "less expensive" is relative perhaps. My fiance has a Nuvi, and she just bought a lifetime map update for $75. She can download updates twice a year for free for as long as she owns the unit. I have not seen a similar deal for non-Nuvi units. If I recall, it costs about twice that much to update the maps on the hand held units.
