Magellan GPS
Strange Happenings

Electronics and household app.

I have 2 Magellan GPS units, a RoadMate 1700 and a Maestro 4040.
The Maestro 4040 was bought and registered in 2008 and the Roadmate 1700 just last Spring.

The 27th of April, I received a offer via e-mail from Magellan. This offer was a Lifetime Map update subscription, for the life of the Unit, and would update up to (4) times per year, for the sum of $89.19 US, Tax included.

And I have since been trying to Update my maps with no success. I have followed word per word, Magellan's download instructions and installed their "Content manager"

The program installed just fine, no issues, my Firewall accepted it as my Anti-Virus, but so there is no misunderstanding about these utilities, I also deactivated both of them to make darn sure that nothing would interfere in my Update download.

Then I opened content Manager, turned on my Roadmate 1700, waited for the program to recognize the unit, then I went forth and searched for updates.
