Although not 100% confirmed, there are lots of stories of both Garmin and TomTom offering free map updates (if needed) to users who register their new SatNav unit. There’s a catch though, the unit needs to be registered within the first 30 days after purchase to qualify for the free map upgrade. Obviously, some times, these units can sit on the store shelves for some months (or occasionally even longer) before you purchase them, and so a free map upgrade is a nice feature, and would give you the same mapping as a unit shipped directly from the manufacturer that same month.
