There are three different types of updates.
1. Software upgrades are free of charge and are downloaded using a software tool called Garmin Updater, which is available from the Garmin web site.
2. Traffic receiver subscription renewals are available for a fee from the Garmin web site.
3. Map updates are available periodically. This is the one your unit is nagging you to update. Garmin now offers a choice between paying for each map update or buying a lifetime map update license. The choice is yours.
