Navigator for a car - this innovation has become in the modern world an integral and convenient part of driving a car, as well as an important touch of the car interior. But often it happens that it does not contain enough information during the acquisition necessary for faster and safer movement. What to do in such a situation if the service of downloading new cards is not cheap at professional service centers? I will tell you how to update maps on the navigator at home, without resorting to the expensive help of professionals.
What should be considered before updating maps in the navigator?

How often do you need updates?
Many drivers want to always be aware of any changes that occur where they move, which is why it is recommended that maps on navigators be updated regularly. But what is this regularity? How long can I use the newly loaded cards with confidence? These questions are not easy.
In fact, there is a certain interval between the required updates - a quarter, but not all manufacturers adhere to it, but only value their reputation and the circle of users of their products. The fact is that each company that produces navigators is individual in these actions. The interval for updating cards from manufacturers varies from a month to six months. On the one hand, when you frequently update, it may be nice to always be in the know, but on the other, it’s not always convenient to change them so often, constantly think about it, and not everyone likes to spend money every month.
