On a budget, get a localized Nuvi 1350 which has a 4.3" screen ( if stocks available as this is replaced by Nuvi 40). You get all you asked for except MapKing :mrgreen:

You are in luck.. we have a weekly map update for Garmin GPS HERE and it's FREE!

The map is not lock and you're free to use it on any Garmin GPS.

Hope this helps... Cheers!

Your PC is not detecting the Nuvi.
Start by changing USB port
Then changing USB cable
If this fails, connect your Nuvi to another computer with cable.
If this works, then problem is with your PC.

Thanks ...
Seems it was plug and detect in the beginning but then detection becomes an intermitten problem, I even bought new data cables but when all failed.....
Google, provided the answers....
Switch on the nuvi, wait till the "searching for satelite" part, then only plug in the USB cord.
Now it works !!!
