You can also obtain map and software updates there.
The SD card can only be installed on a navigation system. It is not possible to install the SD card on other navigation systems.
Free map update after first installing the SD card
In some countries map updates are available as a download via the "SD card navigation" download manager.
If there is a more recent map update, you can obtain this, under certain conditions, free of charge within 60 days of the SD card being first installed.
You can download the map update via the Download Manager on your PC.
