Anybody have an idea where or how the update can be done?

Thanks for the input

OK, Lars -

If your unit is like mine, it's a Magellan Roadmate 760 and it has a USB port on the side of the unit itself - but, you have to take the unit off the dash and remove it from the custom housing (that replaced your dash tray) to get to this USB port.

To download the update, you have to have registered the device with Magellan and they will want the serial number when you do it. The S/N is on the bottom of the unit itself too, and is visible when you take it out of the custom housing.

According to the Magellan site, the latest firmware for the 700 series is version 3.32 and they warn you not to apply this to any unit having this version number or higher. Mine is actually 5.xx, so I don't have anything to download. Also, the latest map database is Version 6, and again, mine has this. I'm getting no update reminder like you are, so possibly it's one of these. Once you register, the Magellan site will indicate what update you need.

Hope this is helpful.
