The Greek philosopher Heraclitus once said that the only constant is change. Today, new roads are being constructed throughout the world on a daily basis. While GPS devices, such as the Navman, can help us navigate to our destinations using turn-by-turn directions, they must also be updated to include new roads and routes. In order to get the most up-do-date GPS experience from your Navman, you'll have to update it occasionally to keep up with the constant change.
