I recently purchased and downloaded a one-time update for my Nuvi 255.
Just noticed a message posting about the latest 2012 mpa update.

I was wondering if my online download link & product key
points to a specific map version ?

The email confirmation I received indicates the download link
is active for a year........
So, what do I get if I re-download after a new version comes out ????

---------

To download your order,
go to the link above and sign in to your Garmin account.
Then click the Download button
and follow the instructions to complete the download process.
You have 1 year to download this map update from your Garmin account.
A link to the map update will expire 1 year after the first time you
download it.

You'll get a message asking you for a credit card. The link is only active
until you download an update OR 1 year.

I was gonna try the download via the link,
but after going to the Garmin website,
I changed my mind.....
It looks like the download is for the specific version 2012.10
and of course lists the "key" for my specific Nuvi 255.

So - I probably can do the download again and again
for an entire year -
but will still only get the same 2012.10 update
and only with a "key" for my specific Nuvi serial number.

I can tell you from trying it already - you have used that key already, so
it is now blocked!!
