Third-Party Mapping for Latin America

The upload of third-party maps to Garmin GPS devices is a common practice in Latin America. These maps are often free to download, easily found online, promoted by online forums, or sometimes preloaded to Garmin devices by third-party dealers.

Garmin Cannot Provide Technical Support for Unauthorized Third-Party Maps. These Maps can Damage Garmin Devices, Causing one or More of the Following Symptoms:

• The product randomly shuts down while calculating a route
• Problems calculating routes
• No icons displayed on the map
• The device powers off after selecting Where To? or View Map
• Inaccuracies on the map, POI's, or Safety Cameras

If any of the issues listed above are caused by the presence of an unauthorized third-party map, the device's warranty is void.

Although Garmin sells a wide variety of map products, some countries and regions do not have an official map product available through Garmin. For this reason, Garmin authorizes certain third-party companies to utilize Garmin map technology to create maps for these areas.
