How to Reload the Software on a Navigon 2090S GPS
As they are with other companies, firmware upgrades for Navigon's line of GPS navigation devices are free for versions in the same generation of software. You just have to register your product at the company's website to download the update. However, if you want a new generation of firmware for your 2090S, you'll have to buy Navigon's FreshMaps service accessory for $19.99, which will sync your device through the Web with the latest Navigon operating software.
