All new GPS receivers for auto use come with pre-loaded maps. Some older units did not but they would usually come with the maps on a CD or the URL to a download site. If your unit came with no maps and no way to load the maps then it is probably defective. If it is new in warranty then you should contact the manufacturer about getting it replaced. If it is older and out of warranty there is a chance the manufacturers customer support may be able to provide a cost effective way to get the maps but it would probably be better to replace the unit.
TeleAtlas Maps are standard with this GPS system.
Updating your GPS maps depends on what manufacturer and specific GPS model you own. You can generally update the GPS maps by either downloading them through the system or buying updated maps on a CD.
One can only download Google Maps if their GPS is an "Android" i.e. a GPS bought from Google. If you have one of these then you can download Google Maps straight from "Google Mobile Maps".
