Some people often forget that GPS systems are dynamic gadgets. In other words, they could be upgraded with new map databases. GPS manufacturers often have their own maps which users can download for a fee. A company usually releases several new map updates every year.
The subscription to these map updates are usually based on a one time fee and it is valid for an entire year. Some GPS companies will offer a lifetime access to map updates after users sign up once and pay a specific fee. The latest maps can be downloaded from the GPS company websites. The GPS navigation devices are easily synced to a computer via a USB cable.
