Thread: Advice need - Nuvi 300 with LT subscription but no longer supported

History: purchased the Nuvi 300 with RDS around 2009 and once the maps started getting out of date paid Garmin for a European region update with free map updates for the lifetime of the device. The last update I did in 2015 needed the maps culling to fit so added an SD card. Having sold my car with TomTom integrated, I thought I'd refit the Nuvi plus external antenna to the spare and update the maps to 2022.
Issues:
1. Garmin has deleted my account (seems lifetime means you must update at least every 24 months)
2. The Garmin installer simply refuses to update the device due to a shortage of internal memory
3. Basecamp shows the 2022 map I downloaded as locked so cannot copy it to SD card

Reading the Garmin FAQ it seems lifetime means until the internal memory is too small and whilst they do mention using an SD card issue (1) means I cannot get to the LT subscription. I suspect GBPR has been behind my account being deleted.

The option seems to be replace with a newer mode (hopefully with an external antenna port) or stick with 2015 maps. Any recommendations on a suitable replacement?

Edit to change to LT and originally purchase
