I don't think they are telling you to find it elsware. I think they believe they have corrected the update issue and no longer need to offer it as a separate download.

The original reason for providing it as a download was because their installers/updaters couldn't deal with SD cards so if the maps+JCV (that you were "entitled to") didn't fit in your GPS they would give you a smaller version of the JCV, maps, or both (whatever would fit).

Folks then complained because they obviously had room with the addition of a data card. Now that the latest Garmin installers/updaters claim to support data cards as a form of extended GPS memory users shoulg get the correct map and JCV coverage for your make and model as long as they've provided a data card.

Remember: when you do a map update (even with a lifetime subscription) you only receive the same map and JCV coverage as the originally installed maps on your GPS when it was purchased.
