Do Lifetime Maps go with a used 595?

I am selling my Garmin 595. It's up for auction on eBay. An interested party asked if the lifetime maps apply for a new owner.
I think they do; it says that one set of LMs go with every LM unit sold. But forever?

Anyone know for sure?

The lifetime maps do transfer with the unit. I would avoid the term "forever" though as that is not Garmin's definition of lifetime.

Yeah, "Useful life of the unit". That should be a long, long time. :D

The last sentence in the policy you posted does give me cause for concern, though:

" Your nüMaps Lifetime subscription or other lifetime map subscription may not be transferred to another person or another Garmin product."

That really means just passing your update to someone else for their device, not passing your device with its updates.
