No need to subscribe every year, just download all the images and use it for life time,hehehe. Once it downloaded you can use it for life time.

This is what they say on Garmin web site, the subscription is only required to download and install new maps, once that are in your device, they have unlimited expiry.
already tried it from their web site directly and downloaded many maps, very useful to find catch road, trees, sometimes big dunes.
will give these links a try, thanks in advance for them.

Garmin website says:

Expiration Date
The subscription lasts 1 year from the activation date. You will need to renew after 1 year. Imagery downloaded to your device during the 1 year subscription does not expire.


This is tricky answer formulated by lawyers. It says that it will not expire 'within 1 year', as per my understanding. But what will happen the next year?

DC's Montana is a new born child now. I spent over 3 hours through FB chat with him to bring tiles to his device, but I hope he understands now ...

Thanks to DC, who discovered some troubles in installation, I updated the opening post and wrote more detailed instructions.

Ya I got new unit and Capri took Panadols to make the SD work hehehehe,
Birdeye only works when you download yourself attaching your unit to BaseCamp, you can't copy others tiles, at least in my case.

DC, your statement is not true, as I was able to install on my device the tile downloaded. Read the instructions at opening post from the beginning.
