So now I am stuck with a broken device and the best they can do is send me a new Lifetime Update card and a 20% discount towards a new device.

I don't want a new device. I want my old device to work with my LIFETIME UPDATES!!!

Sorry just ranting...
I have the same GPS and found out the same thing three weeks ago when I attempted to update it prior to my house-hunting trip to Atlanta.

Garmin also offered me the 20% off, but it is if you buy it from them, which is almost always at least double the price on Amazon. I just bought another Nuvi (I have multiple GPSes) on Amazon for $100.
