Unfortunately no. It's a Garmin based GUI, but the maps are from a different company. So it's not an actual "Garmin" GPS, like we would think of.
There was a group of people looking to see if they could come up with a back door approach to this on Wrangler Forums. I don't know how successful they were.
Maybe someone from here has more info and will post up.
Hope this helps,

I was told the dealer could update them when I bought my '14

Update - yes; load other maps - no
The only way around is as Scott mentioned is someone figuring out a "backdoor"

I'm running this new Insane JK1001 unit in my 2014 Rubicon and so far so good. Basically think of it as an Galaxy 5 Android phone in your dash, just much bigger. Any app, or download that you can install and use on your phone works on the JK1001, even Angry Birds... :wings:
It has Google Maps and Google Earth built in, but you can also download any map or topo, or navigation app that you might want. It also has its own Insane Nav program built in which although I haven't used it much yet, seems nice.
