I bought a Garmin i3 last summer at £99 and have just bought another for my partner from Motor World. The older one has V8 maps, and the new one, V9 maps.
Simple question: is is possible to copy the maps from the newer data card to the other older data card?

Any thoughts?

Welcome

I don't think you can - Garmin use the secure part of the card to store certain information which can't be copied so you can't clone the cards.

With certain GPS units you got maps on a CD and Garmin allowed you to unlock the maps to work with up to 2 GPS units owned by you. I'm not sure if the same applies to the i3, you would probably have to ask Garmin about it.

Thanks for that Skippy, as I suspected!

I'll just keep using v8 for the moment
