Ok, new to satnav, but having read through countless reviews, keeping to a budget and finding a decent deal on Amazon, i opted for the 310.

Now for the questions.

-Does the nuvi have much internal memery? If not, which is the best mem card to get?

-Has the latest firmware fixed the limited number of POI categories causing the unit to fail?

(silly question) Do i have to subscribe to obtain the speed camera database? Embarassed

Delivery is due this weekend, so i thought i would give myself an information overload!

Enough for UK mapping and speed cameras and POIs. If you want lots of MP3s or european mapping then you may need more memory.

I believe so.

Your unit may come with a limited period free subscription to Gamin's own speed camera database. Alternatively you can subscribe on this site and download an alternative speed camera database.

Thanks for the info.

I have another.... Wink

What about map updates and such. I'm not bothered about Europe. Do Garmin provide these for free or will I have to fork out when newer maps become available?

If your unit came with v8 maps, then register on the Garmin website, and they will send you the v9 DVD for free, and provide a free unlock code.

If it came with v9, then when v10 gets released (and all subsequent releases), you will need to pay for the new maps. This costs roughly £40.

Frantically scouring through the threads trying to get the most out of the unit!
