Where did you buy your i3 from zogman? it's probably just mixup with database and hopefully they will recignise your registration number but not before update
I wonder if this latest promised update coincides with the promised upgrade to City Select Europe? |

just to confirm what skippy said ,i got this off the garmin site
Am I entitled to a free update?
If you purchased a locked MapSource product ON or AFTER the release date of an update, you are entitled to an unlock on the newer version of that product for free.

Hi Gary
Different software that is for lets say the i3's operating system. the one in question is for the Map data which should be more up-to-date with new roads etc |

For my Quest it consisted of a CD which you then get an unlock code for online. I don't know about the i3 because it seems to come with the maps preloaded so no CD.
Anyone care to speculate? _________________ Gone fishing! |

if garmin do update the i3 they might possibly send a update cd which will only work with your i3's serial number (which you have registered) to your home address...this should stop any piracy |

the thing is crazylegs is that we really dont know for certain that an upgrade is due for the i3....it would be bad marketing on garmins side to release the i3 and then a few weeks later introduce an upgrade.. |
