[i3] Upgrade to V8 maps

Montala · Posted: Fri Apr 07, 2006 4:24 pm Post subject:

Hi,

Another satisfied customer here... posted it late on on Tuesday... back today (Friday).

I asked the Post office for a Certificate of Posting, which is issued free, when I sent it, and Garmin used the envelope I enclosed to return it.

It came from Romsey, and although it was a SanDisk card it was not the same one I sent them... that doesn't bother me at all though. As others have mentioned it was packed in a nice little plastic case, wrapped up in a compliments slip advising me that it has been updated to the latest mapping ( V8 ) free of charge.

Good service from Garmin I reckon, and an example to many others!

Does this qualify as a record ?

Sent my transflash card to the Freepost Garmin address on Saturday, went to the Post Office and sent by Special Delivery (£4.10). The woman behind the counter raised an eyebrow at the address but accepted it as OK.

Checked the tracking page on the Royal Mail website this morning (Monday) - was shown as still pending delivery. Checked it lunchtime - shown as my local sorting office have failed to deliver to my home address and have left a "while you were out" card. Doh !

I'm off to the sorting office tonight to have words Stop it!

It's cost me 4 quid to send something to my home address via my local sorting office !!!!!!

Now that you early adopters have tried out V8 - is it worth upgrading?

Obviously if its free then its not costing me anything but I'm a bit concerned that at least 2 people have inadvertently enriched a couple of thieving posties.

I know that Garmin have replaced the missing items but they are not obligated to do so and if (when?) it gets to endemic proportions they won't be able to continue doing so.

So - what are the differences?

Posted mine before Easter and it turned up middle of last week. Suppose it's due to the backlog of Easter post. Still pretty fast and with the special delivery they sent it by (as well as doing it for free when I've had the thing for so long) it's a big hats off to Garmin. :D

I've never posted before but i've been following some of the news here, especially the map upgrade.

Well i posted my transflash on Tuesday, Special Delivery £4.10 (for the insurance), and got it back in a nice little case this morning (Saturday).

Excellent service by Garmin. I'd also like to thank everyone involved here a lot because i just wouldn't have known without you guys.

Keep up the great work

Go into Settings, click on Map, then Map Source and it will display which map is loaded and the version.

Sent Monday, freepost, back Saturday by registered 1st class mail, didn't cost me a penny (well, other than 2 envelopes).

Many thanks Garmin Clap
