Navteq maps the republic of Ireland...

Q2 is also the Quest 2 to Garmineers, hence the confusion.

Ok

Just for clarity

that link to the mapquest is all very fine BUT its misleading cause even though its dated "2006 navteq " at the bottom right, it is NOT the latest navteq maps of the Irish Republic.

These maps in the link do NOT include the Bundoran Co. Donegal bypass which is clearly shown on the screenshot below (taken from the Q2 2006 maps i have)......

Eirlink,

You're a troll.

You haven't answered any of the above questions put to you and where your sources originate.

Skippy,

This was the target date mentioned on the GPS Passion site from Garmin at the start of summer.

If it has changed then mea culpa.

Hearing about V9 has me all excited.

I appreciate some comment have been made on this already but does anyone have any more [latest] information on when V9 will be available for the Nuvi.

I have just come across this site, and like all the other Irish map users its great to see that Navteq have now available the full monty for Ireland, well almost I just looked up the Mapquest version and am very dissapointed to find a Cross Roads just a few hundred meters up the road from my house is a Tee junction and about two km of road missing, I have a Dell X30 with Navteq maps for Europe about two years old,, it works very well in the UK and Europe, as I used it this summer caravaning in Germany and Italy, I would like to upgrade, who provides the best Navetq maps of Ireland, is it best to stick with the Dell/Navteq version, whats the latest version with full coverage of Ireland.
Do they fix the missing road section in updates, would it be a good idea to let Navteq know about this missing road, so far I have not updated at all
Regards Conrod1

Conrod1,

Jeez, that's a lot of questions with just one full stop in the whole sentence. :o

The post will probably get more answers if you number each query on a separate line.

Well Kevmac your right about the fullstops, thats easy to fix but what about the missing piece of road.

I since tried to update my Dell Navteq software on the X30, things didnt go to well, when I tried to load the maps it said, wrong version of map data found :415, is the software specific to Dell or Dell PDA model.

Is the route 66 or say Destinator software model specific or will they run on any PDA.

Can the latest software be purchased direct from Navteq.

As the cost of Navteq is rather steep, would it be a better proposition to have stand alone software that would work on any PDA.

I am not an expert on PPCs since I only used CoPilot 5 for a year or so.

You are not stating what GPS software you are using.

Map updates can only be got when the software package is updated.

For example: CoPilot 5 to CoPilot 6.
