V9 MAPS FROM MY I3 ONTO MY NUVI 310 ?

I have just changed from an i3 to a Nuvi 310. My Nuvi 310 does not come with the full Euroepan mapping. I have a v9 udate dvd with the full maps of europe and have one more unlock code to use.

If I loaded the maps onto a 2gb sd card from the v9 update dvd, would it work in my Nuvi 310 ?

The unit has not arrived yet, just preparing myself. Going to the South of France in a month would like it to work down there

It depends on which Maps you have, either City Navigator NT or just City Navigator.

Thanks for the welcome.

My Nuvi 310 arrived today. It has preloaded City Navigator NT v9 UK and Ireland only. My update DVD is also NT v9 but covers the whole of europe.

Just posted this in answer to another thread....

Not sure if this helps but I have just upgraded from a UK/Eire StreetPilot i3 to Nuvi 310. I ordered my free V9 UK/Europe update DVD from Garmin earlier this year to update the i3 maps from V8 to V9 by using the registration code I received with my i3. This unlocked all of Europe, not just V9 of UK/Eire.

My new Nuvi 310 had V8 maps installed so used the same i3 registration code to unlock V9 maps for use on my Nuvi 310 via the Garmin website. This has again unlocked all of Europe for use on my Nuvi. I believe I was able to do this because Garmin allows you to unlock a maximum of 2 GPS units per code (correct me if I'm wrong!).

Not sure what this proves but I didn't need to pay any extra to get all of Europe unlocked on both my i3 and Nuvi. I still have an unused registration code in the Nuvi box which I'm hoping to use on the V10 update DVD whenever it's released.

Hope this hasn't confused matters further!

Given your Nuvi already has v9 UK/Ireland mapping built in, yes, you could loads sections of the rest of Europe onto an SD card and it will work, although you will need to use that second unlock code to access the rest of Europe on the Nuvi.

Just to clarify, I bought a Nuvi 300 about a month ago which had V8 maps on. If I order the V9 Upgrade DVD, will I have to pay for the unlock code just to get the GB maps updated?

Just a little thread hi-jack.

Where can you buy the map DVDs? The Garmin website confuses the hell out of me. Always end up at the American site and unable to order anything.

I have the 310 (UK/Eire) and would like to purchase the rest of europe. Any ideas?
