Bought mine in Jan from Comet.
How do you find out what software version is?
And, how do I get it updated.  |

Incorrect.
v2.70 refers to the FIRMWARE version of the unit. It is totally unrelated to the MAPPING version onboard.
To see the firmware version - go to Settings - About (at bottom of list).
To see the map version - go to Settings - Map - Map Source.

Which do you wish to upgrade? |

1. Yes, it,s v7.
2. v7 to v8
I've followed the link above. I'll be phoning Garmin.
There might not be a great deal of difference but Garmin don't strike me as a company that gives a lot away, so I'll get it where I can. 
Thanks guys  |

Garmin have a history of provided service over and above that required - replacing units broken outside of warranty, providing small spare parts for free. |

Great.
So why are the Europe DVDs only available in the USA?
And why can we only buy over-priced TransFlash pre-loads of pityfully limited European maps?And why are the units made in Taiwan (and carry a California health warning regarding the manufacturing processes used)?
Must I continue?
"small spare parts for free" ?  |
