260 is the latest version and you can get it from Garmin's website.

I wouldn't trust some .exe file downloaded from an untrusted source posted by someone who has just joined the forum. (No disrespect intended, guys but this software is copyright!)

Just curious realy but I have read through this thread with interest and as a result am considering purchasing one of these units. One thing does confuse me though. When I look on the Maplin website I see that they will have a monochromatic version of the streetpilot out soon (version i2) and that this one 'currently' is listed at £239.99? Any one have any ideas why this unit should cost more than the colour i3. I have checked the specs on the garmin site and as far as I can tell it is (with the exception of a colour screen) exactly the same machine only in black & white. Further more garmin list the i2 as cheaper than the i3?

I have queried this with Maplin but wonderd if you folks could shed some light on this ?

thought i'd post here rather than start a new topic
but does anyone find the scroll wheel makes a buzzing noise when in the car when goin over rough parts of road/bumps etc (basically when there are vibrations)

I have not experianced any noise from the Scroll Wheel. However, the fisrt unit I purchased from Maplin had a faulty scroll wheel which kept sticking in which was very frustrating. Maplin exchanged the unit for a new one which is now fine.

Does anyone know a way to restore the factory settings on the crazy i3

is there movement in the wheel, like does it feel quite loose ?
compared to a good mouse for example ?

Yikes sorry Richard I guess I must have skimmed a bit more on the first few pages than I rememberd, my appologies.

Still waiting to get a response from maplin but I suspect it may be for the reasons you have stated with regard to price fluctuations of the i3 prior to release.

This thread and site has been very helpful though and if it wasn't for the fact that I require European coverage now rather than at a later date for extra outlay I would probably have snapped up one of these i3's in a second.

as it stands if your looking for european coverage you would probably be better of getting the street pilot c320 than going through the i3 route.

anyone used a c320 and got any feedback feel free to pm me as I am interested as to how good the coverage actualy is for mainland Europe
