If you are not on the latest maps, register on Garmin's website and select to upgrade your maps. Garmin will send you free of charge the latest European DVD, and the upgrade cost (approx. £40) will open up all of Europe (although you will need an SD card to load these new maps onto.
If you are on the latest maps, unless it's really urgent, I would wait a few months for the next release, and then follow the above procedure. Equally, if you are not on the latest maps, and it's not urgent, you may be better waiting to only pay once to get to the latest mapping (Garmin charge for each map upgrade). _________________ Please don't be offended if I do not reply to a PM - please ask questions via the forums. |

Now this is where I get confused.
I purchased the 310 several months ago and registered on the mygarmin page.
If i select to add/buy addtional regions for my unit, i get the following message: " There are no MapSource products with regions available for you to purchase for the GPS unit serial number you have entered (i.e., you have already unlocked all the regions for all the MapSource products for the unit with this serial number).
I cant see anywhere to purchase an upgrade DVD or the like. |

I think some people suffered from this problem before, but I can't remember if they was a solution, or whether the new maps came out, allowing people to upgrade.
What version of maps do you have on your unit?
Do you need the European maps over the next few months, or can you wait until the next set of maps are released, and upgrade then? _________________ Please don't be offended if I do not reply to a PM - please ask questions via the forums. |

Ah, so I'm not the only one.
I recently bought a Nuvi 270 and the site tells me I qualify for a free
update on the USA maps. They've even emailed me the unlock code.
But even after contacting them I am unable so see where I order the
DVD (which I assume I could then unlock) from the myGarmin section. |
