Garmin sell quite a lot of different maps Smile If you mean European maps, the answer is V9 - North American are V2008.
Re: firmware - best best is to download WebUpdater and let it do it the checking for you:

EDIT: Just noticed this post on GPSPassion. It seems City Navigator Europe V2008 is shipping on some units - even if not yet released as a separate product.

Thanks - reason I ask is because after buying my unit yestersay from PC World, as I turned it on I got a message saying the maps are over 1 year old & need updating.

I find this starnge on a brand new unit.

You may have bought last year's model with v9 software:-
The Garmin website indicate the unit being sold with v10/2008 software!

Print out the Garmin pages re software and ask for rebate/discount or refund.

Also visit this page to see how much the update will cost extra! If it is free it still means that you have to do some fiddling about to update! Sad
