I'd just assumed that the shipped date was 2 June 2008, but it's probably 6 February.

I'll need to wait for the DVD to arrive anyways...

So let me get this right the e-mail is a lie and you just need to put in your location to find out if your getting bent over or not.
Were your prices before or after vat Adrian?

Traffic reception in the central belt of Scotland and hurray NW England seems to be working again. Still a million times better than the Quest 2 it replaces

Cheers - Steven.

I have a Nuvi 360 and a Streetpillot 2610 which I bought last year when they were being sold off cheap.

For my Nuvi it will cost me but I can have it free for my Streetpilot Smile

I replaced my old i3 with a Nuvi 300 last year, and although I had all of Europe on the i3, the Nuvi only came with GB and Eire.

The update email suggests that for £60 (give or take), I'll get all of Europe. Is that right? Bearing in mind I'm planning a euro-road-trip this year, if it is correct, that's pretty good value for money!

You always could you may just need to put the extra maps on an SD card but the Nuvi will use it.

With the 660 it will upgrade ALL areas at the same time - that is it replaces the single map file with the new map file.

Allow around 2 hours for the complete upgrade (this is what it took on mine) and do take a backup before you start. If your PC is connected to the internet then the unlock will be done automatically and registered with GARMIN.

So they want to gouge me for nearly eighty quid to update the maps on a less than one year old unit when you can buy a new nuvi 250 with European maps from Amazon for £110.

I don't think so - time to try out someone else. Evil or Very Mad

I got the update DVD disc through the post this today.

Mine has a big green sticky label on the back with an 8 digit code.

All I did was registered my details on the Garmin.com site and they sent a City Navigator Europe NT 2008 disc to me.

My Nuvi 310 is only UK and Ireland, this new DVD that came today is the whole of Europe, i'm hoping that it will install the lot for me as that will be a bonus.

I'm clearing my SD card ready to try in a minute.

Fingers crossed.
