United States basemap?

I just purchased a iCN-510 , and received it tonight.
I am trying to figure out these maps, I have SmartST V3.
As I am following this procedure for "Install Basemap", the installer says "Not Available".

Is there a US basemap made?
Is it on one of these CDs, and I'm just being silly?

Please help? 8O

Nevermind, That was a stupid question I asked. Rolling Eyes

It was on Disc1 of the maps. I assumed since it was not labelled on the disc (and I was using Disc2 - Minnesota), that I did not have it. <bang head>

Thanks for your posting. I came to this forum with the same question.

I think many users will face the same problem when trying to install the USA Basemaps, since there no mention of their location on the PDF manual and they are not mentioned in the Software CDs either.

hi there, im also new to this, are you all saying that a 510 bought in uk contains usa basemaps? i have europe base maps installed on a 256 sd card, did not know bout usa?
by the way, just returned from spain where for some of the time according to the base map i was driving from barcelona to alicante, and a fair bit of my journey was in the sea!! the 510 kept telling me to go to the nearest road, i was on the ap7 motorway!!

No, the European version comes with the EU basemap, the US version comes with the US basemap.

When you were shown as being in the sea, did you have a good fix, etc?

yes tim, i was showing a good fix, it took bout 3 miles or so before the road lined up with my position, im just a bit worried to pay 150 pounds for the pan euro maps if they are going to be like this, i travel a lot in spain and have heard fromm this forum that the spanish maps are not that good, what do you think of them?
thanks for reply

Having not used V3 in Spain, I'd rather not comment. I did use V2 in Spain and Portugal and I found SmartST useful during that trip.
