How long to get City Select V7?

I requested City Select version 7 two weeks ago and apart from an automated email reply I have not had anything else. Is this normal or has my request gone missing?

How long did other people's updates take to arrive?

Will it be worth the wait?

Thanks

mine took a week
here there is a roundabout which has been here over a year it was missing in V6 but now its there on V7,
anyone know how much of the V7 will fit into the quest? I put all UK & Ireland and part of holland france in but I guess there is room for more?

I rang Garmin UK - very helpful. Delivered Version 7 in 2 weeks as promised. Why not try giving them a ring?

It took 3 weeks for mine to arrive, they didn't respond to my emails asking if I had sent the right information or when the CD would be sent.

Then they sent me 2 CDs Rolling Eyes

Oh, it was definately worth it (hey it's free).

A few mistakes in the London maps are fixed but many other serious mistakes still remain. Navteq really need to bring their London maps up to date.

The main bonus for me is that the Ireland coverage is greatly expanded and just in time for a trip to Eire. It appears to offer coverage of "N" and "R" roads in Ireland (Irish names for what we call A & B roads in the UK).

As an Irish resident, I can tell you that the cover of Ireland has dramatically improved form the V6 to the V7 release of City Select. However, as you say, many minor and coastal roads are still not covered. I understand that NatTech are currently creating their own maps of Ireland (instead of relying on the over-expensive Ordinance survey maps).

Here's an interesting article that discusses this project: http://pocketgpsworld.com/navteq2.php

Looks like this information may not be available until v8 or v9!!

When touring around Ireland, if I'm looking for a locations that's off-map, I typically stick in a way-point (get the longtitude and latitude form something like mapquest or google.earth), and it's fairly straightforward then to reach that destination (and after all, getting lost in Ireland is an adventure, not a chore!).

Called Garmin Europe today and was told they are old of stock
- 2/3 week lead time!

We are going to France at the end of the month. Just on case...

Does anyone live near Stoke-on-Trent?
And would you mind if I took a copy of the upgrade disks - I have the unlock codes from Garmin and can prove I own a Quest (so no problems with copywrite).

If anyone from further away would burn me a copy I'll send some CD-R's.

Thanks
