Your Disk should arrive within 7 - 10 business days via First Class Mail as soon as it is available and ships.

Not had the 10 business days pass by yet

Ill see if it turns up middle of next week, if not ill be giving Garmin a little nudge.

I ordered mine on 13 Dec, which I make 17 working days!

But, from an email from Garmin on 8 Jan:
"Version 9 has been incredibly popular so there is a backlog in requests but we have received more last friday and they will be shipped as soon as possible."

As snowboardcriminal says, the wait goes on!

This V9 update is it just the U.K. maps you get on the dvd or is it all of Europe?

If its the latter what size memory card would you need to install in your I3 to fit everything on?

Thanks

I am understand you can unlock the whole of Europe and the DVD comes in at somthing like 1.2Gb, so a 1 Gb card would seem the best, then most of Europe will fit on.

I ordered mine online on the 13th and have been waiting 'patiently' for the disk to arrive. Evil or Very Mad

Has anyone who ordered a disk online had theirs delivered yet and if so when did they place an order Question

I thought I was fairly quick off the mark but maybe not.

Yes you can unlock the whole of Europe. You need to highlight the areas of Europe you want your Nuvi to use and then transfer via the Mapsource program and a USB cable.

I phoned Garmin UK on Wednesday 10th, and was told there out of stock and awaiting more supplies.

But as for what you will be able to unlock when we get the V9 update disc,
while the DVD will contain all the regions of Europe, when you apply to Garmin with your product code, you will only be supplied with an unlock code that will unlock the same regions as the unit was supplied with, i.e.
UK & Ireland, OR the whole of Europe. OR what ever other combination of regions your unit was supplied with.
You will be able to purchase extra regions from the unlock site but I think the price is quite high, although I don't know as I have always bought units with the full European Unlock and never needed to purchase any additional regions. As of today I have owned 4 different Garmin GPS units, and this has always been the way.

Received my V9 maps this morning. Followed the instructions and installed the new DVD maps to my PC and then followed the instructions to download the UK maps to my Nuvi. Provided the unlock code when requested and then unlocked the DVD update.
But now when I switch the Nuvi on I am getting a message saying the new maps on the unit need to be unlocked Confused

Have I missed something? Thought I did everything correctly; the unit still goes live but I suspect with the old maps........

I'm getting a similar problem to perussell . I run MapSource and enter the unlock code. I says 'unlocked', and the wizard goes away. Looking at the displayed map its says 'Map Detail Locked' and there is no zone grid for me to select which zones I want to send to my nuvi 360.

Anyone got any ideas please?

Thank you.

Have you created an account here:-
https://my.garmin.com/mygarmin/customers/myGarminHome.faces
Have you unlocked your unit there?

To see if you have v9 just look at the road system in Eire!

There seems to be confusion about CityNavigator Europe v9

There is talk about ordering and receiving disks from Garmin, but are they the 'full' DVD or the 'update' DVD????

At the moment only the CityNavigator Europe v9 NT version seems to be available.

Within that version there are:-
1-A complete DVD with the whole of Europe to be unlocked to two units you own!
2-A complete DVD with the whole of Europe but only certain areas can be unlocked to match your v8 on the unit.
3-The update DVD which merely updates your v8 to v9.
4-The SD card versions for different regions

As yet the non NT version is not mentioned! There are similar versions for this!

A bit more info -

I have previously Registered the nuvi, and created a myGarmin account.

In Utilities - Unlock Maps - Retrieve an reinstall all my Garmin unlock codes I have retrieved the Unlock Code from my myGarmin account.

In Utilities - Unlock Maps - View my installed Unlock Codes my 360 and Unlock Code is correctly displayed.
