    Basically, you are entitled to a free update if you have purchased your unit after September 2006. The latest maps are version 9 and Garmin will send you an unlock code followed by the DVD with the whole of Europe on it.
    Do I want it? ......Do I need it? ......What would happen if I don't buy it??????

    Hi, If you PM me with your email address I'll send you a copy of email and some Pdf instructions on how to update your unit by ordering a cd and an unlock code which I received from Garmin last week. HTH. Alan.

    Well I wouldn't like to particularly point out to a relitavely new member such as yourself, but the suggested search was done.... as well as a search for "streetpilot", "street pilot", "garmin", "carphonewarehouse", "carphone warehouse", "car phone warehouse" but turned nothing up.
    Have a look at this exceptionally lengthy thread, then... (Assuming you have got nowhere over the past 2½ months!)

    PS What was the "carphonewarehouse" search about?!

    Mine came in five days, about three months ago, so I suggest you chase their customer services, who are usually surprisingly good.
