[davidr]

I have just heard that City Navigator 2008 Europe has been released.

It's about $75 as an upgrade from v9. Unless you purchased your unit after 1st Dec 2007, then you are entitled to it for free.

David there are no news at Garmin site. Where did you find this info?

Is it possible to post the new maps updates.

Tnx in advance

[davidr]

I just got a notification via Garmin Europe.

If you want to find info about it, you can log into myGarmin and if you're registered with City Navigator for your unit you should see it under updates

due a pc crash i have lost all login information 4 garmin site

is it possible to post em here?

[davidr]

Theoretically yes, but Garmin site was down when I tried to get the update myself so I don't have it yet.

I'll keep you posted

David

Ok, just got through, however, the site is saying now that my order my take 4-6 weeks to be delivered!

Suggest that you could retrieve all your details in this time :-)

P.S. MyGarmin does have a forgot username and forgot password feature, so probably it's not that difficult to retrieve it

I've been talking to Garmin (UK) and Garmin (USA) both concur that their are teething problems with the new update, which is why it will be 4 - 6 weeks before they start shipping.

I hope so, as I'm heading on a trip around Eastern Europe in 12 weeks and could do with the new mapping.
