Hi,

The 2010 map updates are available incase anyone did not know. I am downloading it as I write, I have the Numap guarantee scheme so I registered my new Nuvi 215 and discovered there is a 2010 update available..
I have no idea what updates have been employed as yet.. Maybe someone
else may be more informed then myself?

Thanks. Weren't they supposed to notify us by e-mail?

That's what I thought too. Bizarre version numbering too .. the last one I downloaded with my nuMaps guarantee (only on the 19th of March!) was 2009.1.

EDIT: Just downloading them now, and noticed there's a check box to tick to receive emails about future updates at the bottom of the page the download manager is launched from.

I have the 2010.10 installed now. The m50 - N4 junction has been updated finally...Their is a few other slip roads added near the N4 to the maps also...
Few more poi's added.. Tallaght hospital is renamed to "Adelaide and Meath" on the 2010.10 maps compared to the 2009 for some reason? The firhouse road (R114) has a minor update to it aswell since it was widened awhile back. Blessington co wicklow is still missing some of the new estates that were built a few years back in 2005..
A couple of closed down garages are still floating about on the maps also. Although thats not essential, it's the essential things that matters.
I would be interested to know any other discreprincies people may find..

Hey, Im on the verge of buying this 250W http://www.satnaveasy.co.uk/garmin-n...maps-i148.html but it comes with 2009 maps, will I be able to upgrade for free when it arrives? - or is that nuMaps guarantee something you need to buy?

Jip · 21-04-2009, 10:47

Didn't know this was out either, I thought 2009 was the latest until I went to register my wifes new 265wt. Installed it last night, it has a lot of the newer roads around me on it, such as the Ongar Distributor Road and it has more or less the full length of the M4 as far as Athlone now.
I also like how for some of the POIs it has the companys logo, for example for hotels belonging to a chain it will display the chains logo on the map.

To the poster above, yes, you'll be able to get the 2010 maps.

Upgraded from 2008 maps with recently purchased nüMaps Lifetime yesterday, have not tried it out yet but suggests different routes to places travelled already, will report back after the DSI run this weekend

How much does it cost to update the maps (Garmin Nuvi 200) ?

Unit was bought at Christmas but the maps were never updated to the latest version, so was just wondering would it be expensive to update them ?

Thanks

bogman · 29-04-2009, 00:12

Cost me € 104.34 excl. VAT (€ 119.99 total) to update a Garmin Zumo (nüMaps Lifetime option) works well with several updates already noted, well worth it in my opinion
You can do a cheaper once off update, not sure what that costs

Thanks, but I think the unit cost less than that, so would be as well to buy a new one and get a map update with it.

No, not really, as you'll be faced with the same expense again in a year or two. Bogman's post refers to nüMaps Lifetime, which allows you to get up to 4 updates per year for the lifetime of the device. I don't think it would be worth the cost of a one-off map upgrade though, which is probably around 70-80 euro. But if you see yourself hanging on to the GPS receiver without upgrading the hardware for a few years, then the nüMaps Lifetime might make sense.

eamonnq · 29-04-2009, 11:44

Thanks for that, will have a look around and see what my options are, but I may as well upgrade my Satnav, and then take it from there.

Thanks again

I had an unregistered nuvi 200w outside the 60 day period. I used the method described here to upgrade to the new version. I also now have Mapsource with full Europe maps installed on the PC I used.

adox · 04-05-2009, 17:37

I`m just about to purchase the lifetime maps but I cant find Ireland listed in the drop down menu list of countries when entering your address details??

MYOB · 04-05-2009, 18:04

Still not a great update, installing it now and going through it in RoadTrip (their Mac application). Sisters housing estate build in 2006 is still missing - reported this to Navteq ages ago. M50 junction upgrades are in and they've done an attempt (but wildly wrong) for the N4 Lucan Bypass upgrade.

I would be all day submitting name corrections for Maynooth alone - Bouble Lane (Double Lane), Dillows Row (Dillons Row), Maynooth Castel (Castle), etc, etc.
