    How good would the detail of roads in Co Limerick and Co Cork (and other rural areas) be with the Nuvi?

    The V9.0 mapping has just been released for the Nuvi 310 / 360, and this has 100% coverage for all of Ireland and the U.K. I believe the Garmin v9.0 mapping is based on Navteq Q2 2006 data so should be fairly up to date also.

    I just got a Nuvi 310 a couple of weeks ago as a present and I am delighted with it, very easy to use, great additional functionality esp. the Bluetooth feature which synchs up with most bluetooth mobiles. You can make/take calls as well as send receive SMS through it with the latest firmware update from the Garmin website.

    You can see the v9.0 map coverage on this page : http://www.garmin.com/cartography/ , select City Navigator Europe NT v9 in the MapSource Map Viewer drop-down and the map will appear.

    Hope this helps

    I've a Nuvi 360, and it's on v8 maps. The detail for Cork is actually quite good, however, I've v9 on the way to me, and it's supposed to be a serious upgrade.

    Would the detail be good on local roads as well?

    Thanks

    Why don't you have a look yourself?
    This is the Java viewer for the actual mapping provided with V9

    At the time of using my Garmin GPS device, I am unable to get latest route and traffic updates. So, in order to resolve this issue, one of my friend advices me to that I have to Update Garmin GPS device. But, I even don’t know how to Update Garmin GPS device. Please, anyone out there who has appropriate knowledge regarding this, lend a hand to me. As I am looking for my next vacation very soon, so guide me as fast as you can.
