sudamar Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 I asked this the other day and only got one reply. Does anyone know when city navigator v8 comes out? And if I buy v7 now will I get a free update to v8 when it comes out. Thanks. Quote Link to comment
-Oz- Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 No one truely knows when it comes out. 4-6 weeks maybe. To your second question: this is also an uknown. If you activate after the update comes out you get it free, if you activate a day before the upgrade comes out you may not get it for free. This thread also has a discussion resulting in the same thing: http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=132445 Email garmin and wait for their response. Quote Link to comment
peter Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 As Oz indicated, no one but maybe some people at Garmin knows the real date. In general Garmin has been updating CityNavigator-NA annually each summer. They have an official announcement date and a later actual shipping date. Anyone who unlocks the previous version on or after the announcement date is entitled to a free upgrade. Last summer the announcement date was June 1st and the actual shipments started in early August. So anyone who had version 6 and didn't unlock it until June 1st or later could get a free upgrade to version 7 when that became available. You might buy version 7 now but hold off on unlocking it until you have some real need for the maps such as an extended trip. Quote Link to comment
