City Map DVD

[hike2cache]

I have a Garmin eTrex Legend cx and I purchased the City Map North

America v8 from Gander Mtn. When downloading I got a message from the

Garmin site that said there was a newer version on the site for DL.

The site had v8 for $75 (already paid $148) but nothing higher v8.

Can anyone shed some light on this? I am taking the DVD back to Gander

Mtn, because this doesn't seem right to me. Tried Garmin tech support,

not in today or tomorrow.

Dont quote me on this. You should be able to download updates from garmin for your software package. I just had the same problem with Mapsource. My version was'ent giving me the detail, so I called Garmin, they had an updated version I need to download ( for free) to get my software to work.

 

Of course I could be wrong, as I am still wet behind the ears with the GPS...Jeff

I appreciate your input! When I went to the Garmin site, I didn't see anything higher than v8, which is the one I bought and the cost was $75. I sent Garmin a nasty gram, but they don't support on the weekends. I am going out of town today and really wanted to use it. This should have been a no brainer as far as I am concerned and Garmin needs to get their sh#t together. I have dowloaded software plenty of times and it is a glitch with Garmin not me!! Thanks for letting me vent!!

It looks like the MapSource software (the application that shows the maps) has a newer version, not the maps themselves.

 

MapSource is a free update. The $75 update is for the map data of which you have the most current.

 

The updated version of MapSource can be downloaded from here.

EXACTLY. Mapsource, the viewer application for the City Navigator Maps, has an update, NOT the map data. Also, the $75 disc is not the full City Navigator, just an update DVD. It would only be of use to you if you already owned an unlocked version of say City Navigator V7.
