AWGD8 Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 I have a Street Pilot I5 which has a preloaded map of City Navigator > North America version 7. I registered or unlock my I5 last 02/22/2006. > There is a new version of City Navigator North America NT DVD version 8 > for my I5, but the release date was on 04/05/2006. > exactly 42 days after I unlocked my I5 City Navigator Version 7. How much do you think Garmin will charge me for an upgrade? I don`t expect to pay full $75 upgrade, if I`m only 42 days early of the release date of the new version Quote Link to comment
Motorcycle_Mama Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 (edited) Good luck, but I think that you'll have to pay if you want the maps upgraded. The upside is that you may not necessarily need the updated maps depending upon how much has changed in the areas where you are/drive/visit, etc. http://www.garmin.com/support/faqs/faq.jsp...phy〈=en "Q. I have an older version of a specific locked MapSource CD-ROM/DVD-ROM product. How can I update? A. Garmin offers free and charged updates for locked MapSource products. FREE UPDATES: If you ORIGINALLY & NEWLY unlocked a NEW locked MapSource CD-ROM/DVD-ROM product ON or AFTER the release date of an update for that same product, you are eligible to unlock on that specific update what you unlocked on the original for no charge." .

You might be able to get discounted rate. You're not likely to get it free, but you might get a discount. I got 50% off when my unlock was within a month of the release date. You may not get anything for 42 days, but it never hurts to ask. They must've updated the later builds of i5, because the one I just bought came with v8. Quote Link to comment
