+fiveiron Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 Hello, Can someone tell me what the correct part number is for the City Navigator NA NT 2009 DVD? I have a Vista HCx so I'm NOT talking about the update, I'm talking about the full installation. Garmin's website doesn't mention a version number and I want to make sure the one they list truly is NT 2009. Thanks, -Chris Quote
+XopherN71 Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 Everything coming out of Garmin is 2009, if you order the full version from there it will be 2009 regardless of what the site says you ordered. Quote
+Red90 Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 It does not matter anyway. If you buy ANY unlocked version of CN NT, you will be entitled to a free upgrade to 2009. Quote
+Mindless-Focus Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 so if i just bought the CN 2008 SD card, i can get a free upgrade to 2009? Quote
csacsa Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 (edited) So how do I get the free upgrade? Edited May 7, 2008 by csacsa Quote
+Cacheoholic Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 Log into your MyGarmin or call Garmin after you unlock it. Quote
Motorcycle_Mama Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 so if i just bought the CN 2008 SD card, i can get a free upgrade to 2009? No. You are not eligible for a free upgrade if you purchase the pre-loaded SD cards which can't (in and of themselves) be upgraded. Quote
+Cacheoholic Posted May 8, 2008 Posted May 8, 2008 City Navigator NA NT 2009 #010-10816-01 Good to see they finially changed the part number. Be very careful when trying to buy specific versions of City Navigator NA NT. Here's an example. City Navigator NA NT v.8 #010-10816-00 City Navigator NA NT 2008 #010-10816-00 Yep, same part number.

+sli23sli Posted May 8, 2008 Posted May 8, 2008 I called Garmin a few days ago and asked when the CN NA NT 2009 full DVD would be out since I could not find one for sale. They told me that it was not out yet and they, did not know when it would come out but the CN NA NT 2009 update was out. I told them that I needed a 2009 full version DVD. They told me to buy a CN NA NT 2008 version and when I went to "My Garmin" I would be able to download the CN NA NT 2009 update free of charge. Thats what they said a couple of days ago.

Motorcycle_Mama Posted May 8, 2008 Posted May 8, 2008 If your product is registered on the my.Garmin.com site, it will tell you whether or not you are eligible for an update and whether or not it is free or whether you have to purchase it. Quote
+XopherN71 Posted May 8, 2008 Posted May 8, 2008 If your product is registered on the my.Garmin.com site, it will tell you whether or not you are eligible for an update and whether or not it is free or whether you have to purchase it. Mine didn't, I had to call and they added it for me. Quote
+g-o-cashers Posted May 8, 2008 Posted May 8, 2008 To check upgrade availability you can use this link: https://my.garmin.com/mygarmin/unlock/unlockHome.htm You'll need to be logged into myGarmin and if you have multiple GPSs you'll have to have the correct one selected in the drop down. Like XopherN71 even when I went to this page it showed I had to purchase the upgrade even though the activation date for 2008 on my 400t was in early March. I called and they are sending the update via DVD. GO$Rs Quote
jcc123 Posted May 8, 2008 Posted May 8, 2008 When I called about 3 weeks ago, they told me that it will have the same part number. They don't change it from year to year. Quote
+g-o-cashers Posted May 8, 2008 Posted May 8, 2008 I just received my Map Update 2009 DVD direct from Garmin in the mail today. The packing had the following written on it: Map Update 2009 North America 010-10989-51 I also found this on gpscity.com PART NUMBER 010-10989-51: Garmin has confirmed that part number 010-10989-51 for the City Navigator North America 2009 Update is exacting the same DVD as the one on this page with part number 010-10989-01. The reason for the slight different in the part number is due to the packaging. The City Navigator North America 2009 Update DVD that we ship is on a plastic clamp shell packaging. The DVD that ships from Garmin is in "web packaging" which means it is just the DVD in it's case. - Garmin City Navigator North America 2009 Update 010-10989-01 description on Garmin.com - Garmin City Navigator North America 2009 Update 010-10989-51 description on Garmin.com GO$Rs Quote
+Camping Kris Posted May 9, 2008 Posted May 9, 2008 (edited) So as I understand it, from this thread, if I buy the 2008 City Navigator NT software I can get the 2009 NT update for free? No one has posted that they've recieved it from a download, but if I call Garmin they will send the update DVD for free? What info will Garmin need from me to send me the update DVD? Sorry if this is rehash but I want to be clear before I spend $100 on last years software. Edited May 9, 2008 by Camping Kris Quote

jcc123 Posted May 9, 2008 Posted May 9, 2008 Yes, anyone buying any maps today would be eligible to receive the latest map which, for City Navigator NT, is the 2009. So, if you receive a 2008 in your shipment, Garmin will send you the 2009 for free. Quote
roybassist Posted May 9, 2008 Posted May 9, 2008 So as I understand it, from this thread, if I buy the 2008 City Navigator NT software I can get the 2009 NT update for free? No one has posted that they've recieved it from a download, but if I call Garmin they will send the update DVD for free? What info will Garmin need from me to send me the update DVD? I received the update by download. It's 2 gig, so it takes a fast connection. The free update is supposed to appear on your myGarmin page after you unlock the 2008 version. You click on a link and are offered an option to choose the download or the DVD. If you choose the DVD, there is a $10 shipping and handling charge, and they said it would be shipped in 4 to 6 weeks, IIRC. Oh, and you only have 30 days to order the free upgrade, or you have to buy it. I presume this is 30 days from when the link appears on your myGarmin page, but I don’t have any information to support that. I downloaded it at work where there is a fast connection, copied the file to a 4 gig SD card, took it home and installed it on my computer there. Had some problems with the install, but I don't think they were related to installing it to a different computer than the one I downloaded to. A call to Garmin tech support provided a workaround that complete the install successfully. As you can see from previous posts in this thread, the free update doesn't always appear when it should; but it seems that a call to Garmin corrects that problem. Quote
AEmedic Posted May 10, 2008 Posted May 10, 2008 When I called about 3 weeks ago, they told me that it will have the same part number. They don't change it from year to year. When I tried to order a few days ago the rep looked up the new info and this is what she gave me: City Navigator NA NT 2009 #010-10816-01. This is the full version; however, it is not out yet...

+Mindless-Focus Posted May 10, 2008 Posted May 10, 2008 Not so.

+qlenfg Posted May 10, 2008 Posted May 10, 2008 I got my copy of CNNA NT 2008 about the middle of March and activated it. I registered it on garmin.com last night, but no updates were showing up. Do I have to call them for an update CD? Quote

You have stripped of NT from your post. non-NT version of City Navigator North America is NOT out for long yet. Please edit your post and write: City Navigator North America NT 2009 and not City Navigator North America 2009 This partnumber "010-10989-51" is for City Navigator North America NT 2009 Quote
+Mindless-Focus Posted May 10, 2008 Posted May 10, 2008 part number for what i ordered is: 010-10679-50 CN nt 2009 microSD/SD Quote
+The Furlows Posted May 12, 2008 Posted May 12, 2008 Do I need to buy a DVD for each GPS I use? Quote
+stroute Posted May 12, 2008 Posted May 12, 2008 I bought my copy of CN North Amercian NT 2008 in March.Garmin say any purchases after March 01 gets a free upgrade. I ordered my free upgrade from Garmin last week...on fee is the $10.00 shipping charge. If you want you can instead download it for free if you have good broadband (it's over 3gigs). Steve Quote
