Unfortunantly I did cough up the $180 for the upgrade. I was not happy to then recieve a international card fee as the transaction was processed in the US

Thanks Jimbo. $180 seems a tad over the top when you can buy a whole new unit for $95 on special.

Found a great deal on ebay, offering the latest 2014 Navteq plus the latest TOPOv4 maps for Aus & NZ for $24!

Seller was great, posted promptly from Melbourne and they work perfectly. The only caveat is that you must install the SD card they come on and run from there (which requires removing the Garmin) rather than using the Garmin software via the USB port.

To run the new maps, I've just turned off the old maps stored in the Garmin's memory and run the new NAVTEQ map from the SD, when I want TOPO I just turn off the NAVTEQ and the TOPO maps automatically come up - brilliant!


PM me if you are interested and I'll send you the link to the seller. 11MY SE SD4 in Lago Grey just arrived with a free Garmin thrown in! This could be the start of a beautiful relationship (I'm an eternal optimist, and former FL1 owner)!
