| Has anyone received the V8 update yet? Urgently need postcode search. Searcing for address by street input is slow and does not always find the right street/road. |

I wouldn't have thought loaded v8 maps onto the C320 will give postcode search, surely there will need to be a firmware change to support it.

 Has anybody received the V8 NT Europe discs yet. Garmin said end of April but before I pester them for mine yet again for my C320 I wondered if anybody on the mailing list has in fact received any.

 As promised, copy of reply from Garmin below:-
Thank you for contacting Garmin Europe Support
Unfortunately the StreetPilot C320/C330 update DVD has been delayed, we anticipate that shipping will commence at the end of the June.
We already have your shipping details, and will dispatch the update DVD to you as soon as we are able to start shipping.
Please let me take this opportunity to apologise for the delay.
Regards,
Brad Rose
Product Support
Garmin (Europe) Ltd
Seems to be taking a long time when apparently V8 is already being sold with new hardware purchases however we can only be patient and wait.

Where can you buy a c320 with v8 mapping in the UK? |
