Garmin map update 2008

I have recently registered my c510 with Garmin. It is a GB&I version. Garmin have just sent me a DVD map update 2008 Europe. I don't require European cover so is it worth downloading it onto my unit? Or does it also include UK updates as well? If my c510 had all the European maps on it would it slow it down?
Sorry about all the questions, I have loads more but I dare not ask for more!

Many thanks for that. In fact it seems that I have v9 already installed (GB&I) and I think that the update DVD is v9. I am not 100% sure and it does not state the version on the DVD cover.

I am likely being very dense, but how do I get the new map info updates onto the sd card, rather than clog the 310's internal memory?

Got my update installed today

No DVD drive on the XP box, so had go via a Samba share from my Linux box.
I had to mount the /long/path/to/the/samba/share as a drive letter (z:/) to get the installer to work correctly

If I had know how out-of date the data was I probably would not have bothered to buy it Sad

Two major road projects near me that have be *open* for a year were not on the map
1) New main link road north from Ambassador Drive in Exeter to Pinhoe Rd Google Map
2) I could not find the new A30 dual-carridgeway section at Victoria either Google Map

but at least they fixed the road past A La Ronde (Summer Lane - it was Orange even thought it is only 6 ft wide)

Thanks for the info inspiredron, but, when I plug the sd card into the pc, it only shows the few music tracks that are on it, no maps, they are loaded onto the nuvi. Perhaps I should not bother with the update Cd and just leave it as it is.............

Having inserted the CD 2008 update, connected the nuvi, with the SD card in, it ran to the blue install screen, flashed up another,( so quick I was unable to read it ), then came up with the blue exit screen..........and that was it.........obviously the updates didn't install in .5 of a second......bizzare......still says city navigator europe nt v9 on the map info screen.

Thanks crazyfingers, I have written to the bods at Garmin plus the unit was registered some months back. As you say, they are pretty good at getting back to questions in a short space of time. Will wait and see Rolling Eyes
