|
|
Can anyone help me regarding an a recent upgrade from 6 to version 7 for City Select?
Some of the streets that have been updated and appear on the Mapsource s/w as up to date - are not appearing as updated on the Quest unit.
I have asked Garmin tech support but they do not know why roads appear on the PC screen but not on the unit. For example; Riverdale Drive in Earlsfield, SW18.
Can anyone help
On the whole the Quest is a great piece of kit
Cheers |

I don't know too much about the Quest, but I take it you have downloaded the relevant new map segment over V6 or over its your basemap equivalent, assuming the Quest has such a thing? _________________ Tim |

Hi
Yes the upgrade to version 7 has been installed and appears to work OK on the desktop. Its just the unit itself that still shows the street as under construction (a dotted line not solid)

I think the Quest uses a dotted line for an unpaved road too - there are a couple near me shown like this. Does this apply here?
I see the same road as dotted in v7, so I don't think you have an installation problem.
It could just be that the source map data is wrong. |

I'm sure there's an easy answer to this one - How do you get hold of City Select v7? 8O _________________ Garmin C320 & Garmin Quest |

If you hold a qualifying product, like V6, look here. I haven't seen the full retail version on sale yet, but I should think it's out there somewhere. _________________ Tim |

If you bought version 6 after the laucnh date of version 7 (some time in Jan this year I believe) then you are entittled to a 'free' upgrade of version 7.
You need to go to the garmin web site and download the updated maps together with a new unlock key. The guys I bought the unit from installed version 7 for me.
I believe there are some version 7 instalation CD's around but they are hard to get at this early stage |

Going back to your original post, did they install it on your PC? I have emailed Garmin Europe (located in the UK) for the free v7 update CD but received no reply yet. |

Garmin europe quoted me for CS V7 upgrade $100 plus VAT & Garmin US is a $100, some were on the site they say they heve to apply tax to sales to the EU.
To me it's a lot for an upgrade when the full Nav kit for the GPSmap78cs which includes Full CS V6 cost me £166.
There a lot good revisions & bug fixes to the latest Mapsource.
Waiting to see what sort of price they will ask if & when Garmin release UK OS as a Topo map |

How did you go about asking? By email? Did they reply or just send a cd through the post? _________________ Garmin C320 & Garmin Quest |

DPL,
I e-mailed them with my details requesting the V7 upgrade. I got an e-mail reply from Garmin Europe about a week later informing me that the disc would in the post soon and including the unlock link and instructions.
It arrived about a week later. The contact name was: Ollie Stone, Sales Support Associate, Garmin (Europe) Ltd. Oliver.Stone@garmin.com
Hope this helps! |

OK. I'm getting really frustrated now. I've got the Europe City Select v7 cd, I've got the unlock codes, I've loaded it into MapSource on the pc. GREAT. :D Now, how do I get the dammed v7 maps into the Quest? The option 'send to device - maps' is greyed out so it won't make the transfer. :x _________________ Garmin C320 & Garmin Quest |
