Updated mine to 2.90 on Monday - no problems detected.

Not too happy with the pricing/packaging of the GB Discoverer mapping however.

~£129 for each national park (at 1:50k and 1:25k) plus routable UK mapping and two different scale OS road maps (non routing) of the UK. This is very stange packaging as most walkers would usually go for the 1:25k only. The 1:50k doesn't seem to offer anything other than a larger area on view. But this would only be of use when planning a route on the device - and only then of limited use. They seem to be trying to implement a Road Angel style solution.



Not going to sell too many of those at that sort of price.
