At least it seems as if there will be an update and that Navman haven't written the 520 off as being obsolete.

FREE and NAVMAN don't relate. To be fair, you cannot really expect updates to software to be free - if it were a 'fix' to a fault, then perhaps there might be an argument for it to be free.
Bottom, line  No.

Have a look here which will give you an idea of the last software upgrade for the iCN520 - cost of the operating system upgrade was £25 on its own but coupled with the mapping was £99 - it's now been reduced to £69.

ok thanks.
I am loving my 520 but the only downside is the postcode search. Its ok if you know the street name but what if you only know the postcode?
Have heard a solution to this is in SmartST2006. any idea when this will be released? and will it work on the 520? |

Currently SmartST2006 is only on the new iCN530 and 7xx series. There has been no announcement that it will be made available for older products.

Unlikely, plus you'd need it register it.
