is there anyway of getting european maps onto it?

you will need to get city select europe (about £150) and load this onto a blank transflash card ..DO NOT LOAD ONTO YOUR EXISTING CARD cos you will loose all the pre-programmed maps....probaly cheaper to buy a gps with euro maps in it..

Garmin were saying that each additional region (France, Germany, Benelux are all regions) would cost about £80 or as zogman suggests, you might be able to get City Select Europe but it's £150 or more.

If you need European maps then you might want to look at the total cost of i3 + City Select and then consider some of the higher spec GPS units like the Quest or Street Pilot C320 which come with a lot more features AND City Select with an unlock code for all of Europe.

I am still confused

I re-read Geckogirl's posts and the conclusion was that she navigated in Italy in 2D. - Geckogirl, please enlighten me.
On the other hand, somebody stated that CS Europe is only in 2D.
As far as I know, 2D or 3D is not a map feature but a hardware feature.

I am still interested to know if anybody did unlock CS Europe v6 or v7 as I3 being SECOND UNIT??

Greetings

i might have remembered incorrectly about gekogirls experience but i have loaded mg usa v4.01 (which is auto routable) onto a blank card and done a simulated navigation and that was in 3d....
