CNv9NT delayed till end of March?!

BeatO

Hi M8s

I've asked our local Garmin reseller about the map update, which I ordered end of December through myGarmin.com, that should have been arriving within 7-10 working days.

They wrote me back, that Garmin International has big delays for shipments and no deliveries have yet been made to Europe at all.

They don't have an exact date when the Update Disk (Europe NT v9 Delux) will be available, but expect it to be no longer than end of March.

Can anyone confirm this? I'm quite sure that others have said they already got it. Or have they got the full version?

Hey BeatO,

I received my update DVD (NT v9) last week Fri 26th Jan and installed it over the weekend. Works like a charm. My buddie also received his on the same day. There is a strange anomoly though in that at the end of the installation (after about 1.5 hrs) there is a message displayed on the Quest2 screen that says the installation was unsuccessful. I redid the install but the same message again. Everything still seems fine and the updated maps are all in the memory. I can confirm that all works OK as I travelled down from Leeds to London and back this week and NO problems. By the way, the same message came up on my buddies screen and he also did a re install with the same message again. Must be a gremlin on the install process. Enjoy !!

What do you see in the MapSource Info dialog on the Quest 2? On my not yet updated Q2 I've the "City Navigator Europe NT+ v8" listed. What's on yours?

BTW: Check your PM.

BeatO,

With the new map set loaded the "Mapsource Info" indicates
'City Navigator Europe NT v9'
The Mapsource on the PC on the other hand retained the old v8 mapsets PLUS the new v9 set. So I uninstalled the v8. As I said All works well !!

Went on the stand at Autosport, Garmin gave me a copy when I asked for it. HOWEVER BEWARE. Did update and my Quest 2 dumped V8 and installed V9 but all that was there were the base maps. Talked to Garmin, they accepted that as the unit was less than 12months old they would sort it out. Sent off, came back with damaged screen. Complained, sent back returned with new unit and V9.

:D :D Now for thye best bit. I put it on my bike in the garage and picked up a signal on 4 sats. Never had even 1 before. Unit works quicker( nothing like my nuvi 360), but no waiting for redraws. :D :D

Greetings from a new user

I purchased a Quest 1 that came with europe v8 on disc and I have been told by various people not to register the product yet because if I wait until v9 is released I can get the new version free.Does anyone know when v9 is available in the UK ?.I have not installed the v8 disc yet and would appreciate any feedback on this question.

Hi M8s

I'm now really getting impatient, as I still don't have my update disk.

As you perhaps know, there is a disk floating around on a torrent size. Not I've read that it's a full version. Can someone confirm/deny, if there are different versions of the NTv9 disks out there and if only the update disk can be used to update the Q2 NTv8 maps to v9?

Or to put it in a different way, is a special piece of software required to download the v9 maps to the Q2 to overwrite the v8 maps?

BeatO

PS: The file diskdata.ini contains the string "City Navigator Europe NT v9" and is dated 07-Sept-2006, 22:53
The product in the confirmation email of my order is called "City Navigator Europe NT v9 Deluxe Unlock" Question

Can any of you guys enlighten me???..........

I have two Quests;

If I buy the V9 upgrade can I get an extra unlock code so that I can use V9 on both units (they are both registered to me).

Will I still be able to revert back to V7 and V8 if I needed/wanted to???

And does anyone know if the map tiles have been reduced from the V8 size???

Cheers

Willie
