Should work out of the box. No registration or other tricks required.

Seems to me that the answer would be, especially if this is a recently purchased unit, to upgrade for free to V9 when, judging from experience on this forum, you will get coverage for the whole of Europe, never mind Scotland. See the posts on the V9 maps topic, especially the later posts.
Just in case, when you register on the Garmin site and are asked to insert date of purchase, if it is after 1 Sept 06 the updates will be free!!
Hope you sort it.

i presume you ARE using the scroll wheel to move down the list of countries?

if so then i suggest contacting garmin again, either that or take it back to the shop you got it from and tell them it's faulty.

I've got instructions from Garmin on how to order V9 maps on DVD, and how to update your i3. If you send me a pm with your email address I'll send them to you. To send a pm (private message) click on the pm button under this post.

Other than that, you can try to get it replaced. Normally with a new item this would be the retailer's responsibility, but as your dad got it as a free gift it might be easier to ask Garmin if you can send it to them for replacement. They are usually very helpful.

Hope you get it sorted one way or another.
