nuMaps Liftetime and Mapsource

[scotty76]

I purchased and downloaded nuMaps Lifetime Europe for my Nuvi 310. Does the install process update MapSource on my PC as well as the maps on the device?

I ask as the UK maps are located on the Nuvi but the Europe maps are loaded onto the SD card using MapSource.

Also in Map Info on the Nuvi I now see both City Navigator Europe NT 9 and City Navigator Europe NT 2009. I unticked NT 9 but does this mean I now have two versions of the map in there or might this in fact be the extra map data on the SD card?

Re your MapSource question, why not try it now that you've done the download.
Certainly my own ancient copy of MapSource on the PC was updated with a new extra set of maps, when I downloaded the european mapping update for my nuvi 255WT.

I removed Mapsource from my PC before running the map update. The latest version of Mapsource had loaded with the latest map at the end of the update process.

Thanks for all the replies. As others had said, I did find that MapSource had been updated with the latest maps. The reason I asked is I was worried only the built in maps would be updated by the nuMaps.

Now all I have to deal with is the slightly crazy routing choices 2009 has brought. I'll start another thread about that!
