Map update for Streetpilot i3 - help!!!

white_knight

I have a Garmin Streetpilot i3, which does NOT have a separate SD card. The maps are all loaded onto the internal memory. I managed to update the maps with City Navigator Europe NT 9 in 2007 but I cannot load the new maps from City Navigator Europe NT 2010. I am using the latest version of Mapsource and have purchased an unlock code. I get the error message: Required memory for storing maps is missing from your computer. I want to update the data on the internal memory, which worked in 2007. Does anybody know how this can be done? Thanks for your help.

How do the file sizes compare between the two versions. On maps which I use (not Garmin ones, but still Navteq), the latest is quite a lot bigger. So the 2010 MAY be too big for the available space on your i3. if that's what it is, can you do a selective download of just those countries you really need?

I'm surprised you didn't get a memory card with it.
Mine has a tiny 256MB micro SD installed and works fine (so far).
These must cost 'pence' by now as you can get 8GB cards for less than a tenner these days.

Incidentally, I have an i3 too, and have recently updated the Camera database from here (thank you very much everyone involved with this)!
However, I cannot download anymore maps from Garmin despite my satnav telling me every time I switch it on, that my map details are over a year old (''No s*** Sherlock; They're well over 4 years old'')!

Does anyone know at all where I can get new maps for free (or even old maps that are newer than 4 years old!!) as I only just managed to get enough cash to join this site, as I'm not in full-time work anymore to due the Credit crunch?!

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
