    About 100 euro on the garmin site,at that price you would be better off getting a new sat nav.

    It's real rip off bullsh1t ain't it .... makes me sick, the cnuts got a couple of hundred notes initially when we bought their equipment, a nominal charge like €20 for an update I'd be OK with with but thats bollox.

    Have been getting messages when I switch on my Garmin Sat Nav that the maps have not been updated in over a year and newer versions are available on the garmin site.

    Would prefer not to pay for the update. Would either of you be good enough to PM me details of how to get the most up to date Garmin Europe or even Ireland & UK map updates using Torrents or whatever please?

    Does Torrents work for TomTom? If not can you get TomTom maps some other way?

    It does indeed, but it's alot more complex,.

    I'll see can I find the torrent and instructions I used for TomTom, I don't have large amounts of time between now until Friday,. But I'll do my best, to PM you by then,.
