Lets keep this subject going too.

Well, anywhoo...
I ordered the V.7 disc on 7/31. I'm getting the same ship date, 8/15.
I had RMAed my iQue back in July 04, so I got the V.6 for free (much to my surprise). Still, to get ALL of the United States street detail and POIs for $75? Can't beat that anywhere.
A new Thomas Bros. mapbook for just my county (San Diego, CA) can cost $20. Just for the county. In a huge book I would have to lug around... instead of a small pda which fits in a small pouch on my belt.

I know you are talking about the US V7 update... I RMA'd my unit just as the European V7 came out, to my surprise I had the latest V6 sent back to me with my new unit, for a laugh I tried updating to the new V7 and got that for free too!!...More than impressed with Garmin..

Sorry. I sit corrected. I should of been more clear on the U.S. part. Trying to change thread name...if it can be done.
Trying new typeface "comic Sans MS" Italics too. Color also. Cool!

Can't change thread name. Oh well. 9 posts.

I seem to remember that the V.6 (US) could be bought for $150 for a non previous user. That is still a great deal if true for V.7 (US).

It seems that if you get a new unit, under an RMA, then when you register the new unit, that's what counts as the date of purchase. So if they replace your iQue about once a year, you get new maps about once a year.

Perhaps a way for them to compensate you for the trouble you had sending the unit in for repair.

Ha, I just noticed to the right that I'm a "newbie"! Makes me feel young again!!

Good to see you here Anders! Did you notice that the new "EEK" emoticon looks just like Bokkie's avatar?

hummm, i wonder if my wife's will allow the same thing? she just got an RMA with a new code, wonder if it will allow her to update for $0?

I have to update my iQue and GPS10, so that'll use up my 2 updates i believe. Would hate to have to pay another $75... if i didn't have to?
