The City Navigator Italy/Greece being sold by Garmin is a 2015 version, as of 9/3/14. What is the date of the version being sold via Amazon?

Jane, sorry. I looked at all the product details and there is nothing about what version or date is being sold. There's no information about the seller on Amazon, other than its positive delivery ratings. If you call Amazon customer service they may have more detail, or may be able to get it from the seller. Good luck.

Seeing that your post is 2 months old, you've probably found out whether this device has good coverage in Budapest and/or Prague. I'd like to hear more on Budapest and Hungary, since there is a Hungarian company which sells a separate detailed map of Hungary (incl. Budapest), which is really good. Is it a good buy comparing to what is included in City Navigator 9?

Thanks, Vanessa :)I followed your instruction, and voila, City Navigator North America NT 2008 is what I got.I ordered the Garmin Nuvi 650 from Amazon at $306.00 on Dec. 26, 2007, the unit arrived on Dec. 28.

Thank you. Sounds good. Now I want to find it in combo with the NuMaps Lifetime. Nuvi combo have the NuMaps Lifetime for $50 extra, but I can't find this with a combo yet.----------------Garmin said the one with lifetime update for maps (3790LMT) would be out in September, keep checking their website. Said the cost was $499.99. I hate to spend that money, but am getting the voice activated one for safety reasons. Said it was shipped to Best Buy, but I can find it only in Canada...

I do not know about your particular GPS model, but when I bought my City Navigator back in June 2014, I went to Garmin's web site, searched for City Navigator, and when I found this particular model, I saw a list of compatible devices. I looked on this web site: https://buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/maps/on-the-road-maps/city-navigator-nt/c452-c454-c496-p1.html. Good luck. It would be nice if Amazon had this information, wouldn't it?

I wondered about that too .. although I'd trust Garmin's website and other 3rd party discussion sites ... the ?70 units are built to contain maps for both continents, and the ?80 are the first one's with MSN Direct.Perhaps there'll be a future ?90 (390/690) range that combines the two sets of new features? :)For now, I'm just wondering whether tot ake the plunge with the 660 and its FMt raffic/preloaded POIs, or wait for the MSN-direct 680 to be released (April?)!

To my knowledge, this is still the most current - and best - GPS Garmin produces for most consumers. Those of us wanting the 3597LMTHD had to wait until it's release in May of this year, following our pre-order of same. I believe there is a new "Big Rig" device out there, customized for over-road truck drivers. I've seen nothing else more current from Garmin. Hope this satisfactorily answers your question.

Chris,I ordered my Garmin 370 on August 8, and just received it on August 13. Unfortunately, this unit appears to have the outdated map of North America. How can I confirm that the v9 European map is on the unit? How long did it take for you to receive the newly-released North American maps from Garmin? I live in the UK, but will be in PA until August 26, 2007. Am I likely to receive the maps before departing from the USA? I plan to call Garmin tomorrow to request the newly-released N. American maps free of charge. Did your request for the updated maps require negotiation or was the representative easily convinced to provide the maps free of charge?Thanks for your feedback!

FYI - I just called Amazon, and I spoke with someone that was hard to understand. Anyway, he said he could not confirm the Garmin 350 would ship with v9. I also asked him what is Amazon's return/refund policy, and he was very vague. When I askded him for more info, he said to check online for their return/refund policy. I told him to make a note that I WAS going to buy the Garmin 350 from Amazon, but since he can't guarantee they have v9, I won't be buying it from them! I just sent Amazon an e-mail in response to their so called "Help" call. I'll let you know if I get a reply from them.

Ok. I've looked into this just a little further. You have to buy a GPS that accepts "City Navigator, North America", which is an add-on map on a micro SD card. It's 79.00 from Garmin.

I bought mine 10 days ago from Amazon and it came with the 2008 map loaded. As Randy Thress said, you must register your product within 60 days and you get the 2009 map unlocked from the Garmin site for free.

Osama Sajiid I purchased my garmin streetPilot C580 from Amazon about 2 months ago (around 9/15/2008). Mine came with 2008 maps. I called garmin within a couple days after receiving it from Amazon and updated to the 2009 maps for free. It took about 4 hours to download the 2009 Maps to a file on my PC (I have DSL). It then took nearly two more hours to install the Maps from the file on my PC to the C580. I believe that Garmin only gives you 30 days from the time you register your GPS to update the Map file for free. After that, you have to pay. I think garmin charges around $100 to update your map file. You can actually purchase a map update from COSTCO on CD for a little more than half what Garmin charges. I saved the file I downloaded for my 2009 maps. That way, if for any reason my map file gets corrupted on my GPS, I won't have to pay to download another file later. UPDATE: We purchased another Garmin C580 for our son for XMAS. I tried to update his MAPS to 2009 but was not able to do it. Garmin requires you to get an authorization code (by calling in) to update the maps. The AUTHORIZATION code will only work to update the map file ONCE. To update my sons map file to 2009 (on my computer which had the downloaded map file on it already from updating mine), we had to call in & get another authorization code. There was no charge because his unit was new. We could use the MAP file I downloaded to update my maps to 2009,and thus saved the four hour download time (on my PC which has DSL). However, we had to have a new authorization code.

G Malley, V2008 is the new version number they use from 2008 and after. v8 is the old map. So yours has the latest map. Great news Rebecca, thanks for sharing the news. I am glad that Garmin does listen to customers' complain so they change the policy. That's what a good company should do.Cheers

I bought one during Prime day and received it on July 16th 2015. The one I received had maps of both North America and Europe pre-loaded. I plugged it in and both maps updated (put a 32GB SD card in mine first that I had already) without issue. My Tom Tom account shows lifetime updates for both maps. Hope this helps others trying to decide.

Thanks Chris. Have you ordered from PC Nation? I checked out the site, and the Garmin 350 is selling for $9.00 less than Amazon, and their extended warranty is also cheaper. They also offer free 3 day FedEx shipping. I checked out the BizRate comments, and most customers seem satisfied. I haven't checked out their return policy yet.I sent Amazon an e-mail around 5:00ish PM PST, but I still haven't received a reply. If I don't hear back by tomorrow morning, I'll be ordering my Garmin from PC Nation.Thanks again for the info!

Thanks for the update, dsrussell. I'll take your advice and check out the review of the 765 that you mentioned at gpsmagazine.com. It's too bad that the folks at Garmin didn't include this info about the 765 in their owners manual. Must have been an oversight on their end. Again,thanks a bunch!

I also ordered from Amazon and received my Nuvi 370 yesterday (7/26/07). The unit that I received had the current maps of Europe (City Navigator Europe NT v9), but the older, outdated maps of North America (City Navigator North America NT v8). I called Garmin and they agreed to send me the newly-released North America maps (City Navigator North America NT 2008) free of charge.
