I am new to all this and of 'advanced years'. I have a nuvi 200 with Garmap Africa Series 2008 - March edition installed at the moment, so it appears I am eligible for a FREE upgrade. Wow. I am not clear on how I get the upgrade. Do I have to buy the new Garmap Africa Series 2009 DVD (if so, how much?) and connect to the internet per your letter above to get an new unlock key? Or do I use my 'old' Garmap 2008 DVD to confirm my registration details and then download an update 'patch' to install in my nuvi 200? Regards. Hi MadMapper, what a great and informative site.

Thanks and ummm... yes, I have been a bit scarce lately haven't I? Sorry guys, I really need to get my butt into gear and get into a decent writing schedule for this blog. There are quite a few new developments rumored (i.e. new units, new technology etc) to be on the Garmin South Africa horizon but, because none of them have been officially confirmed yet, I am a bit hesitant to mention or discuss them here. We all know what it's like to be initially excited by the promise of something new, only to be later disappointed by lengthy delays and ever changing plans now don't we? ;-) Hi Fred.

You can order it from SA (from the Garmap.co.za website) but the shipping costs are going to be ridiculously high. These shipping costs are something that we in SA do not have much control over and are probably the reason why more people don't order the DVD's from outside our country. Hi Steve
