My CD copy has arrived (in only 3 days!). It's just a shame the Globalsat BT-338 I've ordered elsewhere to use with it hasn't yet.

Also got my copy fra Route66 webshop today!

Everything looks fine, still haven't tested it to much, but map over Norway looks fine, and traffic information is also working

The GPS resciver in the kit is smal, but the batery is still good!

Again, I wish to know the exact reason why some versions of Route66 are limited to the P910 (memory card, memory, UIQ, what else?). Is it possible to upgrade P800 & P900 to use these versions?

Thank you

I think the only reason is the map size - the Px00-Version has smaler maps (the Px00 Models can work only with 128MB Sticks)

The map sizes of the P910-Version:

Benelux - 92.118 KB
Eastern_Europe - 40.609 KB
Finland - 114.306 KB
France - 215.155 KB
Germany - 218.222 KB
Great_Britain - 132.541 KB
Greece - 7.778 KB
Iberia - 105.647 KB
Italy - 210.144 KB
Skandinavia - 158.963 KB

So if I need to drive across europe, I have to take a laptop anyhow cos the supplied stick can't hold all the maps, or shell out AGAIN for a larger card. That stinks when you're paying £235.

Unless u r driving across more then 3 countries, then u need a bigger MS. Otherwise get a 1GB MS Duo or 2GB to store all the maps. Frankly I think its not often that we travel so much by car.

to anybody with R66, what GPS receiver's can you use with the P910 and R66? i'm guessing there is a dropdown menu with a list like Tomtom 3? i already have a GPS receiver and i wish to know if it is compatible.
