Thanks for the link and info mantee - good to know they work and are updated. The last disc that I bought updated the firmware. Does this one? Might give it a punt anyway, as there are a few roundabouts in this area that no longer exist except in the mind of the sat nav.

I found on other forum some guys (Russian, I think) who made a custom controller and together with replaced higher res screen+components taken out from other sat nav, they successfully connected it to the CANbus, but it's too much hassle with. I could do electronic things but I have no programming knowledge unfortunately.
Post few pics from google maps, please, I check them on the sat nav for you, when I'll be back home in few days.
