Now available for Download.

Visit My Dashboard.

Use GarminMapUpdater.exe to Download +- 400Megs if you choose device and Computer (recommended).

The File size of the gmapprom.img has grown so I presume more detail has been added.

Old 69164 Kb New 82628 Kb.

I've upgraded and it seems stable so far.

I keep getting problems trying to download the update onto my 2460!
Same result on Laptop and Desktop computers!

Guess I'll have to contact Garmin tomorrow!

Use Webupdater first to update the device Firmware.

and then try again.

I'm using the same version of GarminMapUpdater on Win 7 and it worked.

After Using map for a While I feel that this is the best CN RSA so Far.
Better and more Junction Views (High Resolution).
More POI
Improved Coverage of Southern Africa.

@Swannie is the area where you live Area sorted yet ?

Unfortunatly being my first experience with CN maps I can only compare it with Garmap. What I found is that unlike in Garmap unpaved roads only become visible at less than 1.5 km zoom.

Steve I had a look On MapSource you need to zoom to less than 1.5km before it is visible On the Nuvi 52 you need to zoom to 300m or less. Setting the map detail to more from normal improved that to 500m zoom but it disappeared again at 800m zoom.
