Sadly No Conf.........a word of warning though and I would like to be corrected if I am wrong. We bought a Garmin Nuvi 710 with pre downloaded maps for Middle East which has been brilliant but we think that this is all it will do and cannot download maps of Europe for example.......any help please would be great:( I am really pissed off as it wasnt cheap......

Does it not have a memory card slot? My nuvi does :unsure:
You can download the maps, put them on a memory card and shove it in the side of your thing :thumbup:

Yes we bought a 4GB card when we got the nuvi and thought this was the obvious way to go about it but the way the Garmin website reads it cant be done will have a go at doing this. Thanks again for your help Chris:cool:

No problemo hun, hope you get it sorted. I can't see any reason why it can't be done this way. I bet you Garmin say it can't be done on their website so that you need to buy all the stuff etc from them instead of being able to download it on the cheap! :thumbup:
