Just out of interest, I used version 30 before in the UK and now I use version 40 -the current one on this thread- and by Jove there are more details. for one thing -sinckers- I now see branches of Lidl with the Lidl logo on the screen - thats funny but fantastic at the same time. I absolutely love this map. Thanks to all contributors. So yes it is better than previous version, go ahead and download it, it's worth the effort.

Thanks for sharing that with us jacko69er!

I've got an old 205, and I have yet to see Lidl logos in Austria...
Otherwise, this map update was more than necessary for me!
Heads up

"A picture is worth a thousand words." A screenshot from my Oregon 450. By the way it's not only Lidl, there are dozens of other brand-proprietary icons on this map. on version 30, that particular branch of Lidl wasn't on the map (not only the icon, but it didn't exist as a POI on the map) and I noticed many more places added too. So, it is safe to conclude that POI's are enhanced / updated in version 40. Cheers.

Sorry but I have a VERY SILLY question:

Since the UNLOCKED maps work for EVERYTHING and EVERYBODY why do you upload and we download LOCKED maps? - to spend (all of us, separately) our time to unlock the same silly map. Don't you think we should change ATTITUDE? or ... I miss something important? being a .... newbie in this area...

By the way, any idea where I can find a POI file with speed-cameras for Europe?

The one reason is "If you yourself can do, so you always can do it anytime you want".

Probably you mean: "If you yourself can do (IT), THEN you can ALWAYS do it, anytime you want". (Do not be offended - I am not correcting your English [I am NOT a native English speaking person either(!!!), just trying to guess what you are trying to say]. Even the corrected version does not mean much to me - unless you make a word-game....

My position, in general, is: SAVE TIME, EFFORT & RESOURCES, UNLESS you do it in order to OPTIMIZE it, i.e. in order to save time/effort/resources in the future or for the others"

In our case now: Even if I/they (other people) know it and I/they can do it, WHY should I/they do it EACH and EVERY time I/they need it? (it is a only loss of TIME, EFFORT & RESOURCES!) Another word-game? Maybe ;-) Too much philosophy eh? - sorry

In other words: "I do not 'buy' it, I will 'buy' the catymag's straight and fair explanation". Unless I have completely misunderstood you.... ;-)
