Why pay £150 and is still does not have the M6 Toll.
Great fun watching it try to decide which road you are on cause the M6 aint marked. It say perhaps this perhaps that and then gives up......

Garmin have within the last few minutes ( are they reading our threads ) replied to my mail sent last week regarding the changes to V6 over V5. Their reply is below.
Hi,
Unfortunately we currently do not have any sort of accurate knowledge of
what is included in the new version 6. This is due to the fact that the
mapping that Garmin use is produced by a data vendor called Navtech.
However, there will be a large amount of changes in version 6, but this
covers all of Europe.
Thanks for contacting Garmin.

So for City Navigator Europe the size of the data has increased by about 10% but the number of map segments is less

Has v6 got the locations of all Little Chefs marked?

Do you mean to say that you can only cover half of uk with v6 instead of almost all of uk with v5.
Where is the extra detail on uk maps with v6?
I did not think that there had been much change to uk map data and that most updates were to other countries,ie Spain,Norway and Czech.
