City Nav question

[Gecko]

Can any of you City Navigator owners with the new V8 please check and tell me how far east does the coverage go and what kind of detail are you getting ?
I have the City Select V5 just now and (Kijev) Kiev in the Ukraine is about the last main city. There's another place called Krivoj Rog which is smaller than Kiev but the level of detail on mine for the Ukraine is pretty minimal. Only the main roads and no detail in the cities.
I'd like to know how things have improved or not.....thanks.

This is CN8 Europe coverage:

You can use the MapSource Map Viewer to check coverage in specific areas.
But for Ukraine you're very much f@cked with CN, any version.

Any coverage you see on your unit now is the European base map.

Cheers,
Michel

Looks like I'm better off with city select then . Interestingly enough there is GPS coverage out there. The guys I was with were using PDA units and they have good detail of the main cities . I'll have to see what software they are using . Might be there are some overlays possible .

I was messing aorund today and calculated 1659km from Antwerp (home) to the Ukrainian border with Slovakia. Another 788km to Kiev. Basically it's Antwerp - Frankfurt - skip along the north of Munich - on to Vienna and ever east on through Bratislava . 2 days hard driving and I'm there.......uh oh... I feel an urge coming on
