How much of the card is taken up with the UK?

All of it and then some if you're loading maps from European City Navigator V6.0. You can get most of the UK on the 128 mb card.

Hello Dave:

Congratulations on your new GPSR purchase.

Garmin has recently revised or rewritten the user manuals for the SP III, and for MapSource, the program you use on your PC to manage map segments, waypoints, routes and tracks.

You can download the new manuals free of charge (in Adobe PDF format) from these links:

StreetPilot III Manuals: click here

MapSource Manual: click here

Thanks Pan, I have the manuals in good old paper form and I am going to sit down in 5 minutes and try to make sense of them.
cheers Dave
Thanks Schtum too.

Hi Dave:

OK, but check the version of the manual that you have against the version numbers you will see in the list if you click on the above links. If you just purchased your GPSR new, you'll probably have the latest revision status - but if your GPSR was sitting around in the store for a while, your manual might be out of date.

There were major revisions done to all the Garmin automotive GPSR manuals within the last year - that is why I posted the above links.

The version number should be on the back cover of the (paper) manual.
