upgrading maps? am i being thick?

[bigchris]

Ok, firstly I bought my 2610 off ebay, so cant guarantee i've got all the paperwork to make this happen but...

I've got europe v6 & v7 as upgrade cd.

I've installed v6 and have unlocked the maps using the orange bit of paper with my unlock code and registration code. Big thumbs up all round.

I've now come to install the upgrade cd, and it isnt accepting the same details (on this yellow paper). Should I have another set of codes or something to unlock? I dont have anything else (from what I can see).

What should I do? Am I missing a trick here, or have I been done over?

You should have another set of codes for V7.
Remember that basically all the CD's are free but all the unlock codes have to be paid for.
If you have managed to get a real bargain off eBay - you might treat yourself to V9 in when it comes out in acouple of weeks.

unfortunately I paid £200 for this, thinking I was getting a deal. Not much of a deal if im having to shell out for new software...
