Where is best place to buy CN cd?

[(RIP) Bin Ridin]

Hi,
Wanting to use my 276c in Spain and Portugal in May.
Where is best place to buy CN cd by internet, and what size memory card should I buy to go with it?
Thanks!

The update CDs should be free; don't get suckered into paying for one. You will, however, have to pay to unlock the CD. See here;

Get them sent to you direct from garmin.

Version 8 should be released soon, so it's worth waiting a few weeks.

Can't help with the memory size. Sorry.

Hi chasr,
i don't have any version now, only GPS and Mapsource, so I need to buy from scratch.
Tks

You could buy the Automotive kit, this includes car beanbag mount, City Select mapping, 256mb memory card and car power/speaker cable. At the time, it was the cheapest way to get what I needed. I bought mine from http://www.aspidshop.com/

Note, the website's a bit slow!

I hadn't realized. Still, it may be worth waiting a short while, or delaying registration - and thus being entitiled to the full CN version. I'm not sure if Garmin would do this, but it's worth asking.

best rgds

The rumour mills suggest City Select is finished and updates will be City Navigator

That ‘could’ mean, buy City Select ver7 (as aprt of a kit) now and get a free upgrade to City Navigator ver8 when its expected to launch later this month.

That would be a good deal, if it happens…
