    I recently got a Dell GPS from the US. It only came with maps for the US (surprise, surprise) and dell Ireland won't let me buy the maps unless I buy another GPS (~240 Euro, I don't think so). Does anyone know any sites that let you download maps. I've tried the Navteq site but they only seem to be interested in cars (The dell GPS uses Navteq maps). Any advice appricated.

    TIA

    Easy solution (needs €240 for about a week or two).

    Buy a new dell GPS and copy the s/w and send it back.

    Dell takes anything back no questions asked within 7 days of delivery. And i say it will serve them right for not sorting you out with the maps in the first place and maybe making them a lil money too.

    That is a fuppin good idea. I've sent Dell a complaint so I think I'll wait a few days to see if they reply (maybe this has just never come up before). Cheers for the reply.
