So, getting back to the topic of not posting copyrighted material on the forum, I can understand the need to protect the forum from legal action.

I guess the desire to get access to map updates is driven by the relatively high retail cost of those updates from the OEM (Garmin).

However, a quick search of the 'net, particularly sites like "flea-bay", shows that map updates are generally available for a fraction of the OEM price. (My apologies in advance if a reference to other sites is not permitted)

Just my 2c.
