So, all I have to do, is install garmin 5.0, and all my map's will still be useable?

Instaling garmin 5.0 will only update my curent version (v4.1)?

yep

all of my existing stuff was fine, though remember to follow the instructions and also make sure you back up current.gpx as you will need to put this back after the upgrade.

Like I say though, I (and a few others) had to reinstall a second time as the display went odd.

subjective I suppose but your software is waay behind the current so it would probably be worth updating.

personally I preferred the look of version 4.20.......

but version 5 certainly adds extras

jatt420 On the box Show Speed Limit, it should state either YES or NO. To change from one to the other, click on the box, highlight yes or no then done. For YES it will then show; Show Speed Limit Yes. I would guess that not every road on every map has been enabled so it could be that you get on some but not necessarily on all maps
