    Anyone know if the 2010 map update is worth the money to buy for a PCM740?. What changes are there on the PCM740 in this map update?

    The 2010 updates includes a great many address and road additions. I wrote down dozens that drivers would call or write in to me to verify. Those that weren't in there, I would send in to the ALK map correction address and when the 2010 card came out, I checked them and was impressed that they had made it in there. It certainly isn't "all inclusive" as NO gps map database is, but for what it's worth, I do think the 2010 map update is a worthwhile update for PCM 440/540/740 units. I have 3 cards left for the 740's and no more left for the other models if you want me to send one out today. The update is 49.95 and I'll send it to you for Monday or Tuesday delivery for $5 if you phone it in during the next few hours.

    By the way, for all PCM440/540/740 owners, to verify if you have the latest maps for those models, go to the “About CoPilot” screen inside of the navigation application. It is under “Menu / Settings / Page forward 3 times with the blue arrow.” When you press the “About Copilot” button, you will see the map version that you have. If it is the latest it will say: Data: ALK.NA.2010.01.4.1.8.1.4.7

    The other option is to go direct through PC Miler at the following link: http://noeticinc.com/store/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=PCM&Category_Code=MAPUP

    Hope that helps.
