Garmin is finally shipping the City Navigator North America NT 2008 Deluxe Unlock DVD for the Mobile XT!!!

Apparently, it had been available for the Nuvis but not for the GMXTs due to installation-related technical shortfalls.

To my pleasant surprise, the latest 2008 DVD is free if you purchased your GMXT after May 1, 2007. I think Garmin was smart to reverse their "No Free Map Updates" policy, as it surely would have ticked off most new Garmin buyers, like myself.

All you need to do is register your unit at my.gamin.com and under "my Registered Products," click "Map updates" and it will then take you through the free update process - and as a confirmation you'll receive the following confirmation e-mail:

Thank you ... for completing GARMIN's MapSource update Disk
order process!

Your order ID is: xxxxxxxx

Your Disk should arrive within 7 - 10 business days via First Class Mail as soon
as it is available and ships.

Information about the Disk you ordered:
MapSource Product: City Navigator North America NT 2008 Deluxe Unlock
Version #: 2008
Release Date: May 1, 2007

After your Disk arrives, come back to Garmin: MapSource Unlock to get an
unlock code for the updated data.

Can't wait to get the latest maps. cheers.
