Hi guys,

thought you might like to know, there is an update on the Route 66 web site that sorts the problem of downloading maps,

just connect in mass storage mode and run the update, disconnect and download your maps over wifi, if only Samsung customer support had known about it when I first rang them!

Unfortunately... the up to date version is already on the i8510

I can't argue with you, all I know is that the update specifically mentions addressing this problem on the I8510, and that before I ran it I couldn't download maps, now I can;¬)

Good news guys. I've now found that since appyling the update/patch above, and with the I8510 connected in mass storage mode, I can now use the Route 66 sync software from their web site:-

to manage the installation; add maps, voices etc and backup.
