Title: Rns510 maps with full postcodes?
Post by: PDT on March 16, 2011, 07:19:42 pm: Which version of maps will I need and which firmware version?

If I need a different firmware, will I likely face battery drain issues? Currently using can gateway version K.

A K version gateway 'should' be OK to run this version of firmware

Do you know if you have a A or B version of Navi

You can still use V7 maps to get the newer mapping on older firmware. You just don't get the 7 Digit PC support without 268X or higher firmware.

It needs to be 268X for it to work properly :happy2:

Just wondering if there is a cheaper source for V7 maps than Main Dealers :drinking: and a more reliable source than Lithuania on Ebay :smiley:
If anyone has answers them we can PM or email if necessary

Post by: Richn83 on March 17, 2011, 08:24:46 pm: I have run the moded 1300 and modded 27xx to avoid battery drain with F gateway and 7 digit postcode for anyone who is contemplating this.
