Rating : - You'll get 10 disc's
Be ready to be confused when you get this package of 10 disc's. The first Install disc is obvious enough but the next 9 aren't. In fact they don't say anything on them except which numbered disc they are. No region, no area, nothing. The instruction manual doesn't say anything about them. The manuals not clear at all about how to down load maps to your gps. I had to write to NG. When they wrote back I couldn't get the thing to do what they suggested-which was some notification would prompt me to install a certain disc. Which didn't happen. The install process doesn't completely auto install, theres 11 files. Theres no instruction on which files to further install. So, that'll be a guess and click. I installed all 10 disc's while waiting for a responce...then found out I shouldn't do this. The instruction manuals way not covering what I need and thats to simply download an area. Oh-yeah and theres a hot key..the space bar tells what level your at...found that by accident. If your lucky enough to see a red block any try to transfer that area to your gps might ask you to pan down to another level. I'm still trying to get this to work...way too much important info left out and it's been days now. Nice box but good luck.
