I download my lifetime update to my nuvi and indicate in the process that I want the maps on my nuvi and my pc. When the download and install is done to my pc I get a screen with al lot of choices.

I think I'll wait 'till the A1 and Tyne Tunnel changes are through the system and then just buy a new sat nav.
I might well get a lifetime map update subby with it if there's any good deals on. Or one of the devices with a 'net connection ;- -- You cannot simply assume someone is honest just because they are not an MP.
