Direct from kenwood!
Always cheapest

However they update the maps late in the year so expect the 2015 in the autumn

Cheers for that I'll hold out a little longer now

Thanks for all the advise so far I've got the map update but now I've discovered I need to update the garmin firmware and also the kenwood firmware to 1.4 which has thrown a spanner in the works.
I can sort the garmin update as it's just done with an sd card but I don't have a cd/DVDs writer on my netbook so does anyone know if you can update the kenwood firmware via usb?

I'm pretty sure it all has to be done by USB, all updates on my head unit I've read to use us. Instead of sd card

After reading the precautions part on this http://www.kenwood.com/cs/ce/mm/firmware/2010/2010c/pdf/10NAV_MM_R_FWverup_en.pdf
Usb seems to be a no go but I was hopeful some else has used a usb successfully.
It looks like I'm off to buy an external cd writer

If that's what they say then use a cd, I haven't done any firmware updates but always stick with what they say

Did you get the latest map updates FOC? would you possibly be able to show me where you got them

I think I have got the maps mate but I wont know for sure if its working until I update my unit. If it is the updated maps and all is working well I will send you the files if you want because they are a nightmare to get hold of.

Yeah if it works you'd be a super star.
