Great thanks, also do you know if I get an america RNS 510 "3c0 035 684 e" is it any different than the LED European models beside the map? Can I still buy the american rns 510 and put European maps on it? Or do you need to change the firmware or is there no difference at all between that and this model for example "1T0 035 680 C" ? Thanks

American models won't work in this country. Apart from looking the same they're very different inside. Radio frequencies are different for a start.

I have a 'Revision H' LED screen one. When reading up on the part number I was led to believe that several revisions/iterations can all come under the same part number. Sorry I'm not making anything  clearer, more like muddying the water. :-S

Anyone know what iteration can still be loaded with the newest firmware and maps? I assume 1t0035680B can't run the latest firmware or maps?

Rev. B is capable of reasonable firmware updates, and latest maps can be used. Although it's old technology screen isn't as crisp as the later versions. And seeing the price some jokers are asking for B versions on Ebay, you're better off getting a newer one really.
