Just got off the phone with Garmin. Sounds like this new release is gonna be 100 bucks flat and will have updated City Select data and all area unlocked... Buying the unlock code now would be a waste of money as you'd still need to spend the 100 later to get the updated data...

Also, the base maps that are in the V can't be upgraded without a chip swap. Bummer.

Lastly, the guy said that there's an upgrade for the V that is being worked on now - he couldn't give a date, but it's in Beta now. Wish I could get on that Beta team...
