Italy in total is 240MB.
I bought a 'PowerRunner' - very expensive - but charges the iQue three times before needing recharging. The PowerRunner can be used connected to the iQue and used as if on car charging while walking. It also charges the digital camera.
CitySelect Europe v7 has very improved Italian coverage!

If you are touching down in the UK on the way, you are welcome to use my iQue with CS6 europe installed. You'll have to provide the power supply items but you are welcome to use my iQue. It sits in my desk at home. Let me know if you want to use it.

thank you very much bokkie
your generosity is overwhelming.

I dont have my tickets as of yet, however i will probably be picking them up this week, I need to find time to see my travel agent for the cheapest tickets possible.

i plan on visiting France, Germany, Italy and hopefully Switzerland.

since i'll probably be staying is hostels. i dont think ill bring my laptop.

how much did you pay for the power pack by the way?

I don't have any additional power packs as you call them, just the gewone (regular) iQue cradle charger. If you were aiming for the UK as a springboard I'd be happy to get my iQue to you but getting it across the channel into europe would probably be a lot of trouble. Let me know if you want to take it though.

Bokkie;
I will also be visiting England soon, to take a tour of Crawley and I'll be flying in so I won't have a car.......come to think of it, I'm not bringing the wife either........:D

Don't think I can bring beer on the plane so please fill up the car, get my iQue ready and make sure me and misses have plenty to drink. Let me know when your visiting Atlanta so I can warn my wife and invite my Aunt "Bubba" to entertain you.

...to take a tour of Crawley...

You poor bugger, and a very stoopid one to boot. Noone comes to Crawley, unless you bring angst with you. It's a seriously uncool town to visit. Pitsville, pop 50, in the middle of Montana has more to offer.
:D

...and invite my Aunt "Bubba" to entertain you.

The mind boggles.:eek:
