I bought my copy a couple of months back sadly when it wasn't on promotion and received a code by E-mail. Maybe Talknav buy so many licences and are having a promotion? I don't know the ins and outs of buying bulk licences and whether you have to sell them within a certain time, I just know what I read!

Hi Dean, While stocks last? What does that mean? It is an electronic downloadable product.

Price and it has a screen and can be converted into a standard in car GPS in seconds so a taxi driver could make sense of it. Talknav are selling it for £200 down from the usual £259 at the mo while stocks last.
