Hi Liam,

Not sure yet, we haven't yet got the new Filters from Telcontar for the 2005.1 maps for either the US or Europe. The maps are available but we are waiting for the new filters, which should be released any day now. But since the 2005.2 maps are due out shortly we just may wait a little longer and release the most recent maps. Not sure depends on if another new filter is required or not and how long that will take.
As for the Europe POI's we will extract the POI's from the map data which is limited in numbers. We are still trying to get the extended POI's like we have for the US for Europe but it is proving difficult to obtain.

We use maps from Tele Atlas. We typically release updated maps once a
year and that is the goal for points of interest as well.

The price is different for each update because it depends if there is
software improvements released at the same time. Thus far, updates
have ranged from $69 to $199.
