If I upgrade to a new Go 6200 or the Premium X can I use my Europe Camper map which I have on mini-SD card in my FW series 825? If not it's not worth me upgrading (even at your offer price for long service) as I need this version for my motorhome.

Hi @RobCorky2019
The Europe Camper map you have at the moment is tied to the serial number of the unit you have got it on. You cannot load it onto another unit even a similar model..
They do have a GO Camper unit which you can set for use in a Car or with a Car and Caravan , Light or Heavy Camper. With this unit if you select the last 3 options you can set the Height, Length and width of vehicles as well as weight and maximum speed. This unit has 4 Camper maps on it, including the European Camper Map, as well as 5 Poi files specific for the Caravan and Camper units one of which is the Campercontact Poi file. These 5 Specific POI files have their own Icons, like the old .bmp icons, which you can choose to show on the map. You can add your own POI files but you can only use one of the 5 POI icons available on the unit. These are not the same as the ones for the 5 Specific POI files.
I believe you cannot add the European Camper map to a standard GO6200 or the Premium models so you are unable to set dimensional info etc on them.

Thanks DougLap that does settle it. The Europe Camper Go version is about the same price as the Premium X at £379 BUT I'm being offered the Premium X at nearly £100 less than list as a "valued customer". Do I live without "Camper" facilities? Not sure.0

HI @RobCorky2019
I have got the GO Camper and have been very pleased with it so far. Have a look on Amazon, offering it to me there on Prime for £308.

We have a 825 which we bought the camper maps for , the latest maps have excellent details when coming to a intersection on a motorway. The maps change to a enlarged view of the traffic lanes and to which one you are required to travel on.
We have now bought a new GO Camper unit, BUT the maps and directions offered on this unit are inferior to the maps on the 825
We used the 825 recently to drive through six countries in Europe recently without fault
We hoped that the GO Camper would be Superior to the 825 and the maps on it but at the moment sadly not
Hopefully someone will read this and consider updating the information on the GO Camper0 -
