From reading on some other forums,
it appears that folks have received a map update
called 2011.10 - released on 4/12/10
But it doesn't list out on the Garmin website.

--
Why would Garmin name and release a map update
calling it "2011" when we've just started 2010 ???
Seems really odd to call it 2011 vs 2010.50 ??

What will be released in the late fall - 2012 ??

Most likely, it will be 2011.40. For whatever reason, when Garmin got
to rolling out the new maps for the Nuvi's, they jumped a year ahead.

Can't fathom why, but they did. To change back now, would be rather
difficult since they have a full set of 2010.'s out there from last year.

Just remain (semi) confident in the fact that if your mapset file name
is a year ahead of the current year, you're probably close to current.

If you go to your newsagent this week you'll probably see magazines
for June 2010 - it's the crazy world of the marketing folk.

I've noted that some of my units tell me that my maps are out of date
... PERHAPS the identification is last month before a power-up notice?
