nialag, that's good to know! Thanks! So you are running French version of MS Windows, and Garmin Mobile PC user interface is in French language? Do you remember if the installation asked you for your language preference?

I was surpise because nothing on and in the box was in french...

Cool! I wonder how many other languages are supported this way!

It looks like at least French, Spanish, German and Italian. At least those are the other languages that manuals are available for. .... Yes, if you look at the things that were added in the 5.00.10g update it says that support for British English, French, Italian, Spanish and German were added.

Nice. I wonder if the user interface, not just the voice prompts, supports all the above languages.

Good question. There has been a several pages long discussion on this confusing topic: Garmin Mobile PC Activation Limit

Alain,
That answer was for travelbug.

I don't see anything on the Garmin site about buying licenses for Mobile PC. I suggest you phone them. 1-866-429-9296
