The Acer P630 we announced back in September 2006 are finally showing up at online stores in Europe prices ranging from €290 to €375.
The P630 comes from the P600 series which contains slim and portable navigation devices that integrate a bright 4″ display, which is great for navigation, viewing photos and listening to audio files.
For navigation the Acer P630 relies on the SiRF Star III GPS receiver for signal acquisition and ALK’s CoPilot 6 for software. The maps are provided by Navteq.

Recently bought one of these. Nice unit but the maps are now over 12 months old. Does anyone know if updated maps are available? If so from where and at what cost? Very little info on acer’s website.

I bought one two days ago, and realized too late what it meant that the map was “Q3 2006″. Have been trying to find updates at http://www.navteq.com/, but they have a process where you have to choose a device, and of course ACER is not an option…
Have you solved this problem dKane?

Update - I’ve been in contact with ALK-support, and it’s possible to buy map(s) for Europe here:
http://www.alk.eu.com/acer/no/default.asp
I am still a bit confused, though, because there is no information about the product. It’s essential to know when the maps that you’re buying were made/updated. Otherwise I guess you’re risking a purchase of the same maps that are already on your device…?
This is no option for me until I get some additional info. What I did find, however, was a free update file for safety cams - thats a bonus. I’m gonna try this when I get the device in hand.
ALK-support could also inform me that it is not possible to use maps for North America on the Acer P630!? That’s a serious bummer for me - as I’m going there for easter next year.
Well….
