I think we need the Z3 firware, the HD image only changed the maps, but all my settings are the same before. Hopefully they make an update for the z3 firmware
I've noticed subtle differences with my Z3 update, like library titling for instance. When I had the original Z1 image, all titles were in caps, but now I've got upper and lower case. I don't know if the Z2 had that or not. The voice pronunciation is a heck of alot better too.

Yep, already with the Z2 update they introduced upper and lower case for the keyboard....
They get them from Tele Atlas.
If you want them to update a region, simply go to their Map Insight / Update page and tell them:
Inferno, I have sent multiple notices on that teleatlas website since 2006 and and I don't think they even respond to those IMO.
One thing about the garmin is that it is GPS only with the Z1,2, and 3 it is much much more. For some reason this little GPS only units do way more than most all in one units, but do you get pissed at it when you can't slip a CD in or plug up your ipod? One day pioneer will come around, but until them I am still happy for the $900 dollars I spent.
I've tried some navis with the NavTeq mapping database it seemed better in overall detail and road accuracy.
BTW, still no one posted pics of the Z3 on this thread yet. 
My other car is an '06 Expedition with the factory Nav with maps provided by NavTeq. Those maps are terrible. However, google uses them and their website maps are always spot on. I assume google gets/pays for the top tier maps from Navteq whereas Ford has paid to licence old maps from Navteq. Their updates for the Fords are also pricey...$200.
