Hopefully someone can help me out here.

I have a US model 700BT that I use in Europe.

Little over a year ago I did some modding in my nav screens, settings, etc, and downloaded the EU maps and loaded them, including other voices etc.

Today I updated to 2.0008 (?) and gone are my maps and mods....

Are they trashed? are they overwritten? are they still on there?

now what!?

Whenever you update the firmware (Pioneer issued, legal copy) the mods get deleted and a new data.zip is installed by default. The new firmware should have also included maps and the license to allow the maps to load. If you bought it, Pioneer should be able to help you through the issues you've encountered. Otherwise, you need to search this forum for others that have had similar issues and see if a working solution has been accomplished.

I'm searching like crazy, but some threads are so long, one cannot find the info he's looking for.

Anyway.

I need to check my back ups some where if I still have my modded data file.

probably not.

maybe this would be a good moment to upgrade to 3.0

That's possible right?
