Apparently, the Oceania (Australia & NZ) course maps have been moved from "Courseview Pacific" to "Courseview EMEAO" (Europe Middle East Africa Oceania).

Has anyone that has had Courseview for Europe noticed a change in the last 6-8 weeks ?  (eg EMEA changing to EMEAO ?)

    The current release of course maps should be displaying now as you are seeing them, as Oceania is how a part of the EMEA mapping.

    But I have CourseView Pacific - and Australian courses have just gone.  I was just wondering if someone that used to have EMEA has now noticed that they are EMEAO ?

    You would need to download the EMEAO maps, as golf courses in Australia are now a part of that courseview map bundle region and the mapping is no longer a part of the APAC region bundle of course mapping.

    The Approach G80 is designed to have all worldwide course map regions installed to the device, so if you have removed EMEA mapping you would need to reinstall that region so you have the EMEAO maps on the Approach G80.

    what do I need to do for an older device (Approach G3)

    Install course maps for EMEAO through Garmin Express as the region for course maps installed to your device, as that device may only offer one region per the storage available on that older model of device

    I only get offered CourseView Pacific, and the opportunity to re-install it.  Can the gmaprom.img file be made available for me to manually copy into my GPS ?

    Your specific Approach device may be region specific. The Approach G3 was released back around 2009/2010 timeframe where only one region could be installed to the device. If your device is set for APAC region specifically, then there may only be unlocks available for course mapping for that region.

    Same as for Approach G3 devices released specifically for the North America only having the option to store mapping for the North & South America, and units sold in Europe only having unlocks for one region. 

    Unlocks for course mapping are specific to the unit id number, and course maps cannot be sideloaded, they can only be released specifically for the device through Garmin Express per the unit ID number you have. 

    The Approach G3 was released at a time where only one region is available to be installed per the region edition that was purchased. There were not worldwide course mapping devices at that point in time. 

    I recommend giving support in your region a call to see if there are any other options available, as your device will likely not be able to have other regions unlocked for that specific device model.

    I am going to submit an inquiry on our end regarding if we can offer the option for that device to have EMEAO offered though and I will be in-touch after more info comes from our end. 

    Thank you,
