Anyone know whether such maps exist? I use a Nuvi 660.

did you already try plotting a route into central london to see if it warns you? or from east to west london with the "no toll roads" option enabled (assuming the nuvi has that option?)
Thanks munky! Will try option one tonight - don't recall seing the boundaries show on the map itself but it might give an alert. Will check option too also.

Drove from SW London into town last night - no audiable warnings re entering the CC at all (and nothing on the map! Ummm, didn't check your suggested toll-road setting yet, will look later but its looking like the Garmin Nuvi 660 ignores Ken Livingstone's most unpopular creation!

My Tomtom (Go 700) will warn of the Kengestion charge zone. It did this even with outdated maps and software.
I don't think however, that it gives any graphical indication of where the zone is. But still, you have the opportunity to bypass the zone, if you choose.
I expect all the later Tomtom versions would do exactly the same thing.

P,
Thanks, not going to change models for this though. Have sent question to Garmin...

Bought a nuvi 660FM at the weekend, never have cause to drive into the congestion zone during chargeable hours but did run a simulation on it last night, and it did beep and flash the title bar red when entering the zone, although it didn't say why..
Ah, getting closer to an answer then munky! But surely it should say why?!
