Just got and installed the new black ('00-'03) disc today. Here's the version info:

v2.30 (old):
-Database: 02.0403.08.051005.1401.01.00.00.02
-Software: 2.11.28

v2.40 (new):
-Database: 02.0502.09.071306.1402.01.00.00.02
-Software: 2.11.29

The bolded number represents the date the POI/Map database was finalized, so v2.30 is from 05/10/05 and v2.40 is from 07/13/06. Hopefully that will help you decide if the update is worth it in your area.

The software update is obviously very minor, if any. I didn't see any differences, and it might just be an incremental version because it is a new disc.
