Tom Tom Nav 5 Europe Maps?

I have just bought a IPAQ 2110, with Bluetooth TomTom Navigator 5. As I thought it had all the Major Roads in Europe - thats what is said on the advert!

However I cannot find them, when I tried to download them I can only get an area or city.

The Tom Tom Nav 5 upgrade on the website seems to read that you can upgrade and get all the maps I need - but it wont let me upgrade as I already have Nav 5 (I presume)!

I am driving from england to Prague at the end of the month and this was the main reason for getting Nav 5 - it doesnt seem to do what it says on the tin! Confused

Any suggestions please? Thanks

where did you buy Navigator 5 from? Did it come with CDs? If so, insert CD1 and select "Add maps"

I bought it from total gps, there is an installation CD in the box but no more maps on it, when I activated the system the GB map appeared. I have checked the switch maps icon, but there is only GB in there.

Sounds like you have 6 CD's missing!!

I just got the "upgrade" pack, it includes one application CD, and 6 CD's with Maps...

The retail version does not come with the Europe maps like the upgrade does. Unfortunately there is no word on when those maps will be available.

Thanks for the info - would I be able to uninstall the Navigator 5 and then try to get Nav 3 and install that, then get the upgrade?

Or are there Europe maps available from somewhere else that would instal on nav 5?

Hi Kizzy,

I think you will struggle to find any true TomTom Navigator 3 versions still available. Beware of eBay as many people will have already Upgraded their versions from Nav 3 to 5 and then will be selling the Nav 3.

Anyway would you be looking to pay an more to get Nav 3 and then pay for an upgrade as well? 8O
Only TomTom maps will work with TomTom products.

There is no official date for the launch of Navigator 5 Maps of Western Europe, however we will be expecting them soon after the Software only hits the shelves. I would hazard an educated guess at end of July.

Might be worthwhile waiting until then (unless you need them before hand)
