Free Maps Update

I have just purchased a Fully refurbished Tomtom 910 from Total PDA. The unit has been 100% fully refurbished by Tomtom, with full manufacturer`s warranty,(12 months).
Do you think I could get a free maps upgrade from Tomtom as this is as a new unit! Thanks, Mike.

You could try, but other than TomTom offering a map for having the cheek to ask for one, I think you will find the answer is no.

The x10 series were never sold with a map update card, and I cannot see them introducing such a system for refurbished devices, what map version is installed on it out of interest? - Mike

If the original owner of a refurbished TomTom had taken advantage of a 'latest map' offer I doubt that you'd be offered another!

Hi Mike, Thanks for the reply. It has ver:7.161, how old is that?.
When it arrived everything was sealed as new, I do not think it had been used. Thanks again, Regards, Mike.

That is the software version not the map version, start the device and tap the sat strength meter lower right corner), on the next page that is displayed is a small box on the right that will say Version 7,161 tap the version box and you will be presented with more information including the map name and version - Mike

Sorry about that Mike, had a hard weekend. Map:`Western and Central Europe`v660.1219. Thanks, Mike.

That is quite an old map compared to what is now available, for example there have been five map releases since v660, the latest for your device is v720 - Mike

It would be worth clicking on latest map guarantee in the HOME tools menu to see what happens.

There is another post in the forum concerning refurbed units where the latest map guarantee is available. Ok the poster is talking about a later model than the 910 however you can only try.
