No chance. It could be done but required many man hours in getting data in the right format. Get a basic tomtom and use this database or similar. The only use for the talex/novus now is a real speed r ... |

Anybody heard that Novus has gone bust? The website has disappeared (but I haven't looked since the updates stopped). Just goes to show just how much "free lifetime updates" are actually worth ... |

The new Novus site now has the downloads updated to new version so it looks like they are still in business. Any info on why the new site/name etc, it certainly looks as if they have sold out or been ... |

Interestingly I can't find any of the previous 1 year/3 year subscription offers on the Talex site. If I click on the enable box in the update page (obviously without entering details) it says direct ... |

Hi, and thanks for that info. I don't actually use their data much but it's good to have a backup!
