Maps beyond Europe

[djohnson]

I refer to the following press release March 10 2005 by AND

See http://www.and.com/company/press/item61en.php or scroll to the bottom. It's basically is saying that maps beyond Europe such as Turkey are available in the latest Tom Tom Go package.

However, the Tom Tom web site does not show anything beyond what has already been available.

I've put the question to Tom Tom directly and am awaiting their reply. And also asked specifically if these maps will be available in the next release of Navigator for PPC. Version 5.

Does anybody else know more about this? Press release below.

I wonder how much they are going to charge for these extra maps. Assuming this is what happens.
