I have a querry with regard to TTN ver 5 - Does it allow the finding of locations by the inputing of Ordinace Survey (OS) grid refs?

No. You will need to use another program to convert OS coordinates into Lat/Lon, and then yet another to convert the Lat/Lon list into POI files (or use my itinerary workaround)

TT4 in the Navigation pack included al lthe maps of Europe as far East as Finland, Germany, Austria and Italy. The problem is that the maps are useless until you uinlock them through TT's online activation system. I refused ot do this as I wanted the Benelux Maps but could not buy them seperatly. You need ot pay to activate all the maps even if you never intend to drive in Portugal for example. I expect TT5 will work the same way.

Googlebot,

You might be pleasantly surprise when they announce the upgrade offer because I called TomTom regarding issue I had and asked the guy who was helping me and he confirmed that they will include the Full WE maps. Cannot confirm the 59 Euro price though. TomTom will not officially announce this but they do confirm this when asked.
