 |
|
hi, i am a newbie here but looking for help!
i am travelling to france in 3 weeks and am looking for help regarding what maps version i should buy for this trip.
i own a classic tomtom go.
do i buy the maps of western europe or should i buy a dedicated card for just france?
it is likely that i would only want to ever travel to france.
i will need a detailed route so i believe the maps that came with classic only cover major routes
thanks in advance

There is a new MOWE due soon - the old one is getting hard to find. I wouldn't wait for the new one, as TomTom have let virtually everything slip in the past couple of months. You can buy new maps of France from the TomTom site, but they are slow to ship or respond to queries. (I ordered them when they were released (Tuesday I think) and mailed them on Wednesday to see if they had an estimated delivery date. Haven't heard anything yet.
Aparently you can buy the same maps direct from Telewest, get them in 2 days and spend 5 minutes updrading the firmware to get them to work. I am headoing for France in 2 weeks, so if I haven't heard from Tomtom by Monday I am going to buy the telewest ones |

Do you mean Tele West..? I got mine from Tele Atlas the makers of the maps for TomTom, and like you say a couple of minutes upgrading the firmware is all it takes with a delivery time of 48 hours. |
