After purchasing a new GB map I finally managed to download it, expecting it to be v605 as posted on this thread but after installing I am seeing V562 which is the same as the version that came with my Tom Tom 300.
Am I missing something here or just being stupid Sad

I have access to the download for 12 month, does this mean if there is a update it will be available free from same download within the 12 month period?

Best regards

I recently bought a TOMTOM GO 700 for my parents (we're talking two weeks ago) I was so impressed I have today ordered myself the same one.

I assume that the maps & software which is on my parents' and the one that will hopefully arrive in a couple of days for me is therefore already out of date?

Am I really going to be faced with an upgrade charge already?

No; if you buy a 700 now.

For your parents: depends on when exactly you bought it.

If after 20 Nov. then no. If before then yes.

david, when you order the 700, be sure to look out for rebates and discounts. I saw Best Buy has $85 in savings this week, but unfortunately I've spent all my money on xmas gifts.

and so i have this straight, you get 12 months of free downloads? that's not too bad considering the maps are usually great quality. tele atlas has to make a buck somehow.

No. There is no 12 month free upgrade period - the 12 months referred to above is simply the amount of time his download link is going to work for.

Out of the goodness of their hearts (!) TomTom have said that if you bought a system after 20th November 2004 they will upgrade you to the maps just released, but that is it.

well thats decent of TomTom. I guess I'm not sure which update of the Tele Atlas maps I have been using (i borrow it from someone at my office). Is there a way to know which version of the maps I have?

just had a response from TOMTOM to say they have no time to give for an update for the maps in my GO 700s (so I am assuming the new maps available for the less expensive TOMTOMs will be better than the ones on mine!? which is irritating) they also say if there are updates to the map it won't be free .. then gave me a link to a free download .. which was the updated o/s not a map.

confused?
they say :

	PocketGPS
	Web
