There is a new one along soon. It'll be announced on www.tomtom.com
Don't count on it being significantly more up to date. |

I can go and pick up almost any map from a shop and i know the roads are on there, google maps have got the roads that are missing so why doesn't everyone one else, google prove that it can be done, tomtom charge a lot of money for their products, the least they could do is spend some on keeping the maps uptodate.
If they put some energy into it they would know what roads have changed over the year and they could update their maps acordingly.

There's a lot more to creating a Navigation Map than drawing it. For a start, there's over a 100 pieces of data collated for each junction-to-junction stretch of road.

TT are charged by TeleAtlas for the Maps and it's TeleAtlas who keep the Maps uptodate.
