The PLUS maps are the newest ones publicly available. Should be at 632 (ish)

Yes, exactly. Whoevevr does Garmin's maps is obviously quicker and better informed than Tom Tom. I much prefer the Tom Tom software but the mapping company leave a lot to be desired.

I used the 6.32 plus maps of France for my first ever drive on the continent and the maps did not even have the road out of Boulogne docks which really threw me trying to find my way. It shows older roads that were replaced several years ago.

I agree, 632 of France has the Marne, but not the Marne canal, so I would have got rather wet if I'd followed instructions to cross a bridge that wasn't actually there.... Laughing

In Epernay, it tells you to go three sides of a square 100m+, rather than the 10m it should.... so it's not only the mapping that's wrong in places, but the mapping logic in place.

Not the same as my experience. I used the France Plus maps from Calais to the Vaucluse Department, and a lot of driving around while I was there. Also on a trip from Calais to Coulommiers (SE of Paris) with a lot of driving in a radius of 50 miles from there. In both cases almost problem free. On one occasion TomTom tried to direct me along a gravel track (which would have got me to my destination, but I declined and it quickly recalculated a more suitable route). On another day we got into a mess in a fairly small village where they had just introduced a new one way system - but there is no way that TomTom could be blamed for that!
About 3500 miles with two very tiny glitches - I thought it was terrific. Head and shoulders above CoPilot 6, which was showing major problems in France. It would not let you leave the motorways at certain exit points, which led to some crazy routing. CoPilot recently sent me some revised CDs which they hope have fixed the problems. I shall be trying them out in France very soon, so we shall see!
