Hi all,
my neighbours given me his TOMTOM and asked if i can upgrade the software? Now i have no idea how to do this but i do know about PCs, is this software free? Does it depend on the type of TomTom? How do i upgrade it?!
Any help would be great!
thanks. |

Please look at the underside of the device and then report back what TomTom it is. _________________ Lutz

Your initial question was about software. Software updates are free.
Map updates are not free. _________________ Lutz
