|
|
I am just wondering if anyone knows if the new Tom Tom 6 has street level maps of NI, my friend had TOM TOM 5 and it only does Belfast but is useless for anywhere else in the country. Another friend has TomTom v2 on a tomtom 1 and it has excellent maps of NI.
I would buy tom tom for my PDA if it had good coverage of NI |

i have a TomTom One (V2) and can confirm that it does seem to have full street level coverage of NI and Eire. whether it's accurate or not i am unsure but there's definitely an improvement over TT5 maps on PPC for irish coverage.
sorry it doesn't answer your question - hopefully someone with knowledge or experience of TT6 on PPC can tell you what you need to know! |

Thanks mate!
I emailed the wonderful people at TomTom, and they say there will be no street level maps of NI and Eire available for TT6 and their best advice is to buy a TT1 v2.
Oh well, anyone got any good suggestions for decent PDA GPS software that covers NI? I have AA navigator but its a bit annoying! |

Hi crashtestjonny,
I think that the TomTom ONE NE GB comes with Tele Atlas v660.1199 maps, which includes Northern Ireland and Eire. Hopefully minion can confirm this!
However, I don't think that TomTom Navigator 6 GB comes with the same maps, I'm not sure whether the map data that comes with TTNav6 actually includes Northern Ireland and Eire or not.
Hopefully somebody with a genuine retailer copy can tell us what map version you get with TTNav 6.

I have just bought TomTom One v2 Europe (cheaper than a new PDA plus upgrade from TT5 to TT6!). It seems to have good street level mapping for NI and Eire. If you want to give me a few test addresses I'll try them out for you

i can confirm that my TT1 v2 map is 'United_Kingdom_and_Republic_of_Ireland' V660.1199. this is the regional version, ie, the uk & ireland one.
browsing through towns and cities in NI there does seem to be good street level detail covered. |

Hi Robin2,

Don’t forget that the TomTom ONE NE Europe unit uses Navteq map data where as the TomTom ONE NE Regional unit uses Tele Atlas data.

Thanks for all the help guys!!
I think the tom tom 1 V2 is probably the best one for me, since it has good coverage of NI and Eire.
Can anyone tell me where the best place is to buy one? |
