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. Confused

Hopefully somebody with a genuine retailer copy can tell us what map version you get with TTNav 6. Smile

Regards,

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. Rolling Eyes

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?
