I have a TomTom One v2 Europe, which has NavTeq maps, and when I bought it, I was pleased to discover that a number of mapping errors in my TT5 TeleAtlas map, which I had reported to TeleAtlas over 18 months ago, were not present in the NavTeq version.
I recently copied TomTom across to a 2 GB SD card (problems with this described in another thread) and was surprised, the first time I connected with the 2 GB card to TomTom Home, to be offered a download of the TeleAtlas Great Britain Plus map (200 MB). As I now had room on the card I decided to accept, so installed the new map. The device now recognises my original NavTeq Western Europe map v652.1185 and the new TeleAtlas Great Britain Plus v632.0 However, I was disappointed to find that on the TeleAtlas map, downloaded today, there were still the same errors as I had reported to them in about July 2005. Needless to say, I will stick with the NavTeq Western Europe map when navigating in UK.

Good point. There was no charge. It simply appeared on the list of available downloads when I plugged in to TomTom Home, having installed a 2GB SD card. Presumably it did not appear before as there was no room on the original 1GB card which came with the machine

I have just realised why the GB Plus map appeared as a download when I connected my TT1 to TomTom Home. Prior to buying TT1 I used TomTom on a PDA and last spring bought the latest GB Plus map as a download for my TTN5. That must still have been available for download and TT Home found it when I logged on. The only thing which baffles me is that a map which I originally bought for TTN5 works with TT6, which I have in my One
