|
|
Just wondering if someone knows when the TOMTOM 2007 maps will be issued.
Is it wised to buy the 6.6 maps now (which are 2006 I think), or are there 2007 maps "scheduled" already ?
when were the 6.6 maps issued ?
Many Thanks ! |

You will have quite a wait for any newer map than 660 it was released late Nov 2006 so is about as up to date as you can expect. Have a look HERE for the press release - Mike |

thanks a lot, Mike.
Ill try going for the 6.6 ... but TOMTOM is not very "customer oriented".
I have a basic GO, and spent lot of money already for my first Maps of western Europe, then the 2005 upgrade !!
Now I have to pay 99 euros again for the 6.6 maps !!! |

Just watch which map (s) you download as the full street Level Europe map is just under 1GB - make sure you have a good high speed internet connection also check the size of your memory card, you might want/ need to add the cost of a new SD card to the upgrade - Mike |

exactly ...
the only advantage I'll get (I think) with the new 6.6 maps is that the Europe is "continued), and I won;t have to switch the maps to get detailed countries - which is fine since I need to to from Belgium to Italy this year ..
I'm just worried about the fact that TOMTOM offered 20% reduction on the maps till december 2006 (I never got that information).
Now I also need to buy a new 2GB SD card (which is another 30 euros).
This is reallybecoming expensive.
I understand people doing hacking and getting cracked maps on emule or others ! |
