Can you not use someone elses PC and burn them to disk to transfer to your PC??

Can't see any reason it wouldn't work or is the transfer direct to the device?

Is it that much of a worry? My maps are nearly 2 years old - i'm adopting an every other year upgrade policy....

The maps are downloaded through TomTom HOME, so you will need to put the HOME program on the other computer.

I think you can only download thru TT home as this prevents illegal copies of maps appearing on the net. This forum does NOT condone the illegal copying of software. Please look here

Thank you for that reminder. However no-one is talking of illegally copying the software.
