Like what? - if you wait too long you might end up with the v810 map being given to you in a few months time, I would get it now while you can make good use of it - Mike |
I have now asked TT support for my Free map, but they are giving me the runaround, so I don't have high hopes of getting anything.  |

After much blood,sweat and tears (well serious nagging ) I finally got credited with v810 maps today. All downloaded and installed ready to test on my way home. Only took 2 weeks of emails and phone calls to the helpdesk but keep persisting  |

My support question has been ignored, the escalated and today they have refused to help, and without any prompts they said I have to 'keep emailing the beta team'.
So they know that they are not answering my emails.... I'll get shot down for saying this but I now have no issues with running my hacked map until they decide to issue the map they have promised me back in April. |

I don't know if this will be any use to you, but here is the address of the technical test team.
technicaltest@tomtom.drive-ux.net
You might like to try pestering them, saying they promised you the map and even though it was released for sale to x20 owners you still haven't been given your free map.
Here also is one of the e-mails Quote: | Dear TomTom tester,
This is the end of this product trial. However, you can continue to mail TomTom Customer Support with any remarks or questions you have in the future concerning this trial. We would really appreciate it if you continue using the trial software to send us your trip reports. We will give you notice when we are no longer able to process your data and you can stop reporting.
In future we hope we can rely on you again for further research concerning our (new) products.
When you have filled in both questionnaires you are eligible for a reward. You will be able to download a free map update with the IQ Routes technology from mid-April. You also receive an update of the software. The map will then be assigned to your ‘MyTomTom account’ and can be downloaded through TomTom HOME.
We will send you an email around 29 April with exact details about the map and software downloads.
Click here to open the online questionnaire.
(Please fill in this questionnaire before Sunday, 6 pm.)
Thank you for helping TomTom make better products!
Confidentiality Notice:
note that you are not allowed to share any information about this product according to the NDA.
Best regards,
The TomTom-Team |
Here is yet another address...
technicaltest.support@tomtom.com
They really are the pits over this. Keep pestering everybody you can find. I DID get my free map after pestering. _________________ Dennis

Got this reply today from TT support so given up with them.
I will try that other email as suggested by DennisN...........
Dear xxxxx
Thank you for contacting TomTom Customer Support
Currently the free map update is not yet available for Beta Software testers. If you have emailed trial.support@tomtom, you will be contacted when the map update is available.
Many apologies for the inconvenience.

I think it's only fair that you Brits receiving the beta map code all head over to DennisN's house right now and each of you buy Dennis a pint at the local pub. It's the least you can do since, clearly, TT had enough of his (successful) complaining and just knew this was the ony way to stop the calls!  _________________ David |
