You mean it isn't true?
Damn, you will be telling us Santa Claus isn't real next.

Guess what? Today, when I was 75 miles away from home, one of the Andys texted me to say "New Maps" - And I actually believed it! I was just a bit harsh with my reply when he later sent "Only Joking!"

Not guilty - must have been Andy_P!
If I knew your mobile number it would have been me though!
Anyone up for a bet on my prediction of Friday?
And like an idiot I checked at 7 this morning before leaving home just in case you had some inside info .......

I couldn't possibly say who it was, but it wasn't Andy_P.
DennisN's reply to the follow up "only joking" text was pretty much as expected

I'll take your money off you!! There's no chance of a new map this week. What we need is to catch hold of some Beta tester and sit him in front of a bright light, pump him full of truth serum and ask him if he's sent off his reports yet (or even, if he's received the Beta version yet!!! - the one and only time they let me into a map Beta was over a year ago and it arrived weeks after it was intended).
At least we know one way to get TT Support to tell us the truth - ask them if they know when the next new map is coming out and they'll say they don't know!

They might say "what's a new map?"

Tried that, he still didn't crack.
That NDA pill they give them is mighty strong and truth serum is ineffective against it.

Dennis, You need a new crystal ball mate - My money is on the 09/04/09 date, quite a way off for sure, but remember the last release was three or four weeks early - If the next one was a couple of weeks late then it will fit the calendar pattern - Mike |

Try the Honey Trap. The Russians used sexy women to persuade Agents to spill the beans. He will talk.

Here, hang on! Isn't that the magic Netherlands never ending Easter bank, train, bus, office, TomTom holiday? Didn't they do that last year? Release something notable then shut down for a week's holiday, with "out of office" auto-answer responses on the Support website? I'm tempted to put a few crisp ones on that date too - after all, they're bound to be bringing out the x50 range soon after Easter Monday (wonder if it'll work?).
So everybody with a new TT who's hanging on for the 30 days LMG can pack their bags and steal away into the night, cos' it ain't never gonna happen.

If that fails, we take a pair of pliers to their fingernails.
Yes, we're that desperate to know the release date... |

Yep, that's why this is so upsetting. I bought my 930 back in mid-December (good deal) and waited until the end of January to turn it on so I could get the new maps. Now it's looking like that might not happen anyway, and I could have had an extra 6 weeks of use out of it during the holidays! |

But why?
It will be the usual story.... There will be quite a lot of minor road changes, but you can guarantee that the particular ones that bother you won't be fixed. That's life! |
