Hi
My tt has given up on me so just about to order the 550, now I know this comes only with maps of the UK but if I wanted to do could I get other maps to work with it via a sd card ?? as might be working in France later this year.

Many thanks

Lyngarth

The best price I have seen is £212:00 can anyone better this ??

Maps on a MicroSD card will work fine on the device, it can accept cards up to and including 32GB in capacity although you should only need a card of around 4GB capacity for that device - Mike

Hi
Thanks for the info, just one more thing, not sure if you can help. I have just paid for the new map updates, for the next year, first download last week 845, now this is for the full maps on my 920 t so if I got the 550 can i carry over the updates and would they be only for the uk map, OR if I went for the 750 would the updates get carried over to the new tomtom???

many thanks,

Lyngarth

P.S Thanks for the link, Paulday, will make up my mind tomorrow and order then.

If you contact TomTom support and provide some evidence that your 920T is no longer working, they will probably allow you to transfer the balance of your map subscription to the new 550. Many people have reported that this was allowed.

Transferring maps etc should be done automatically
