You would be better off posting this in the TomTom forums, but try visiting TomTom's website and look under support for info on upgrades. _________________ Ian.

Do you want them for free or are you willing to pay?
Question : How do you get an update to the year old paper atlas in your car without paying?
Answer : By stealing a new copy from a shop.
Same would apply to what you're asking here - you have the maps you paid for and should therefore expect to pay for any new maps when they are available - no mention is made by tomtom of free map updates anywhere on the literature for ttn3.
Tomtom have the best upgrade prices of any software company I have ever used so (if history repeats) it ain't going to cost you much when the maps are available - from 2 to 3 the upgrade for GB plus all detailed maps of Europe was £33 delivered .
The only reason for them to change their pricing structure would be widespread piracy - looks like we've come full circle.

Until then there are unlikely to be any map updates available from TomTom. |
