Talking of map coverage does anyone know if Navigator 5 DEFINATELY includes Major Roads of Europe? I cant find any mention of it on the TomTom site but globalpositioningsystems.co.uk mentions it in their specification.

Is there any way to check out the maps before paying for an upgrade? Is there a website where I can look at maps to see if the new roads in my area are included for example?

I too would love to know what date the maps are made upto.

there's lots of bitching about the maps in the Go forum - but as they had later maps than navigator to start with we maybe happier.

Based on past issues, you can generally expect roads that have been open for less than 3 years (especially housing estates etc) and less than 9 months (major roads) to be missing.

Of course you can also expect a whole load of new errors to appear on perfectly good older maps! Crying or Very sad
