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.

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.

TomTom normally only update the maps for their PDA products once a year when they release the new software version too - around April next year you should be able to buy TomTom v4, with updated maps. Until then there are unlikely to be any map updates available from TomTom.
