PLUS maps include both the country data (in this case Great Britain) and Major Roads of Europe. So you get detailed data for your country and a more basic map of the remainder of Europe.

It's fine for navigating City to City across the continent but will not know the finer details of towns and villages.

So as I have GB Plus installed - is that why the map of france looked so undetailed? Because it was using the major roads one and not the proper one?

Correct, at the end of the day it's better than nothing and allows cross border navigation.

Yeah - was just that I had installed the French map and didnt realise it wasnt using it - was just dissappointed with the detail level but if it is the major roads that explains a lot!! Will have to go check it out (have now found the 'switch maps' option Rolling Eyes )

Thanks for the reply.

I was confused by this as well. TomTom have not done a good job explaining what the (Plus) maps are for.

Do I correctly conclude that, if you're going to install multiple maps, you only install one (Plus) map?

That is the usual setup. If you travel to France from the UK, you would use France Plus and UK 'normal' maps.
