And if you are a Navigator 5 user - it includes an update to version 6 :D

Hi TheBrit
Yes, and even more importantly one can get the maps without installing TT6. So it satisfies everyone, those who want TT6 and those who prefer TT5 (like me).

Hi,

I was at Halfords this morning & was told that the UK regional tomtom one's were locked so that no additional maps could be purchased and loaded, but the european TT one could, however, if you select TT one regional from TT's website than additional maps are available for purchase, can anyone clarify if the TT one regional (ie uk/irl maps only) will accept additional maps as tomtom's website implies.

The guy was adamant about it as he said he had tried it and it wouldnt accept it. who is right?

The chap at Halfords is talking rubbish as usual! No TomTom devices are locked in such a way. You do of course have to activate a new map but if it's a legal purchase with the activation codes then there is no problem doing that.

Hmmm, I suspected as much, its just that he was so adamant that the regional only (as opposed to the full europe) TT one (v2) was locked in some way.

I'll go & make my purchase now.

Thanks for coming back to me so quickly.

No probs, at least you knew were to ask, I wonder how many other sales are lost as a result of misinformed 'experts' like him!

What it says is "only new maps (version 6.6) can be used with Navigator 6", not "new maps can only be used with Navigator 6". Word order does have an effect on meaning, you know Wink

alan_sh has not realised that there are two versions of the latest maps
1. For people with compatible devices, a free upgrade to TT6 and a set of maps which work with TT6
2. For people with devices which are not compatible, an updated set of maps which will work with their existing TT5
This is a very imaginative idea which TomTom have never employed before. Had I realised that they were going to do this, I would probably not have abandoned my iPAQ 2210 and bought a TomTom One v2 Europe. However, I am delighted with my purchase and find it more convenient than the previous setup

Hi alan_sh
Prior to me downloading the seamless maps of Western Europe for TT5 I fortunately read advice on this forum on how to proceed when wishing to download for TT5 and not TT6. If I hadn’t seen that advice I have no doubt that I would have made a cock-up and finished by installing TT6 too.

I did not use Tomtom Home and just followed the prompts on the main Tomtom Plus map page. The trick was to click on 'other' as my device (not my Dell Axim x51v) and the download followed. This Forum is wonderful at coming up with hints and tips and has helped me many times..

OK - well, based on the information here, I have purchased (yes, legally) the new WE map for use with my TT5 app (also legal!).

Here's hoping it all works OK.

And guess what - it does not recognise the activation code.

I have tried it with and without the spaces.

Can anyone help?

I was entering the wrong product code. That's what you get for not reading instructions.....
