Where can we get a map of Malta for Tom Tom 720?

We were "sort of mislead" by a web advert for the Tom Tom 720. It implied that the Western Europe map included Malta. The satellite image definately shows the island of Malta, so they were part right - but there is no map.

Tom Tom say they "don't do Malta yet" - so does anyone else "do Malta" that will work on a Tom Tom 720?

Any advice, guidance or tips would be most welcome.

Afraid not.
The only maps that will work on a TomTom are those supplied by TomTom themselves.
Although the raw map data is supplied by other companies (mainly TeleAtlas for TomToms), the actual map used HAS to be created by TomTom.

Garmin 'do' Malta. Can Garmin maps be converted to TomTom ?

Afraid not. Each manufacturer will only allow their own maps to be used as stated above and there is no way to convert maps from one the other.

Having driven around Malta and Gozo I can say I'd never take my eyes off the road to read a SatNav.

Though the first day is quite daunting and once you are sure where your appartment is, its great fun there.

I'd just like to say, Malta and especially Gozo is the WORST holiday destination ever... tourists should avoid it like the plague.(especially whenever I'm there Wink

Not nice of you to say that. Obviously you're not one of the increasing number of tourists (+23% in Jan. 08 alone) that come to Malta and keep on coming again and again.

I think that Andy was trying to keep others away so thet there would be plenty of room for him when he 'comes again'. Yo obviously missed the 'wink' Wink

I have two daughters, 10 & 13, they've been to Disneyland Fl and Gozo. Gozo is their choice destination for this year.

We had a taxi take us from the airport to our villa in Gozo. This was a very good idea on our part as this would have been stressful. The hire car was delivered to us next morning. We never needed a sat nav though we had a tourist map. If we got lost we just drove on until we came to the next place to swim.

I hope the place never goes commercial. It was great not having kids asking for things all the time.
