Anyone else received this e-mail from TomTom?

As you were everyone, apparently it's the improvements that are free - I must try not to get over excited whenever I receive an e-mail from TomTom...

I received this too, so will this finally fix the problems us x40 users have been having?

I've got a 550 Live (using my correct email address) and I haven't received this e-mail from TT about the HD Traffic improvements.

Thanks.....can still hope...

Edit: just checked TT's Forum. A 550 owner got the email. Over there they seem to think HD is going to become free [Ha], or that it is the HD traffic webpage which is going to get the upgrade.

I read spook51's email as a device software upgrade of some sort.

I had an app update on my GO 1000 this morning 10.115.662791.74

While watching traffic on the M40 J9, it did seem to update quickly with changes to the delay in some cases after 2 or 3 minutes.

Also I was offered to change the route twice, but not sure about any improvement as I don't usually have traffic delays on my commute.

Hi Guys

I got the e.mail as well

I am running a 540 but just clicked the link on the e.mail, it is the 22nd after all and no update showing.

Anyone else got the HD Update refered to in their e.mail.

Thanks

Paul
