915 Europe downloaded in about five minutes this morning on VM 60MB:-) Suspect it may take longer once word gets out and the servers clog up...

UK & ROI v915.5074 - downloaded and installed in less than 5 minutes. I wish I knew how long my map update subscription is good for - I would have sworn the last map (v910) was the end, but apparently not. Means my GO550 Live cannot be retired yet as the Live services run until August 2014.
I didn't get a new zip file (postcodes).

Login to TTs site and, under MyTomTom, look in My Orders. Pick the most recent order, and it will tell you the date and what you ordered.

For me, carrying out a second update offered the postcodes!

Ergo it now sees you have the 915 map which is why it NOW offers these |

Which appears not to have been DennisN's experience.

You'll get an offer for a new subscription when you've had your last map from the current subscription.

Just to update you...
I did as Richard suggested and found I did the map update service in February (I had been trying looking at my emails, but so many I couldn't sort the chaff from the wheat, plus, I bought a new "Refurb" one since then and used the same email registration so the map and Live got transferred).
Then I downloaded postcodes from that link and learned a new skill - what to do with a .CAB file!
Ho hum. Now off to Renault to see what's to be done with their satnav in my brand new van - not supported by TT, only Renault. I have already been waiting three weeks (tomorrow) for Renault support, so I forsee many naughty words. Map is v905, van is 1st August 2013, SD card is 4GB of proprietary format stuff which I can't even copy, never mind read!

Dennis, I'd be interested to know at what time you did the dowload. I did mine yesterday at about 9:45am. I have a fast Pc and a 40mb isp supply. It took me 10 minutes to download the 3Gb European map file and a further 40 minutes to install it onto my 1005 Live.
I don't know how big the Uk and ROI maps are but 5 minutes is quicker than I can achieve for a MapShare downlod and install.
Many Thanks
Alan |

The OP posted at 8:11am on Tuesday, I didn't see the post immediately and I had finished my download soon enough to post by 8:49am.
