Tom Tom upgrade for PDA

[Howarduk]

I was under the impression that this was forthcoming. I read September/October. Well that has come and gone and still no news. I really would like to know the price of the TT6 upgrade, although as my particular PDA isnt even on the approved list I most probably wont bother, however, as I'm going to California next year I need to download the maps and also need to know if the maps on the TomTom site will also work with TT5 as well as TT6.

I doubt that TT6 will be available as an upgrade as TT are going to produce map upgrades for TT5. I just gave up and went for TT6 retail in the end although to be honest it is more like TT5.3 than a TT6.

Whilst TT6 has a few minor bells and whistles that TT5 does not have, it still has less than TT3. The maps are newer although I have not experienced any changes where I have driven and the only advantage I can see in the new maps is having a seamless full detail map of Western Europe.

Unless you have the money burning a hole in your pocket, it is probably not worth changing from TT5 to TT6 at full retail prices. I suppose as I have paid in full for TT6 I am entitled to have TT5 on another PDA and my other half can use that in her car.

It would be most useful if Tomtom would officially give *some* idea of when this rumoured map upgrade for V5 owners is coming out. Like the original poster, I have been waiting (im)patiently since TT6 was released for news of upgrades, for which the rumour mill changes on a weekly basis. I'm not criticising in any way those who have passed on the news as it happens, but the lack of formal announcements from TT is galling.

For me, there was a major road improvement in my area last year that I understand is included on the new maps. The cost of an upgrade (or purchase of TT6) is worth it for that alone, but I would rather know the cost/timing of the option between a new product (TT6) and a TT5 map upgrade.
