Typical, I thought I'd go for the 265WT, and they seem hard to get in the UK. The 265W isn't a problem to find, but that seems to be a different model to the T(raffic). Although, Amazon says the 265 ... |

TomTom Home is a .exe file. This is a M$ Windoze file format, so does not work on Linux.

Dennis/ Paul,
Thanks for your advice. I guess that's a fair point about all satnav's having deficencies. I'll have a look at the range you suggest.
I use Linux not Windoze, so updating a TomTo ... |

Thanks for your help, Darren. From reading about the Navigator 9000, I really thought the mapping was updated, too. Their sales blurb says that all updates are done OTA and that you don't need to co ... |

Ahh, this is just the camera updates, I was looking for mapping updates, too. Happy to subscribe, just can't use the HOME software.
Thanks,
Chris. |

Darren,
Can you tell me more, this sounds perfect?
I have an old TomTom with an SD card, and that does mount as a drive. Any more advice would be really appreciated.
Cheers,
Chris. |

Oldboy,
Should I be able to just download this and copy it across to my TomTom, like the previous upgrade?
Cheers,

Guys,
Are the maps related to the firmware version?
My firmware is now 6.525, but my map is V3.90.
Anyone know what version map postcode searches started with.
Cheers,
Chris.
