Southern Ireland

Does anyone know of any TomTom maps that provide detailed coverage of Southern Ireland. Not just Dublin. Whilst on the subject of Ireland, the same would be useful for Northern Ireland, not just Belfast.
I have the Great Britain map and Great Britain Plus Map. Is that the best available?

When I last heard Tom Tom coverage of Ireland outside of a few main cities was very poor - am told co-pilot is best.

I would like full coverage of even just Dublin. I know it's available, just look at Google maps.

But the best TomTom can do is major roads it seems. Even though they specifically mention Dublin as being part of the Great Britain plus map.

Copilot 6 is definitely the best product for Southern Ireland. It has the Dublin area fully mapped and other major ciites such as Cork and Limerick fully mapped too. Areas with the most detailed maps are around the coast. The more in-land towns and cities really have only the main roads going through them.

Almost all towns and the smaller cities such as Kilkenny, Carlow, etc, are not mapped apart from the main roads

To put this in percentage, it has 39% of the country mapped in the Copilot product.

Motorway, National and Regional roads are all mapped but 99% of the backroads are not.

Northern Ireland has got 100% coverage in CP6.

If you want 100% coverage of Southern Ireland your best bet is to look at www.mapquest.com

As far as I know this is the best website for maps of the Republic.

Thanks, may as well stick to GB Plus Map and a paper map (If anyone remembers them things!!) Not worth investing in a new product that only covers 39%.

Anyone got any information on when TomTom will include the Republic of Ireland in their maps?

www.mapquest.com have it mapped pretty well so the data must exist!

Thanks

Drove all over the republic last year. TT was next to useless. Medion at least gave me the major (and some minor) roads.
