But that's not the standard across the wide range of available units which was my point.

Gentlemen:

Can any of you shed some light on the maps Navigator 6 will use in the USA?

Being new at this, I can't discern from the announcement if TomTom is making a big improvement or not. Are they changing map suppliers? Updating?

To date, the maps used by iGuidance seem to be much better (though I like the TomTom software better), and if TomTom switched, that would be a big plus.

various places offering a TTN6 download have said the version 6 maps are seriously lacking and also huge.

Been playing with v6 here, quite nice.

So now I know why TOmTOm were selling off version 5 software and maps of Europe through ipaq choice at only £75. (THough i see today that its gone up to £99.)

Do you know if TT vers 6 has the ability to input Latitude and Longitude coordinates that was removed with version 5. This is especially important to a lot of people especially those who use Campsites, Aires and Stellplatz on the continent as most guides now give the Lat and Lon coordinates.

As I have been on their Email list for the last 3/4 years or so, should I assume that I will be officially informed of this upgrade ??

How the hell do you enable the Overspeed indicator on main roads?

This is supposed to be on my one as well but I cant see it, even after enabling all extra options.

to get the speed data you need a v6 map as the data is contained within the map not the application

Yeah, I found the lock display thing, I just though the overspeed indicator was some sort of beep when you hit a certain speed. I have maps version 650.

Can anyone confirm that the 'NAVIGATOR 6 - Software & Maps of Western Europe' version is using/going to use NAVTEQ map data. Just been on the TomTom website and the tab for 'Maps & Coverage' say 'TeleAtlas' but the image is the one normally associated with NAVTEQ ?
