As a purchaser in the US I was surprised that the S&H charge had to be paid via Paypay.

Indeed, this offer is for US and Canada residents only, and the shipping cost hast to be paid through PayPal. Pretty, uhm, interesting.

I am going to the US several times a year. I tried to upgrade my GO910 North America maps, but I am not allowed to. So TomTom really want all the European users to use OLD maps when visiting the US?? That is really crazy. How can they do that?

The text says they are 'This latest release is based on the Tele Atlas MultiNet(tm) 2006.10 global digital map database' - I assume this means they were released in Oct 2006.

If buy US/Canada map on TomTom as uk [currently €80], says it is version V6.6 [Jun 2006 release?] e.g.

www.tomtom.com/products/maps/select.php?D=8&Language=1&P=35

If dates are correct, how can TT justify [still] selling in UK the old US maps when they already have maps that superceed them? Does this also mean that US can get more up to date European etc maps [e.g. if update as a 910 user], than we can get in Europe - I just bought Western Europe maps and now feel my Christmas preset from TT begins with 's' and ends in 'hafted' :-(

Here's the reply I got from TomTom support.

It seems that this is a European centric forum but did anyone from the States have a comment on this new map? I think it is big news. Did anyone get it and determine if this is a more accurate map?? Question

I have a new TT one v2 Europe. I am going to the states on the 19th. My wifes sister lives in Orlando so could have DVD sent to her. Excuse my ignorance but what do you do when you get the DVD, and what additional costs are there. I really need it on a SD card.
Thanks

I have just ordered one to be sent to our friends in Florida.
I can collect it when I visit and download it from my laptop.
