I am confused ... Crying or Very sad

(not difficult I know but ...... )

I upgraded through the tomtom site in December ... bought the "new" western europe map for my TT700 even though it does not have Poland etc on it ... Show version tells me I have Western Europe 660.1219.. on OS 6.520 build 7690 ...... TT site says I have the "latest" version ... other threads say it takes a year for TT to produce a new map .. yet

and this is the bit that confuses me .. in posts in this thread folks are talking about versions 660.1223 and 660.1256

would someone explain in simple words ??

please ??

Crying or Very sad

Thanks for the replies .... very slightly clearer .... so which is the "best" one, ?? telemap or navteq ... and why do some folks have one and some the other ? having done an update from the tom Tom site I "expected" the latest version .. seems I didn't get it. Sad

As to the 1223 question. on the previous page, 2nd from the bottom .....

The Navteq map v660.1256 is "officially" Wink

only able to be used in a One V2 or Rider as these are "dual-map" units which can run a Teleatlas or Navteq map.

The current latest Teleatlas v660.1219 for the One V1 and all Go series is the one you should be going for.

Note the Navteq does NOT include a separate (or even combined) map of the Canaries which the Teleatlas does.

Entwood -
People haven't "chosen" one over the other: TomTom always used TeleAtlas Maps, but then for commercial reasons (keeping TA on their toes, or negotiating a better deal with them?) they decided to use Navteq on first the Rider and then the ONE New Edition European Version.

As to which is better... That argument rages on...
Obviously if one has errors near your Home or on a route you use a lot, but the other doesn't, then you are bound to say which is "best"!

As for map dates. That is a battle you have to take to TomTom. They have taken huge ammounts of flak in the past about not giving version numbers or build dates. They are getting a bit better now with version numbers, but they still seem reluctant to publicise the date (even though I have an e-mail from them saying they do!)

I've got 3 sets and they all behave differently..

1199 - this has the motorway exit named in full - eg "M4 London" if you're heading that way, and has the speed warning
1223 - this has the old style motorway names
1256 - same motorway styles as 1199

... but, a road a regularly visit is named correctly in 1199/1223, but is 'Unknown Road' in 1256 - but a major roundabout that's been built near me is on the 1256 and is missing from the other two. So I guess it's a case of what do you actually need... the trouble is that you don't know until you're forked out the cash...

Can anyone help me.
I installed the v660.1256 maps on my 910 and activated the map and the maps are fine. BUT ...
Whenever i am routing it will tell me the location of somewhere in German.
I.E. "AT THE NEXT JUNCTION TURN LEFT TOWARD SCHTRASTERLARSEN" which should have been "AT THE NEXT JUNCTION TURN LEFT TOWARD GUILDFORD"

Anyone know what the problem might be ??

It's more than likely your dodgy map , you can't get v660.1256 map for the 910 (as far as i know) , well not from tomtom unless you told then that you had a tt one ...

Hi all
I read on another forum that W Europe 660.1223 is the release that works on TT Mobile and Navigator 5.
