will a 510 ever be able to map share

amancalledchip

HI.

I have a 510 and the maps are out of date, its £40 for uk and £60 for europe maps, but will these enable map share and give 1 year free updates.

If not and they update the maps every qtr as they say they do , then i may as well just get a brand new One v3 that has map share and 1 years free updates.
or am i missing something here?

A tomtom GO 510 with the latest version 7 software and with map version 6.75 or later can use mapshare.

The one year free updates that you refer to allows you to download minor changes made to your map by other users via mapshare. It does not give you free new maps for a year.

The current map version for sale is 7.20 and the version 7 software is available as a free upgrade.

Ok thanks.
Im running app 7.162, but maps are v650.1110

There have been so many major road changes , like the sheppy bridge , and the new motorway section around Gravesend and the Dartford Tunnel that i just wanted my unit updated.Anyone know if the mapshare would allow me to add these in, or if maps 7.20 cover the changes

Many thanks

Hi

Mapshare will not update roads ie:- add in new roads or round abouts, it only allows alterations to one way streets,street names,speed limits and the like. For new roads you need to buy new maps, even then map data can be at least a year old.

Many Thanks Anita for that.

Thankyou pcaouolte , i checked google maps, and the bridge is there, but all the major road works on the A2 between gravesend and the m25/a2 interchange is in the stages of being built.Its operational now so I will hold off getting a new map until thats done as the changes made are major ones.
