|

I have a Tomtom One classic and think it about time I update my map.
I want to download the Western & Central Europe map but understand to get the Advanced Lane Guidance and other goodies then I need 8.05 but my unit doesn't support the required Navcore version.
So that leaves me with the 7.20 map option only if they release an update for my unit then I'll miss out.
Have I got that right? |

Yes.
The 805 Maps will probably filter down in due course. As it is a more basic model, the V8.xxx software required will be written specifically with the Device in mind.
This, to TT, will be a lower priority than getting V8.xxx to the x20 series. _________________ Richard

Is that right? I thought any OS and any map would work with any device?
Where did you read that the v8 stuff was not supported on your device?
Perhaps the wise ones could put me straight :-) |

Perhaps the wise ones could put me straight :-) | I think he referes to the fact that it needs V8 Software to use the 8xx Maps.
But then everybody, except those with x30 Devices, are in the same position. _________________ Richard

Thank you for the reply fellas.
I think I'll go for the 7.20 maps then instead of waiting.
Just you watch! I'll buy it today and then they will release the V8 software for my unit.
Thanks again. |
