Which Tom Tom do I have?

Looking to update maps on my TT One but TT website requires me to tell them which TT I have. On the unit itself it says:

TOMTOM ONE N14644 CANADA 310

On the box it states 30 series

TT Website offers TOMTOM with two 30 series options

125/130 or TTS/125S/130S

Which one should I select?

Thanks

Dave

The "S" denotes Text To Speech, can your device read out road names and place names, go to Change Preferences/ Voice Preferences/ Switch voice and scroll through all the available voices, if there are one or two that say "Computer voice" top right then yours is a TTS model, if you don't find any computer voices its fair to assume yours is the non TTS unit - Mike

Thanks for your reply. There is no computer voices listed so it must be the
125/130 version.

Thanks

I'm guessing you are not in the UK? (the mention of "Canada" in the model number MIGHT be a clue, but it could just be a codename).

The two versions you quote (125/130 or TTS/125S/130S) are not mentioned on the UK website, so if you ARE from the UK, you need to change the country in the top right corner of the Homepage.

If you are from Canada or the US then ignore me! Smile

I am in the UK. This item was bought from QVC (uk) a year ago so assume it's appropriate for this country - it works fine.
I changed the country to Canada when logging on to TT website, where the 130 is mentioned, but the map area of the shop on the site is closed for repair. How critical is it that I use the specific UK and ROI map from the Canadian site. Possibly QVC US has supplied these units to it's sister company here in the UK. All a bit of a mystery?

What map is currently installed to the device tap the sat strength meter followed by the version box and the resultant screen will show you the map name, version and build number along with other information.

I had wrongly assumed you were Canadian from the OP and the model numbers you mentioned Embarassed

FWIW the Canadian TT web site has been down for ages, in fact I am not too sure it has ever worked - Mike

So.. I reckon you need to ignore the "Canada" - it *is* just a codename.

Give us the map name as Mike suggests and start looking at the UK TomTom site

A couple of copies of stuff I've written up before:

-----------------------------------------------------------
As far as I know there have been these versions in the UK:
(these v numbers are NOT the ones the retailers often call them by!)
v1 = Original "One" - (UK retailers call these the "V1")
v2 = never released
v3 = the One "New Edition" (now called by TomTom the "Second Edition") (UK retailers call these the "V2")
v4 - The first with GL Hammerhead GPS chipset, flash memory and SD card slot , Bluetooth, but no RDS-TMC connection, but it was very short lived - possibly only available in the US.
v5 = Original One XL
v6 = One Third Edition Europe unit (UK retailers call these the "V3")
v7 = One Third Edition Regional unit (UK retailers call these the "V3")
v8 = One New version with fold away mount. Sometimes called the "30 Series" or "22" model (UK retailers call these the "V4")
v9 = XL New version with fold away mount Sometimes called the "30 Series" or "22" model (note it's no longer called the "One XL", just the "XL")
(and since then the IQ Routes and LIVE models as well)

(v1 to v5 have Bluetooth (for data transmission only, not handsfree), v6 and above have NO Bluetooth an NO SD card slot)

So what you might call a "v2", is called the "New (or "2nd") Edition" by TomTom and is actually a v3!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The easiest way to be sure is to use the actual model number on the bottom (something like "4N01.002") to work it out.
I've compiled a list on another forum, which I'll copy here:

This is the item I have according to the code printed on the base. 4EE0.001.16

"TomTom One Both Western Europe and UK models - 4EE0.001.00 and also 4EE0.001.16 (UK and IE, bundle with "Roadside Assist") memory is 512MB, UK & ROI map"

The map info is:
UK and ROI v815.2024

All that said, it looks like I have the Tom Tom One 30 series (125/130) which is listed on the uk tom tom site.
Quite a path to finding all that out.

Thanks all
