I'm keen to get maps for France and/or western europe for my TomTom Mobile. Does anyone know how I can do this?

They obviously exist, because the TomTom site says it provides them for those countries.

In most other Western European countries, the Expansys site sells versions with both UK and French maps. But the UK Expansys only sells UK maps.

I have some 400Mb spare on my 512M mini-sd that goes in my SP3 - just waiting for these maps. I'm happy to pay good money for them - but I can't find anyway of buying them.

Can anyone help?

The TomTom shop has them, but I think that's the combo version where they force you to buy the receiver too

Yes - at 299 euros, that seems to be the software, GPS unit and map of your choice - the complete package.

It's is possible, but I would like to know if I can just buy the map? Are any of the Palm, Pocket PC or Go maps compatible?

Do TomTom not sell the Mobile maps they have on their own (I can't be the only person who wants to use it to travel round Europe!). Do they have any plans to sell these?

This is where your idea of how it should work clashes with TomTom's idea of how they want to do business... I'd recommend you bash them directly, maybe they'll change their business model if enough users complain.

Can I use the maps from TT2 on TTM?

Also on TTM I can't find "Avoid Raod" option that is on TT - do I need my eyes tested??

no - how do you think they make money?

In TTM with a route planned, press 2 and then select your desired option.

I had bought the European maps package for my TT Navigator and later bought TTM for my C500. I messed around for quite while with the files but got the European maps to work on TTM in the end. 8)
If you want to know how send me a private messgae and I will reply with the how to. If I get enough requests and the moderators don't think it breaks any rules I will post the method here. Wink

No Problem. Not Worthy
The thing is, I have purchased TTM, TT Navigator and the European maps shouldn't I be able to use them as I will, so long as I am not selling them on or using them on more than one device than I have paid for (especially considering the amount of cash TomTom have had out of me; to be honest since TTM came out I havn't used TT Navigator, so I am just make use of a previous purchase).

I'm having issues trying to switch between the maps in TTM if you can tell me how you achieved that in TTM that would be of great use. I've already download phm registry editor and that's fine if you can find what you need to change but it seems as if i have some entries missing. Sad

I currently switch maps on my Nokia 6600, I have the UK and French maps on there with no problems, I use TTM3 with the traffic add on (disabled of course as it’s a waste of space – but that’s for another forum!).

My app version is 4.430 (313) and my Nokia 6600 is running Firmware version 4.09.1 (can be found by dialling *#0000#)

Other than that just copied the map checking the folder name was correct, and now when I switch on it asks which map I would like to use.

I'm using the spv c500 with windows ce v4.21 (build 1088) and the ttm3 app version 4.430(313). can you tell me what you mean by making sure the folder name is correct, what should it be? and did you not have to change any registry entries. :o

In my case I have the 32mb Bretagne/Normandie map, and this needs to be on the memory card in a folder called "Bretagne-Normandie Navigator Map" in the case of the 233mb French map, it needs to be in a folder called "France Navigator Map".

I have done no registry changes at all just copied the map into a folder next to my British map.

Saying that, I did do one more thing, I copied the .MID file from my Great Briton map and renamed it and replaced the one in the French map folder, so for example I took the Great_Briton.mid file from the GB map folder renamed it to Bretagne-Normandie.mid and then copied that into the Bretagne-Normandie Navigator Map folder. no idea why, it was something that I read somewhere or another.

Hope this helps a little

I've done exactly as you said but with no joy. My original great britain map folder name is like so Great-Britain-Map and that is how i renamed the france folder (France-Map), i also copied and renamed the .MID files as suggested but don't get the option to switch between maps still.

This is turning out to be pretty difficult and not straight forward as some people have found it to be.

Do you have any other suggestions please?
Hope this helps a little
