Maps of Europe

I'm sure it's a no brainer but what's to stop you copying a map from your TT910 to another TT which only has UK on it?

i don't see why you would like to in the first place, since all 910's comes with complete maps over europe as well as the us.

Well its obviously not a TT910 he wants to copy it onto is it!

Wynny - doing what you suggest MAY work, although TomTom have a system of locking the maps to a particular unit. The Go has a device code, the map has a product code. You have to enter both of these into a form at www.ttcode.com to generate an Activation code that you type into the Go to switch the maps on.

The exact way in which this works, and when and if you need to go through the process, is very confusing/complex. Suffice to say if you do manage it, you might well have "taken" ownership of the map away from the original device, which means the next time any software update etc is attempted it will lock you out, and also cheap map "upgrades for existing owners" would not be available.

Finally, it's illegal, and is explicitly forbidden in the Licence Agreement you agreed to when you tore open the sticker on the card/device when you first bought it.

I would say it's a waist of time. The maps will only work with the original device because they will be locked to that device code. TomTom are not silly, if it were that easy then there would be map files all over ebay and there aren't.
