At this moment I have a Go Classic. Will my USA Maps SD card work with the new 20x, 720. Thanks, Mike.

No insider info at all, but it's never been like that before.
New maps may have needed new software, but new software has always been able to read old maps. Any new features (like the speed limit display (or Mapshare?)) obviously wouldn't work though.

but if they're rolling out v7 software for older units then surely the mapshare etc must work with old maps? they can't force you to buy new maps to work with free software update, can they?!

H`mm, will have to wait and see. Just got back from the states, where my Go Classic worked well, although took about 10 min to lock onto sat`s when we arrived.

I've just emailed TomTom on this subject and they tell me that 'all maps purchased from TomTom will work on all TomTom units'. Maps may have to be copied, of course, if they are on an SD card and the target unit doesn't take SD cards! I wanted to know if my USA maps would work.

Of course it's possible that the new software will work with the old maps, but not all the new functionality will be available.

We saw the same thing with the speed limit display (whether you like it or not). If you only downloaded the new software, but didn't buy any new maps, you did not get to see the speed limit and the awful flashing red display. However, when you downloaded the new maps to go with the new software, it was present in all its glory.

I would imagine that something similar will be done with the v7 software. You will be able to use it with the old maps, but MapShare won't be available until you get hold of the new updateable maps.

This is just a guess, with no insider information, but it seems the most logical scenario.
