The new Maps do not work on TomTom V5 and there are no plans to release any more new maps for V5 devices.

TomTom say you will have to goto version 6 software to use these maps. But not all PDAs will run 6 software so you may be stuffed.

Hi,

I purchased a map update from TomTom in November, now I see another update, so today I called TomTom and asked if I get a free or reduced fee as I only paid for an update in November. NO was the reply, so it looks as if TomTom don't care when you update your maps you have to pay if there is an update.

So when can we expect the new maps available for download here?

These are the latest Teleatlas maps but are not as upto date as the 660.1256 Navteq maps.:frown: So Iam going back to 1256 till we get Navteq 6.75. Just glad I didn't give them my hard earned money for them.:D

PS The A10 Ware by-pass is missing and a road in Stotfold is now an unclassifyed one. Not bothering to check any more just give up and wait.
