|

Hi All,
I am in Australia and have an iPaq rw6828 PocketPC running TomTom Navigator 6. I have Australian and Great-Britain maps on my storage card.
I can use the Australian map fine but I cannot see the Great-Britain map when I go to the change map option, i.e., it is not listed for me to choose it.
Is it because I am in Australia and Navigator knows that (maybe it's smart enough to block off that map because it knows there aren't any satellites here for UK?), or is it because the Oz map is version 6 and the GB map is version 5?
I will be visiting UK in August/September so need to get this sorted before I go.
Any help on this will be very much appreciated.
Many thanks,
Dave. |

It was possible to run certain V6 Maps with V5 software, but not the other way round. _________________ Richard

Thanks for the reply, Richard.
I thought that would be the case.
So I need to get a version 6 UK map...
I see that there are different versions of Navigator 6, mine is 6.020 (7980) and the Oz map is v650.1114. Do I need to get any particular version 6 of UK map or will all version 6 maps work OK?
Thanks.

Hi All,
See my previous post for Navigator version etc.
Can someone please tell me where I can get a UK map, or a UK and Western Europe map (that will work with my version of Navigator)?
I have looked at a few web sites but it's all a bit of a mystery to me - it looks like you can only buy a box containing a CD/DVD?
My preference is to buy a map and the activation code and download it all - it's a long way from Holland or wherever to Australia and, quite apart from having to pay for shipping charges, I'm always a bit hesitant in case a box of goodies doesn't turn up - and there is the wait for it too.
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks. |
