TomTom 5 Maps Of Western Europe

Can anyone confirm if the new Maps Of Western Europe (V5) are generic or specific to a particular TomTom product, ie will there be multiple versions, one for Navigator & another for GO. Or can I buy the GO Maps Of Western Europe knowing they will work with Navigator V5.

My understanding is that with this version you buy maps. Period. You can then use your (map) product key with any device - Go, PPC, Smartphone, Palm, UIQ, Desktop. I've tested this and was able to use the same product key for the Smartphone (TTM5) and the emulator (TTN5)

Thanks :D. I was going to ask that question. That since I will get the full maps of Europe with my TTNav5 upgrade I was wondering if I could also use them with TT5 Mobile, looks like the answer is yes? :D

Sorry to labour the point but I'm still a bit confused, when I placed my order for the upgrade I used my product key for my UK version and it said that if I had another product key I should use the same process again.

Does that mean I have to pay 59 Euro for each upgrade, my UK version and my German version?

Reading the upgrade blurb on the tomtom site I assumed I would get all the maps of western europe..... so I only entered the UK code.

To further confuse the issue, due to problems with the internet I ended up with 3 upgrade orders and one confirmation.... %$%**%$

Just to add to the fun/confusion:

I have just been down the upgrade trail. I have two product codes, one for TTN3 UK programme and maps and one for Maps of Western Europe (TTN3) purchased last year.

As 'suggested' in the upgrade dialogue I entered both product codes and was presented with a shopping cart for 2 upgrades at €59 = €118 plus costs. Needless to say I re-processed with only one product code, the UK main package. This will now give me TTN5 UK programme/maps with integration of major European Roads, plus street level seprate maps for Western Europe as extended to Poland etc.

As a test (witout processing) if I enter the product code for my TTN3 Maps of Western Europe, this seems to give me exactly the same upgrade as above, also for €59 + costs. So I can get an additional TTN5 full product plus European street level maps for €69. This could be kept as an additional package or sold (unopened and unregistered) for say £150 (assuming that the software only version of TTN5 plus Europe will sell for approx £200). This would more than cover both upgrade costs.

Asuming I am correct, this does redress the balance of effectively paying twice for the same product.

Question
