Maybe someone has stated this already, but which map version is supplied with the x40 units?

24/7 IQ data is not within the v805 maps which are the latest available so one can speculate all you like as to version numbers, but as Darren has said, we don't know when they will hit the shops or what will be installed to them in way of version numbers, I guess this is one to sit out and wait to see what becomes available.

If I were you with a nice new 730 I would be more inclined to be asking if/ when some of these features will be made available for my existing hardware Wink

Strange that Tomtom manage to convert the price of the unit £299, but not the LIVE service.

*Availability and price of the TomTom GO x40 LIVE series and TomTom LIVE services bundle may differ per country. Some LIVE Services are country specific.

Or maybe Vodafone UK are charging more?

Hmm, a rather large jump there. I wouldn't be quite so sure just yet.

New device range every half year. Is TomTom a hardware house? I have a year old GO720T, where in hell I need a new device twice a year? No thanks TomTom. I need new maps, new software versions to navigate from point A to point B using my recent device.

There is now new maps v.8.10, where do I need them in September after the vacation time? I need the new ones when I'm on the journey on the SUMMER time from June to August.

I have mounts which suits my car, with every range a new way to mount, that is stupid. Maybe a buy a new GO in year 2010, it might be the spring/summer version x70 or perhaps the next spring/summer version x90 in 2011. I have no need to the autumn/winter versions.

In fairness the x20 and x30 range are identical with the exception of the maps that were specific to the x30, with the release of the v810 maps this differential is no longer present.
I would say the high end devices x10, x20/x30 and x40 have more like 18 months between releases, and of late maps have been released around every three months, so you could have got an up to date map at the start of your holiday period had you wanted one - Mike
