It's not the map; it's firmware 8.3 causing the loss. Threads here are FULL of references to the problem.

And it is not a bug, it is deliberate to comply with EC law.
See THIS TOPIC for more detail.
Or for a quicker summary on another forum, see the first post HERE

Garmin are in the process of removing the functionality from their devices too....

(By the way, there's no need to shout. Caps lock not required.....)

True. Have you asked them for a statement about that Gatorguy?

Although I guess it isn't that simple to disable the function ONLY in Europe. Sounds easy on paper, but solving simple problems even with the software as it stands now seems beyond them at the moment!

I'm sure there was an answer sent to the inquiry, as the question was posted to them several weeks ago. I'll pm the sender and see what the response was.

Good News!

TomTom indicated they plan to restore the FM function for North America via a future firmware update. Other countries that allow FM transmission may also have the function restored. No word on when the update might happen.

A big thank you to a good US forum friend who supplied the answer. Wink

I have noticed that TT has not fully disabled the function. Whilst driving I was fiddling with the music Embarassed

and suddenly got the next route change over the car radio!

Have to say it is not really a workable solution and the Police

may take an interest.
