TomTom are selling the current maps at a reduced price until the end of July, so it's unlikely new maps will be available until at least early August.

Damn! I still haven’t got the hang of entering a Quote correctly. Never mind, I will get it right eventually.

I too have taken the plunge and bought the v805.1801 maps and put them onto my 520. Rather annoyingly, some of the map data seems worse than my previous one, as close to where I live there's a 90 degree bend in a road which, over the years, TomTom have sometimes correctly treated as a bend, but other times must think of as a junction that you need to turn at. It was fine in the latest v7 map, but is back to a junction in the brand new v8 map!! Rolling Eyes

I've not used Mapshare that often, but I'm not sure that this is something that I can easily flag, in the way you can with adding a roundabout, for example.

I have a question about ALG though. Under what circumstances will it show you this new feature? Is it only specific, major roads? The reason I ask is that there are some rather confusing dual carriageways / roundabouts near me that I had hoped would now tell me which lane to get myself into, but alas no.

Cheers

I don't have the 520 with me just now to check, but nothing looked different about it from the v7 maps I had before, in terms of turns. I wondered if it was just major motorway junctions?

No. TomTom will tell you they have made THOUSANDS of changes in each map release. Just searching for a quote....
