|
|
Hi,
After having a 920,930 I have now just received my new shiny 940Live (Glutton for punishment).
Why has it got map version 8.10 on it? I thought these things had just hit the shops, or at least should have 8.15 on them.
I know you have got "The Latest Map Guarantee" but I don't want to use that yet as I keep reading on here that a new map is due about now. If I upgrade to 8.15 it then wont let me upgrade again even if I am still in the 30 day period, is that correct? Can anyone clarify for me.
Thanks in advance

Just make sure you use the LMG within the 30 day period, keep an eye on the forum as I am sure it will get a mention once released. he device will have been loaded with v810 maps at the factory, you never know how long a device has sat on the shelf waiting to be sold.
And remember you can only use LMG once - Mike |

Hi All,
I have map version 8.10 on my TT940 on both the the Western Europe Map and North America.
I tried to use the Latest Map Guarantee tonight as I knew the New Maps were released today (8.25), and the Latest Map Guarantee says there are no new maps available and I have the latest maps!!
I am within the 30 days, it expires on March 14th,
Any Suggestions?

You will need application 8.3 for map versions 8.15 and now 8.25, to work properly. Since 8.25 for both NA and GB & WE were released today, there is no reason to hold back from calling TomTom support to explain the situation.
They are well used to Home giving faulty info regarding LMG.
Expect to be asked for a scan, fax, photo or similar of the sales receipt. As I said, no point waiting any longer. _________________ David |

From what I have read in these forums today, you are only entitled to v810 maps as they were the latest maps when you first used or purchased your 940. |

NO, I strongly disagree.
TomTom might be trying to SAY that you are only entitled to the latest maps when you first used or purchased your 940, but as far as I'm concerned the wording of the LMG on both their website and in Home's helpfiles is perfectly clear.
(See relevant text screenshots HERE)
Remember when they also tried to argue that if you had a model with both Europe and US maps you would only be entitled to one of them under LMG? They kept that up for a week or two, but finally gave up and offered them both.
Very dodgy tactics...

If you look closer you will see that that only applies to the devices with An 'asterisk' (*)

It applies to all the maps you have installed to the device when purchased, if it doesn't work correctly you will need to phone TomTom support on 0845 161 0009 and don't take no for an answer - Mike |

same here, I was holding out but bought yesterday on the release of 825, my 940 came with 810 and LMG tells me I am upto date so I cannot update.
Its funny though how the paid for map upgrade service is constantly telling me my maps are 2 quarters old and I can pay for upto date maps! |
