Some way to go there Dennis!

Also, If I am not mistaken, Hasn't DennisN been complaining about Maps for Greece not being included in the European ones? So, a week after his and Vera's holiday to Greece, TomTom include Greece in the European 8.50 download!

I feel a storm brewing.....5 days and counting!

I'm certainly not going to ask DennisN to choose my Lottery Numbers for a while.

EDIT- Just an idea. Perhaps TomTom never previously included the maps for Greece because they knew that doing so would tip it over their 2GB limit.

Nothing to do with the 2GB limit - they did it just to annoy Dennis

They also ensured his XL LIVE started playing up so that he had to buy a 550

[DennisN]

Well, we had a couple of days using the Greece map on the 550 live. Not a great success I fear, what with it not having any great concern about the difference between tarmac and megga-wheel 4x4 and having loads of names very similar to each other (offers you half a dozen, with the province or dymotiki area or something and you need to know which one) - to navigate to one very nearby village, I entered Kokini and selected one of them, only to be offered a route of some thousand miles or more onto the mainland. Then again, those Greeks have a funny alphabet and even in the pseudo English depiction of names, it's not always easy to remember that D is written NT and B is written MP (to go to Benitses you input Mpenitses - if you're as clever as I am!!) From the top of Pantokrator, it directed us down a mountain road which Dimitri finally refused to follow any further than about 2 miles. That might have had something to do with his car stopping two days later, sitting over a large pool of petrol - he was about to light a fag to ponder the problem until I suggested it might not be the wisest of thinking aids!
