Hi, I have just bought a tomtom navigator 5 pda setup. Currently it is perfect with the uk mapping. However I travel to Paris next month and can't find a map of france compatible with navigator 5. My friend has the go700 set up and is under the impression he can download the maps I require to an SD card. Is this possible? If so how? and if not how can I get a map of france for my set up??

Many thanks

Tomo

I bought the bluetooth reciever and software pack. It's my first venture into the world of gps. Where can I find compatible maps?

I meant if I was to purchase new mapping. I can only find mapping for the tomtom go series not the navigator. Being new to this I am unsure of where to buy navigator software. What mapping is actually compatible with TTN5?

Although the European street level maps have been included in the upgrade pack, I don't think they have yet been released for retail purchase

Congrats on the purchase.

Now welcome to the world of tomtom - where they "give" away street level maps of the whole of Europe (with notable Irish exceptions) with upgrades but are unable or unwilling to sell them to you even though they have been available for more than a month!

You could call them and ask when they will be available - a common reply appears to be "next friday" for most requests or you could just stand in front of a brick wall and pull your head back and forth - as it will produce the same result. Laughing

you can download some maps - but these are restricted to small city areas (Paris is available I think) see the plus portion of the tomtom website.

I've got the same problem, purchased Navigator 5 complete with the map of the UK but can't buy the maps of europe.

The TomTom site tell me they will be available end of July 2005. If you own Navigator 3 you can buy the upgrade to 5 for 59 euros including all the maps of Europe, don't understand why as a new Navigator 5 customer I can't buy a product which has been on sell for some time.

Unless you can tell me different....
