Tom Tom New Maps 17 April 2007

Well, I've been at the download for 30 minutes already (at "up to 8Mb Broadband") and seem to have got as far as one map so far - I have bought downloads of GO700 and GO710 new maps, both supposedly Ver 6.75. Interestingly (worryingly!!) it seems to be downloading one entitled "Western_Central Europe" for the GO700 and three entitled "Western Europe" for the 710.

So I thought I'd sit and worry whether they have the new London Congestion Zone on, or whether I've shelled out £121.75 just for some more new roundabouts!

Just as interestingly, I picked up on new maps from a post in another thread, not (no change here!!) from a TT Newsletter - don't know why I bother being signed up for that, the few I've received have been of no interest or value.

And before anybody comments, I've copied off all my existing map folders - probably I'll have to delete the old ones to make space (that's assuming TT Home doesn't do it for me without asking).

Yes. It said (for both devices) not enough room.
On the 700 I had old and new maps and had to delete both.
On the 710 I had the existing map and had to delete that (despite having a 2GB SD card).
Two hours now and getting fairly close to ending the install on both machines. It would have taken less time if the download hadn't downloaded three maps for the 710 (I presume - it said so, but didn't question overwriting or anything). But having deleted the previous map folders I'll have to copy my settings and POIs (including cameras) and re-enable and warn and get a headache.

And they do include the new London CC Zone. See my front page news item.

Good luck Dennis.

The write up does say that the new congestion zone is included, which really p*****s me off as I updated my map in December and expected it to be in there.

Ah well whats £40! We can all afford that every few months can't we. The problem is we don't really know what we're getting until we've got it, do we.

I'd be interested to see what improvements have been made, I assume you'll only find that out if there are errors on your journeys at present. I think I'll probably stick with the extended zone POI for now.

I too bought the new maps back in December for my TT700, the area in Spain (Costa Del Sol) had a few new road included but more worryingly there were roads missing off the new maps that were on the old maps and the roads have nothing wrong with them, there was a (around a mile or so long) section between the sea and dual carriageway that was totally missing. I just hope the new maps contain these roads and also contain lakes, canals etc that were also omitted.

Be a little more specific in term of the exact area you are interested in lat/ long etc then someone with the new map can take a look and advise, or post a screen capture to prove the area before purchase (FY4 area is my location if you want to see first hand) - Mike

I have a 2GB card in my 710 which I bought in preparation for needing the Central European Maps. I wanted to wait for the new maps to come out before buying, rather than paying twice, so here goes...!!

Now the question: If I bought the Maps of Western and Central Europe, which is normally for the 910, is there a reason why it wouldn't work on my 710?

Also, would I need to reinput all my favourites, or could I transfer them across by renaming the file?

is the new section of the A1 near Fairburn on the new maps.

Of the above two photos, the top one is map v568.0 and the bottom one is v660.1219.

Again the old map is at the top and the newer map is at the bottom with the missing streets.

Sorry if the maps aren't viewable.

I have just found a really new bit. The A419/A420 junction at Swindon has been rebuilt recently, indeed they hadn't completely lifted the cones and temporary speed limits last time I drove it a couple of weeks ago, but that new flyover is on the new map.
