TomTom GO 720T with map of Western Europe v710.1561

uffe73

Is there anyone who has bought a TT GO 720T unit that included the latest map of Western Europe? Yes, I know TomTom offers something called Latest map guarantee for 30 days, but based on the problems a lot of people on this forum have had with this updating I would prefer if my unit had the latest map (and the latest app v7.161) straight out of the box.

So, if someone can respond yes to the question above, could you please let me know the serial number (or at least the first numbers of the serial no) of the unit? This way I can check if my retailer has the latest batch of the units.

Another thing, is there by chance anyone who has tested the hands-free calling function of TT GO 720 with a Sony Ericsson W850i phone? The phone doesn't appear in the phone compatibility list, but that doesn't prove that it's not working, right?

Thanks in advance

My SE P1i doesn't appear in the compatibility list for anything but bluetooth works and it also sends/receives texts as well, unusually. SE phones are normally pretty good.

I have used occasionally SE K610i for SMS (sending/reading) and TomTom Plus services without problems. For calling I use bluetooth headset.

Dear Mr ******,

Thank you for contacting TomTom Customer Support.

As we discussed this afternoon, the new free, map for your Go 720 will be released soon. At that time, the map will appear within TomTom HOME for you to download.

With best regards,

The TomTom Customer Support Team

Dear Mr ******,

Thank you for contacting TomTom Customer Support

Currently the latest map guarantee is not available for 720 users. Currently we do not know when this will be made available so the only thing that I can recommend is that you try entering in your code periodically over the next few weeks to see if the update is available.

Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience.

With Best Regards

The TomTom Customer Support Team

According to the response I got, the map you have been given is not the final one that will be issued to 720 owners - unless of course they are just fobbing me off (not that TomTom have any history of that!)

Dear Vaughan,

Thank you for contacting TomTom Customer Support.

Unfortunately I cannot offer you the map as a download to your account.
This request was made specifically to our 2nd Level Team, however this map is still in development and should become available shortly as you know.

The map that my colleague has managed to add to other accounts is not the same map that will be provided via TomTom HOME.
This is a similar map which is the same version, howvever the map available under Latest map Guarantee will have more detail than the current map, hence why it is taking a bit longer than expected to be available.

Should you have further questions or suggestions, please let us know.
You can also speak to us directly on the number below.

With Best Regards

That response seems weird to me! How come they are selling the 710 map on their web site if it's not finished yet? I find it hard to believe that the map provided via latest map guarantee would be of higher quality than the one sold on their web site!!!

I have quereied this response, but on past experience with the RDS-TMC receiver I don't expect to get a sensible answer.

Unless they are giving a duff map out just to keep people quiet!

....and maybe, as Andy V. says that means you get the duff one to keep you quiet!

When I kept hassling them, there was a definite edge of irritation in their later replies:
