I currently have TOMTOM 3, do you know when the next update will be. I know with TOMTOM GO the software version is 4 ... thank you.

If TomTom continues with their update cycle then we should expect TTN 4 in spring next year.

I have had navigator from 1 to 3 and before that city maps and route planner - I'm relatively happy with ttn3 and don't see that much more can be added to it. The palm version poi warner built in is required on palms because of the os not multitasking - I'm happy to continue using checkpoint.

At some point TOMTOM and all the others have to get round to the idea of downloadable map updates - I'm happy to pay - they appear to have the systems in place with the traffic subs to offer this and now that broadband is mostly available to all.

Dunno,

Remember that you will not get this new road on the map info for probably a year after it is opened as TT gets it's map info from TeleAtlas. Also the info they get from TeleAtlas is usually old min 6 months.

I have a theory about why Tom Tom maps are so out of date. It goes something like this:

"Hello TeleAtlas, this is Tom Tom. We'd like to buy some new maps please." :D

"Hello Tom Tom, you're in luck. We've just finished work on the latest data. It's all yours for £xxx." Laughing

"Oh dear, that's a bit expensive for us. Crying or Very sad

How about doing us a deal on last year's data? Twisted Evil

By the time our customers realise the data is out of date we will already have their money" 8)

Even Teleatlas themselves tell us we need up to date maps!! (Even though there map updates are around the £100 mark)

http://www.teleatlas.com/template_content.jsp?ctype=navigation_solutions_updates&contentpage=whybuyupdates.jsp

Now all we need is for TomTom to catch onto this Laughing

At them sort of prices though, I can make do with my current maps until TTN4 is released on upgrade :D
