hi

does anyone know the difference between the USA maps purchased on sd and the ones dowloaded from tomtom

the download size is 1.4gb and i believe the sd card size is 1gb

i know you get canada as well but the download for canada is 129mb so something doesnt add up

also do you get a product code with the download or is it registered to your tomtom device code when you dowload like the voices are( my first tomtom went faulty and i had to use a 2nd activation code for the maps i had at the time and had to purchase sylvia again)

the price works out at about the same whatever way i do it but do you get more (or more up to date maps) by dowloading 1.4gb

many thanks

From memory the download comes with an install program and I believe TT email a Product Code (to be used at ttcode).

The seven regions of the downloadable map overlap each other to some extent and you can't navigate across maps, whereas the 1Gb map is a single street-level map.

Also, the undividual maps will have POI data for each region compared to a single file for the SD card version.
