I am considering buying a refurbished 930.
Before I do, can someone tell me what the latest Navcore, UK and Europe maps are, for this model, please?
I don't want to buy it only to have to pay lots more £££ to get old maps updated.
(Tomtom support have told me that the one-off free upgrade would only apply to devices bought from them direct).
Thanks |

Currently the most up to date is:
Navcore 8,351
Maps v835
Note the next release of maps will probably be out in the next month so if you do get a new unit don't use the LMG until either you have had the device 28 days or when you read on the forum the new maps are available - Mike |

Mike,
What makes you think we will be getting new maps soon?

[Just curious as to when TT will bring us maps to the accuracy of Garmin] |

I'm not Mike but I'm sure his 'prediction' is based upon the fact that TT releases new maps more-or-less every 3 months and the last was August 20th.

Just going off the dates that the last maps were released and the history of the time between each release is generally 3 months - Mike |

My 930 from eBay about 6 months ago was refurbished and qualified for the free map upgrade.
I only had to call TT support to get the North America Map as TT Home only lets you have one upgrade free, which I used for Western Europe. |
