Go Live 1005 map upgrade to 9.15

H all,
I have a version 1 (if there is such a thing) Tomtom go live 1005 Europe model. Bought it when first released. Haven't upgraded the map for over a year and tomtom have offered me via email a 12 month map upgrade service for £32.95. The email explains this is an upgrade to the latest map and the four new ones.
What troubles me is that the email mentions I may need a memory card to update the maps. Im guessing they mean the size of the new map is so big it wont fit into the device's internal memory. Well, as we all know this model didn't come with a memory card slot. If my assumption is correct and the new map doesn't fit onto the device, what is the point of them offering it to me...apart from deceiving me into parting with my money?
TIA,
Peter
NB The relevant bit of their email to me was
*To get the latest map of Europe you’ll need to have 1GB of memory on your TomTom device. Please be aware that you might need an additional sd card.

How much memory does your device have? I thought it was at least 2GB. If not I don't think it's deceit on TomTom's part, just their usual incompetence.

I got the same email, even though I've subscribed to their MUS ever since it first became available, last renewed in August, and already have the latest map.

I thought it was 2gb internal memory also. The fact then that the new map is advertised as 3gb does not bode well. I'm not expecting a successful download/install. If it all goes wrong, anyone know if ill be able to revert to the current map so at least the device is usable?

It looks as if you should be OK.

TomTom offered the sme thing to me, even though I have lifetime maps on my 1005.

Fingers crossed, thanks Anita for your help.

Don't forget that even if you ARE short on memory, you would automatically be offered the ZONED versions of the Europe map when you tried to download the update.

You would have to choose ONE of the zones to install (Western, Northern Central Europe etc.) but you are still entitled to ALL of the zones if you need to swap to another one at a later date.

Worth knowing. Thanks Andy

Don't know what version mine is, then as it has 8MB memory - perhaps that is because it is a 'Camper' version.

I'll let you off this time! Cool

I should probably have included the bit about v2 in my original quote to make the difference between the two versions clear, rather than just answering the OP's question.
