Maps Upgrades

I see from the Tom Tom site that they quote two different prices for the map upgrades, 59 and 7( Euros. From the description it is not clear what you are getting and what the difference is. Can anyone enlighten me?

hi

for 59 euros (plus p+p) you get 6 discks for maps of western europe including UK and postcode search

for 79 you get an sd card with updated (i use this term loosly)maps of the uk and postcode search

the only problem is that you have to have purchased an older copy of MOWE before you can upgrade to the new MOWE

if all you have is UK maps then uou cant upgrade to MOWE

Hi

Thanks for the reply, but I am still a little confused. I have UK map (detailed) and I also have Maps of Western Europe, but the maps I have are the 'main roads' version that came with the the original Tom Tom Go.

What I want to do is get updated postcoded map of UK, but if I can also get the Western Europe Maps as well for 20 Euros cheaper then great, I don't mind doing moving them from CD to SD.

Can any one tell me on the cheaper version are these Westren Europen maps detailed, can I up grade from the less detailed maps to these maps.

Thanks

What you actually have is MRE (Major Roads of Europe) plus the UK map.

If you upgrade what you have you will get V5 UK map, with intergrated MRE and Postcode navigation, cost 79 euros +.

The only way for you to get new detailed maps of Europe, (MOWE) is to purchase them outright.

Thanks - I think I understand the difference. I assume that if I purchased the upgrade of the MOWE that none of these would work? Not even the UK one?

If I could buy the MOWE and the upgrade only worked on the UK map I might go for that, as I don't really need updated European maps, saves 20 Euros!

Sorry if I am being dim, but Tom Tom don't make this very clear.

thanks

You can only get the 59€ upgrade to the "new" MOWE map set (6 CDs) if you provide TomTom with the product code of your current set of "old" MOWE maps. If you have no "old" MOWE maps (4CD set) you cannot use this upgrade route, you would have to buy a new set at full price (or, as I did, buy an old set for around £80 and then upgrade).

If you have the old "Classic" GO you have a GB map on the card and a Major Road of Europe map on the CD in the box. You can upgrade this (€79) to the "GB Plus" map (GB and MRE map combined) which TomTom supply on a 256 MB SD card.

After you bought your go did you buy the maps of western Europe which would of being a set of six cds? if not the only upgrade option open to you is the uk plus maps for 79 euros.

No, I only had the original UK Map and the Main Roads of Euope that came with the Tom Tom Go.

I now understand, it just seems somewhat illogical that the smaller upgrade (UK and MRWE) is more money than the larger (MOWE)!

But the small upgrade gives you a new SD card, which I'm sure tomTom will value at more than the £20 or so you can buy one for on the net.

If you get the MOWE CD set you will almost certainly need to buy an SD card in addition.

But I already have a 512K SD card in use! So I don't want an SD card.

Can anyone tell me why the MOWE have not yet been released when I can get individual maps on SD card ?

I brought my TTgo 300 several months ago and have been patiently waiting for MOWE I have ordered from Amazon but delay after delay and TT just roll forward the availability date each month, on their web site.

If anyone can shed any light on this I would appreciate it.
