Map/Software updates

Only just got the HP and TT, and already thinking of updates! Wink

Used the TT5 in earnest for the first time today, and although it worked faultlessly, Driving

I did notice a few (minor) map errors - for example, where a junction is now a roundabout (and has been for around a year)

Wondering how you go about making sure you have the latest maps, how often they are released and how much they cost?

about once a year, about 60 GBP

Once a year sounds good, but 60 quid doesn't!

Have I just missed an update then? The above mentioned "junction now a roundabout" must have been there a year or even more? Or are updates a bit flaky?!

updates don't mean they are perfect... It can take many years before a reported issue is actually reflected in the map material.

Good point - even printed maps have this problem of course!

TomTom 5 came out early summer 2005, and the maps reflected changes up to about 12 months prior to issue (with some notable exceptions). So the next release, probably in about 3 months time, might contain your new roundabout.

Does anyone know what version the GB map is on the TomTom site. Mine is v571. Is that the latest?

cheers, so mine is well out of date then. I think I'll wait a bit longer though. Give them chance to put the new M62/A1 interchange on :D
