Map of Western Europe v7.10

It's getting hard to work out where we stand, with so many reports scattered around so many different posts.
But many people HAVE been getting Mapshare corrections (see this forum). As a gut feeling, without wading through everything again, is it just Gox10 owners who aren't?

Jersey still just a green blob on v7.05 maps (with 2 PGPSW speed cameras in the sea off the North Coast - so it's not even in the right place according to Navteq!)

Amazingly, it's still like that on Google Maps too (they are using TeleAtlas there as well)

I have a TomTom One XL. I posted a map correction on the device and uploaded it around mid October. I never got any mapshare updates until yesterday, when I downloaded the latest version of TomTom Home, when it also uploaded the correction again.

does this new map come with an updated post code folder as well?

What version of Home software have you got loaded to the PC as this might be responsible for no Map Share updates?

As for the Channel Islands only the Nav Teq maps currently have this area covered, it was last seen on the One XL Europe IIRC -Mike

Hi,
I have a go910 with the version 7.160 installed and, up to few days ago, with the map Western Europe v. 6.75.
With this map I had begun to use Mapshare and I had succeeded in doing both the upload and the download of some updatings.
Now, from when I have also installed the map Western and Central Europe v 7.10, normally I succeed in effecting the upload but I have not received yet updating of the map through MapShare.
A doubt has come to me. Is it possible that the updatings are tied up to the specific version of the map? In fact Icontinue receiving updatings on the 6.75 but nothing on the 7.10? Maybe the owners of this new version have not reached yet a good number of concordant corrections that can be shared with the other consumers.
Can someone confirm to have already done corrections on the map version 7.10 that are already published through MapShare to the other users?
In that case I would have some problems because I don't receive these updatings.
Sorry for my poor English.

TomTom home is still telling me

Your Device Came with the latest map

Currently there is no map update needed

My map version is 6.75 Great Britain and Ireland

In the TomTom shop it shows this map available
Map of Great Britain and the Republic of Ireland v_7.10
for £29.95

Now how was I to know a new map was made available in the 30 day gaurantee period, TomTom have my email address but did not tell me? The software I installed from TomTom also seems to be denying me the right to use the map guarantee anyway

I like the device, but the map update confusion is not good at all, and I am not going to pay £30 just a month after buying a new sat nav unit. I will wait and see the response, if I get one from TomTom, should be within 24 hours if they stick to their service promise.

If no response is forthcoming, I would rather punt it on Ebay and buy another - and if I do it won't be a TomTom

Well, here you go. I've been trying since 1st November to get my Latest Map Guarantee new Western Europe Map v710. TomTom's latest response received about 20 minutes ago is that there is no newer map than the one I've got!! I have replied disagreeing.

Hi, sorry if this is a really basic question, but I am confused about the choice of maps available. I have a GO 500, and I know I will need a larger SD card, so ignore that for the moment.
I wanted a map of Belgium, but the Western Europe offer seems so much better value. Problem - which one?

On the TT website, if I enter GO500, I am offered 'Map of Western Europe v_7.10 size 953MB, with 21 countries.

If I enter GO720 (e.g), I am offered 'Map of Western Europe v7.10 size 1785MB, with the same 21 countries. So what exactly is the difference for double the size??

[I see there is also Map of Western & Central Europe at 2036MB, but I'm not interested in Central Europe right now.]

Appreciate any advice.

Thanks,
Mike DJ

The argument has raged in the past over what, if anything, has been left out to squeeze the maps into a smaller space for some machines (mainly water features etc, but the occasional small road too?).

In this case, however, I think you'll find that the huge difference in size is mainly due to the Text to Speech data files included with the 720 version of the map.
