TomTom 3 Maps

I'm relatively new to this satnav thing, and have got Tomtom3.

What happens in 12 months time, when the maps are more out of date than they are now? Can I just download new maps, or will I end up having to upgrade to Tomtom4 (or whatever is next) ?

What are people's experience of this?

So will be have to fork out for the full price of the software again i.e. £100ish or as it is an upgrade £20ish?

It will be an upgrade price but GBP 20 is overly optimistic. More in the 60 range

Tbh, it is a bit of a rip off when you just want them to fix the errors they've made in the current maps, but they make you shell out for the whole software. Personally I think they should just be fixed with patches.

Well, they are not exactly charging you for fixing software errors - they charge you for newer maps that they have to buy from TeleAtlas.

TomTom have to be paid and £40 - £60 is pretty fair, they may fix some bugs etc, but you will get extra features and functionality.

You would pay to upgrade your operating system I bet!
