Mmm! And who says that they will. Lets be honest, the chances of a company going to all that time and expense to update maps for a programme that’s been superseded by TT6 is rather remote.

I myself will be staying with TT5 and hope that they do update their maps but certainly wont hold my breath while waiting.

A small bet perhaps, say, 10 quid? :-)

From the TomTom website:
"Introducing a new map update program. Starting in the beginning of the third quarter of 2006, existing TomTom customers will be able to purchase the latest maps at a discount. Each map package also includes free updates to the TomTom software."

so no updates for v5 without an update to v6??????????

also the beginning of the 3rd quarter of 2006 was 1st July............ Embarassed

so this is well out of date.

Out of date maybe but it doesn't actually state it is necessary to update to Nav 6 to use the latest maps.

It mentions a "new map update program" for "existing customers" - so we live in hope!

Sorry should have been clearer.

It looks from replies posted on here and when I called tomtom to ask about updates that it is unlikely that any reduced priced upgrades will be available.

I phoned them to confirm what I'd read and got the same response - no upgrade pricing - so I think as it stands this is out of date and I really don't think they will offer newer maps on nav 5.

I'll wait and see and hope they offer the maps and/or upgrade pricing - but at the minute they're pricing it to make the GO range look like a better bet (at leat to me who needs a new bt gps and car mount in the near future)

Hi Eldar
A ten pound bet? As you are a Pocket GPS Moderator I’m sure that you know far more than I. I therefore have to decline your offer of a gamble and bow to your superior knowledge.

I will stay with TT5 and wait to see what transpires.

I take that to mean you will need to upgrade to version 6 to be able to use the new maps.

I agree that it is likely but it is not actually stated. Until it is, I live in hope.
