Downloading new maps from TomTom.com question

Borg

if I purchase the newest map of GB from the TomTom site does it come with an activation code at all.

I have no idea where any of the CDs or boxes are for the 500 I have and my maps are well out of date.

Thanks

That's only the same as how you got a map product code card when you first bought your 300, but didn't need to use it.

I didnt recieve or need an activation code for the USA/Canada maps that I downloaded a few weeks ago.

You would not receive an activation code, but you should have received a Product code.

Yes your right, I 've just checked the 'conformation of purchase' email from TT and there is indeed a product code.

I downloaded my USA map via tomtom home to a different SD card (having first deleted my Europe map folder), I'm pretty sure that its going to work OK when I arrive in the US as I have been busily adding in POI's etc

What is the point of the (presumeably unique) product code?, activation code I can understand.

Is there a sure fire way of making absolutely sure that my map install is OK, I dont really want to be trying to contact TT support whilst on my hols.

Many thanks Andy_P2002,

Yes a demo route from the airport to our accommodation ran ok, so it looks as if it will be just fine, also added in the retail POI's from TT's website whilst I had that card in, they also work OK, despite not being able to open the file using POIedit Confused

I bought the Western Europe map (downlodable) a couple of days ago and I got the code. I put the code on ttcode.com and got my activation code. Worked just great. The latest map version v660.1219 WE
