 Posted: Sun Feb 11, 2007 7:46 pm Post subject: What are the "rules" for selling maps? |
 |
|
As I am Canadian I was was able to order the free North America map upgrade to my Canadian address.
It has arrived but as I am still over in the UK I think I may just sell it on Ebay or something. Is that legal?
I cannot think of a use for it as I may just sell my current TT with the Europe maps when I leave the UK and buy a new unit in Canada.
Or can I just sell the Europe map?
Anyone have some advice?

Are you sure Alix?
So long as it is the original SD card/DVD and it is supplied with the Product code card AND it has been deleted from any machine he owns, surely that will be OK? |

How do you delete it in a way which removes the activation record from TomTom's database - so that they can issue a new activation code for a different device?

Sorry Alix what bolloc*s
He can sell what he likes, as long as it is with the original unit it was activated on then there is no problem. |

Yes, but the OP asked "Or can I just sell the Europe map?" - which I took to mean that one option, at least, was to sell the map but keep the device.
Anyone buying the map would need a new activation code to use it on their device, but TT wouldn't oblige because their records would show it still registered to the OP's device.

true he could sell it but as pointed out the europe map the OP wasnt to sell has been activated it maybe another user could get it working but the scond owner of the map would not be entitled to any dicounted map upgrade should they come out also if there was a plroblem with the map then tomtom would refuse to help the new owner of the europe map
the usa map the OP has could be sold as that ha not been activated yet as far as i know

If you read again, what he actually said was "I cannot think of a use for it as I may just sell my current TT with the Europe maps when I leave the UK and buy a new unit in Canada.
There is no problem as far as I know with selling a Satnav, complete with the installed maps. Or am I missing something in the EULA which would allow him to sell the device, but which would prohibit transfer of the mapping along with it? |

We need an edit facility in this forum.
Carrying on from my post above. Since he has a TT One with the mapping on an original card, what's to stop him selling the original card which is pre-activated, and will work on any device? Or is this something else that is banned? |

| You CAN sell an original SD card as long as it's with the Product Code Card (software licence) or you can sell a TT with a back-up card in it along with the PCC as long as you don't then sell the original SD card separately. |

No - you re-read everything he actually said, and not just selective quotes! Even though it seems most likely that he would sell the device and map together - which wouldn't be a problem, he was also considering the option of selling just the Europe map. That was what I was commenting on.

Blimey!! He said this and he said that.
At the end of the day, he sells what he likes when he likes and how he likes.
Is it legal, is it illegal, truthfully who gives a stuff.
It really isn't any of my business.
This whole site is becoming a mouthpiece for wannabe lawyers and the self righteous. Next thing will be an animation of Kenny everett going across the screen with two big hands singing Bruvverlee lurvve.....  |

Steady on GO-Go-910.....
YOU might not care what is legal or not, but the OP asked the question so presumably he does care, and he deserves a reasoned answer - and preferably one that is CORRECT.
Could one of the admin team (who has a way past TomTom's first line customer services nightmare), get a definitive answer for the poor guy? |

Wow.... I see there is a stagnating can o' worms here.....
So, if I get this straight....I should probably just sell the unit as a whole in the summer and re-purchase back in Canada, which makes the UNUSED north America map useless to me.
( Unless you guys think it would be more up to date than a unit purchased summer/fall of this year? )
What would a decent price be for the NA map be?
