Some of the new features, eg map update, will not work with the 6 series maps. You will therefore have to buy the updated maps in the new 7 series. I expect TomTom will give the version 7 navigation software free if you buy the new maps

It's very likely, but I wouldn't want it right now - it's full of bugs

The 'series 6 (or 7) numbering of the map isn't important. It is the TeleAtlas release which is the key. As an example, the 675.140x maps on the ONE XL are from TA release 2007.1.

Yes Tim, but I know someone who has tried to use 675.1409 with Navcore 7, and when attempting to use the map correction facility has had a message to update to the latest maps using TomTom Home

That would depend on the Navcore 7 build; 675 is a suitable map.

Old TeleAtlas maps should work fine with Navcore 7, BUT the enhanced features (such as Mapshare) will not work.
Yours being Navteq MIGHT be an extra headache but shouldn't be.... |

Without any prior knowledge, I think it might be a problem. I believe that MapShare was a tie-in between TomTom and TeleAtlas, which has since progressd into TomTom making an offer to buy TA. I doubt if a similar agreement with NAVTEQ exists especially as TomTom announced the termination of their contract with NT.

Sorry, should have been more specific...
I meant to say that Navteq maps might be useable on Navcore 7, not that Mapshare would work with them.  |
