Map Size

[G4GVB]

A new Western Europe map for a GO 700 is about 1.6 Gb a Western Europe map for a ONE is 862 Mb.
What is the difference (apart from size)?
Academically, would it be possible to put the ONE map on a 700?

Size differences like this are a constant source of speculation in the TomTom community. Most seem to think it's cosmetic. TomTom (if/when they comment) give out mumbo jumbo.

Academically, maps are device/account specific and these days you have to select the "correct" map and matching device or the download website tends to reject you. Anyway, with a nice big hard drive on the 700, why would you even want to put a smaller map on it? They're the same price.

Thanks for that DennisN I don't want to put a smaller map on the 700 it was just an observation. I do have a ONE Europe as well and was concerned about map size and space for future map upgrades. It seems that v7.20 is smaller that v7.10 so maybe thats the trend.
I am sure Tomtom would not make an upgrade that would not fit, or allow a unit not to be upgradable.
