Hi,

Please could someone tell me what the latest map version is, and when the next one is due out?

I've got a new device being delivered today and need to know when it's best to use the Latest Map Guarantee.

If one has just come out, i'll hang on and hope the next one comes out before my 90 days is up.

If one is due soon then i'll hang on for that.

Having said that, i'm travelling from the North East UK to France in a few weeks time, so it depends how old the map is from the box....

Thanks,

Ian

The latest is 890.4xxx and if they go as they have done in the past, one is due in around 2 -3 weeks.

Hi,

Great, thanks!

I'll hang on then and use the latest map guarantee on that when it comes out.

What's the easiest way of seeing that release? - are they posted anywhere?

Hopefully my new unit will come with a recent map already on, or 895 will drop before I go away.

Thanks,

Ian

It just arrived and is maps v885.4050, Release date: 1/2012

Shame it's not 890, but I guess that's current enough to head to France and keep the latest map guarantee for 895 if it's not out before I go...

Thanks,

Ian

Maybe you will get the new one when it comes out in the next week or so, depending on your device

When I registered a new unit (via 135) a few days ago, I got this message


Quote:
Latest Map Guarantee
To ensure you start driving with the latest map, we have started a 90 day free trial Map Update Service for you. This means that you are entitled to download every update of your map that is released within 90 days of first using your device. You already have the latest map, but we'll inform you via email if another map is released during this time. For more information checkwww.tomtom.com/latestmap



Which is different from the usual message, and states you will get EVERY update for the next 90 days - so 2 I presume for (almost) everyone

Like I said, this may be only for the latest release units, but either way good news Very Happy

Connected another Go 1000 Live today (bargain on sale at Comet at £139 for UK & Ireland / £159 for Europe, New) and it too got exactly the same message

So it definitely looks like their policy has changed (improved)

Hi,

Yeah, I do see that same message - that's good!

It also automatically updated me to the 890 map without asking if I wanted to use the Latest Map Guarantee.

Maybe they changed it when they went from Home to MyTomTom....

I've got a few TomToms and haven't noticed this (evening with MyTomTom) until last week

Either way, we will find out if it is what it says it is in the next week or so!
