Re: Tom Tom Older Units will run out of Map Capacity

Yup - the one and only I could say Frans :grin: More like 16 to 18 hours for 1000 mile (1615km) Saddlesore though.

Re: Tom Tom Older Units will run out of Map Capacity

Hi Philip & Frans; Since I left Garmap many things have changed and being retired fully and not mapping actively, there has not been much moolah around to update maps and units. I can't use a watch as a GPS and haven't asked my teenage grandchildren how to work Google maps yet so I've stuck with...

Tom Tom Older Units will run out of Map Capacity

I have received an email from TOM TOM which in summary notes: "Since TomTom is no longer creating map updates for older devices, all future map updates and device upgrades will exceed the operational capacities of these devices." In other words the units listed in https://www.tomtom.com/en...

Re: 2011.1 non-nt street map

Hello Robert - Yes Jan is correct. I discovered quite by accident, that both NT and non-NT work just as well on any Garmin unit. Boffins may differ but the older model nuvi's and pukka units in the family haven't grumbled so there must be some truth in this. I had taken a friends laptop to Support a...

Re: Tom Tom Go 630

Nick if you had been to Rectron and they couldn't help then that seems strange to me but then again they're essentially our local warehouse. There should be enough spares supply and repair facility though - I'll check with the Tom Tom office tomorrow - for info because it seems you're sorted. I'll g...
