| Hi - has anyone had any experience of the new maps for GB and ROI? My
maps are version 571, is it worth upgrading? Is there likely to be
another update on the foreseeable future?
Many thanks for your comments.

I have a Tom Tom One that I bought about a year ago. They just
announced new maps (North America) are available, which I can download
after I pay them ~$100.00. Other manufacturers charge much less for
CDs that have to be shipped!
For what I paid for the GPS there is no way I'll spend that much for
updated maps, for which I have no idea how much they have improved
them.
They would make a hell of a lot more money off map upgrades if they
priced them resonably. Now, when anyone asks me which GPS to buy, I
steer them away from Tom Tom and I tell them to check what it will
cost for map upgrades.
Before I pay $100 for a map upgrade I will be "upgrading" my GPS
system!

| By the way, Russell, I believe Garmin charges even more for maps than
TomTom. Please tell us which map supplier is so inexpensive.
I think we all have to resist the need to upgrade maps every year. It's
like software: keep using the older version until it can't do what you want
it to do.
As for Ireland, I have heard that the new v6.75 maps are quite detailed,
whereas the older version is very inadequate.

I wish I could remember who it was that told me he could get a cd with
updated maps for about $40. I think he had a Magellan.
