Hi guys,

I spoke to someone today that said you can update the cd for the satnav maps for just the state you live in and its only $30-$40 instead of updating for the whole country. Does anyone know if this is true?

Thanks.

Don't know but really doubt it! All GPS maps are country wide, otherwise what's the point. You can get "parts" of Europe but again country by country.

on the subject, sorry to thread steal..

Does anybody know where u can get the latest Australia TomTom maps for download?? I presume u just stick them on an SD card that goes in the tomtom?

Ive got a Basic tomtom One, which when new was like $480... now a measley $150. Well I want to get the latest aussie maps, and they will cost about $120+ for a new SD card.

Shove that up your pie hole I say! Id rather buy a new unit. (which is obviously the idea planned by tomtom)

Good luck with that idea. There used to be some places on the net where you can download pirate Navman maps onto DVD or stick. I guess they have it for TomTom as well. I did it years ago for an old system I had, but these days they are pretty sophisticated. The maps are down loaded from the web for most systems and you have to buy them. They now have a map update service which costs you about $20 per qtr to update your maps. I gave up the pirate stuff. Just not worth the effort. At least the update service is a bit cheaper than replacing the maps every year or so. I have all the maps of the world cos I travel a lot. Worth every penny IMO. Hopefully other members might be able to help.

Apparently the state only upgrade is for standalone gps's. Not the built-ins. Not sure.

TomTom, portable GPS car navigation systems

U have to install TomTom Home then plug youy GPS into your computer & buy the map off the site thru TomTom Home. It downloads to your computer & you load it on. It's pretty simple, it explains each step fairly well.
