Hi just checked and it now says purchased but!! but how do I know its downloaded truck tomtom maps, because theirs no download button? it just says purchased and thats it...?

can anybody tell me why its says I can upgrade to truck tomtom maps when I alread bought them? now it wants 20 euros to upgrade them. I thought updates was free?

I have been using TomTom maps for several years for use with my motorhome. Although not as large as a truck Navigator recently tried to route me down a road with a 2m width restriction. I did wonder whether upgrading to the truck version would be possible, but it appears that this might cost me €49.99 as a new purchase. It that correct.

I am unsure just how diligent TomTom is at making updates. I purchased the last update in February but still come across roundabouts and modified junction that are not shown on the maps but have obviously been in place for some time.

I understand why printed maps are often so far out of date but not why digital ones should be.

Does TomTom publish a list of changes between one release and another or even which countries have been changes? It would make it easier to justify upgrading if you knew you were getting real value for money and not paying for upgraded to countries I have no imminent intention of visiting!

Finally do you display which release of maps is currently installed. I have looked but could not find it anywhere

Hi Tomas

Yes I saw that but where does it tell you what version is currently installed? Would TomTom recognise version 51 if I aked them or is that MapFactor's numbering?

What about upgrading from standard to truck?

Just looked at TomTom website. It appear that they update the maps 4 times a year as follows

2014

Feb v925

May v930

Aug v935

Nov v940

However there is no clue to the changes made between versions and no correlation to Navigator map updates.

we get maps from TT four times per year
late March, late June, late September and late December
we release it four to six weeks later

on Android
europe 25 euros
single country 20 euros
