Re: TomTom Update ?
Last time I looked, (which was a few years ago), it was about £60/70. Decided to wait & buy a newer, hopefully cheaper TomTom when I had a good enough reason.

Re: TomTom Update ?
my garmin needs an update £80 which isnt worth it as new units come with lane guidance for that sort of money.
On the topic of updates, with the factory fitted sat nav i sort of see that belfast doesnt come up on the city search, this is a 2000 disk, did any disks cover Northern Ireland?

Can't imagine the Pug sat nav to be less than perfect, but it is an 11 year-old disk.
When was Belfast built, exactly?

Re: TomTom Update ?
perhaps it doesnt actually exhist, but dublin the capital of ireland doesnt come up either. So its really a very useful sat nav for me if i want to get to birmingham but not somewhere like newry where i might actually go.dogslife wrote:Can't imagine the Pug sat nav to be less than perfect, but it is an 11 year-old disk.

Re: TomTom Update ?
yes there all free off that forum.
but you have to download it . copy it to device.
then use an activating tool to activate the map on the device. it sounds easy but its not if its your 1st time.
i use a program called alberts easy activator. but forgot how to use it proper

Re: TomTom Update ?
My bro's sent me one of these things through the post for driving to the UK next month and I must admit I've not got a sodding idea what to do with it. I just connected it to my pc and looked at updating it but I'm a bit worried in case I turn it into a paperweight somehow. Burger that, I let him talk me through it on Skype.

Re: TomTom Update ?
The final version of the Navteq mapping data for the Peugeot/Citroen monochrome sat-nav system was released in 2006. There is no newer data than that, and there never will be.
According to Navteq's website, there should be data for NI - at least on the 2006 CD - but at 119 EUR, I think they can keep their bloody disc.
