When using the RoutePlanner beta, I can understand that an "online" map is used. I currently have a question in with TomTom about why we can't be sure that a route will be planned the same way on our unit even with the latest map installed. They say that the one on the RoutePlanner may be newer.
Now I have a further confusion. When I tried "operate my tomtom" using TomTom Home, I tried a local route to see whether there were some "new" roads included since the latest Mapshare update. Much to my surprise, the "new" road was shown. However with my unit disconnected from the PC, the road seemed to have disappeared.
Is this possible? What map is used when running "Operate my TomTom" from Home? I thought a simulator ran the application on the PC, but used the map and POI data in the unit.
