Camper Max 7

[VFR800]

I have bought a new Tom Tom Camper Max 7 and reading the manual, it talks about a Gen 2 version. How do I find out if my device is Gen 2? Thanks.

My best guess .. serial number.

The original release of the Camper Max 7" had a serial that started with ZW, but a later release with an updated GPS chip (supply chain issue IIRC) started with YC. Other than that, there were no hardware differences.

That could be what they're referencing, but some context would help. What does your manual say about "Gen 2"?

According to the User Manual there is no difference between the Tomtom GO Camper Max and the Camper Max 2nd Gen

Thanks for the replies both.
Mine is a YC prefix serial number so I am hoping it is a 2nd Gen.
I have sent a message to Tom Tom support asking them the question.
My manual just keeps referring as follows:
TomTom GO CAMPER MAX / CAMPER MAX 2nd GEN User Manual
So it would make you think there is a difference. Willy875, what page does it say there is no difference?
Cheers.

If you look at the details of the User Manual there is no difference between the 2 Camper models.

if you get a response from Tomtom customer service post the response here.

Not sure why as I don't think there's any way for you to discern a difference without opening the case and checking which GPS chip was used.
