Cheaper Maps for Canadians

[dhn]

On the Canadian TomTom web site, the appropriate North American version of the map is now $53.97 while the Western Europe is $59.97, both prices reflect a 40% savings (up from an initial %30 when the Canadian map site started working [finally] a couple of weeks ago).

How long these savings will last, who knows? What's somewhat unusual is the fact that Tom Tom normally does not start discounting existing maps unitil just a couple of weeks before the next update is due. But in this case, we're still a good 6 weeks away from the next scheduled release.

The Original Map Update is valid for one map download on any TomTom GPS device. The Original Map Update will update your currently installed and in-use map. The map download will vary by device, and offer the most up-to-date map available.

I wonder if this will update to the newest N.A. map version 8.40, going for approx $60 cdn on the UK site.
This for the ONE XL and is a whole $7 difference.

Right now, you can get a North American map on the Canadian site for cheaper than the same map shows on the US site. Nice change.......

I notice from your sig line that you have map 710. Might be a good time to: a) update your application to the latest and b) upgrade to map 840 for your unit.

I got an email notice from TomTom yesterday that the current maps were now on sale up to 40% off.

Just went to the US site and the NA_2GB map is $54.97 US. On the Canadian site, it is $53.95 Canadian.

Nah, nah, .............

Oh, Ca-nada . . .

Well, since you you're getting the white stuff today, I guess you can sing that!

(nice voice, Gator!)

Probably 90% sleet and 10% snow. Barely worth a mention. You guys would call it a good day for a picnic.

In some parts of Canada, that would be called 'Summer'

In a hobby forum a guy from Minneapolis complained about Al Gore and his GD global warming. ;->)

I took advantage of this offer, cost was actually only 46.26.

Cheers

That's good to hear. I thought you Manitobans wouldn't let a little thing like 2 feet of snow stop your biking...

Well, my VISA statement just came in at CAD 49.78.
That is 51 % + 2 cents off the list price of 89.95.
The amount is exactly as per invoice including total tax amount shown (8 % + 5 % in Ontario).

rcacs, You drive a Wee! Same here but about 10 time less mileage than you...

How did you guys ended-up with a price of $46.26 and $49.78 when the special price is at $53.97? When I reach check-out, it's at $60.92 with tax.

Thanks

It was thinking it may have to do with the exchange rate too, as I posted mine from the other thread.

Apparently thats USD as I got a $50.77 charge on my CC ,it shows $49.34 USD charged by TomTom]

but the numbers still don't quite work out ,although its still an awesome deal ,compared to what we would have been paying prior to the Mapstore opening.

No exchange rate on mine. As I said, the credit card statement in CAD is the same as the invoice.

Breakdown :
Subtotal: $62.95
Shipping: $0.00
Tax: $5.28
Total: $49.34 USD

It appears the Tax is the difference,although I can't figure out why my CC was charged in USD.

You should contact your Credit Card company..
Your total taxes are 12 % making it the same $ 44.06 net price for the map as I paid.

My credit card statement list a single line, not the triple lines used for purchases in foreign currency.

Is the map updated to the newest version, 8.40 ?
