Does any one think the new maps are a great improvement . In my area ,Massachusetts I didnt notice any inprovement
"New" is a relative term, especially with the announcement of the new maps v6.75 released today.
Where is this release? Can we update our maps to this new v6.75 release? Or, do we again need to order a DVD?
I think the new maps that we paid $6 for was the same as the old map just a different # just a way to get some more money now they want to charge us a stupid amount of money for the new new map. WAY TO GO TOMTOM more i read about what they are doing the more i wonder why i have this product because they obviously dont care about there consumers
Hi Cop(Sli).
I beg to differ.
I use Walmart Street Atlas to check the maps. With the old USA-Canada map, in small towns in VT, NH ... TomTom couldn't locate 7 Walmarts out of 10, with the new NorthAmerica map it's the other way around. A big improvement.
TomTom doesn't have much problem in big cities.
incorrect. the new maps have plenty of additions, at least in my area. are they perfect? not at all, but still an improvement.
We advise you not to update your map. You already have one of the most up-to-date maps available. However, you can select maps of other countries or continents.
Note that both of you are in the US. They did NOTHING for Canada and in fact REMOVED things from the Canadian side of the border.
Edit: Hmm, I just checked TeleAtlas' MapInsight and the map errors are still there so I don't feel as bad about the new release at least for my part of the city.
The TT Map web page is back up and it displays the new 2007 maps.
I put in my 2006 product code and got this message:
Ok, I called TomTom Support, and got the skinny on this new downloadable 2007 map update. It is exactly the same maps that we have on our $6.00 DVD. It is labeled as "2007 Maps", to differentiate them from the DVD we have.
Really? WOW, talk about misleading.
Just pulled this off the TT site:
Enjoy the most accurate and detailed maps of the US and Canada ever produced. Update includes:
More than 410,000 new road miles and 500,000 points of interest
More than six million new household and business addresses
Improved road detailing for better visual representation
Updated shopping centers, golf courses and more!
FREE for eligible customers through June 15, 2007!
It would not let me upgrade apparently since I already took the one that just expired. (Which I no longer use because it is so inaccurate!!!)
