The question you should be asking is "Does anybody NOT see that'

I think all of us who signed up still see that message, Smokie. You should have gotten a confirmation email. Just keep that and ignore the message.

Okay. After reading through this whole thread this is what I've come up with (as a Canadian and having to live with the purchases being charged in Euros)

Cost to upgrade to 825 = 35.8 Euros = 59.73 CDN (I'm 5 qtrs out of date)
Cost to enroll in Map Update Service = 35.8 Euros = 59.73 CDN
Total cost = $119.46 (plus any extra currency conversion fees levied by cc company)

Cost of refurbed TTOne 3rd Ed. from TigerDirect = $99.99 CDN

Makes more sense to just buy the refurb (I own a 2nd edition around 2 yrs old). I'll have the current map, a 3rd edition vs. a 2nd edition, a newer unit, and an extra one for the other vehicle. In my opinion, they kind of ruin the offer by making you first upgrade to 825.

Just remember that refurb units are not automatically given the latest map guarantee in North America.

OK, I got it. I should have checked the earlier messages. Oh well, I was hoping you could tell me that a pin reset would take care of it!!! LOL!!! Sorry, couldn't resist.

If you get a refurbished and it has a "Latest map guarantee card"; email TomTom NA and attach a copy of your receipt and a copy of the card with the code on it. They will give you a 825 map update,

That is what I did, no problems.

FWIW, it doesn't matter if they bill you in euros or USD ... per customer service, all download transactions are handled in Amsterdam ... so you'll pay that 3% CC fee even if you live in Arkansas.

Make no mistake about it...TomTom is a European company. It's North American operations appear to be little more than a sales office, it seems.

Annoying.
