West Coast Map VS USA/Canada Map

[chbix]

Hello,

Just got a Tomtom One Third Edition S.
Plugged it in, downloaded the Home, installed the maps and started messing around.

My tomtom came with a usa/canada map, but when browsing other maps, I saw that they also have individual regions.

I was wondering if the regional maps contained more information then the generic usa/canada maps.

They do not. They are 'chunks' of the entire map.

who knows with tomtom. However, if done properly they should have more detail. why? well, tomtom has a north american map which is too large to fit on the internal memory available on one models. because of this they have produced a canada/usa map with fewer details and smaller poi database.

The north american map has much more detail than us/canada in my area for sure.

IF (and I don't know what they've done) the regional maps are chunks of the north american map, they should be better maps for the specific area. at the very least the regional maps should have a larger poi database.

but as I said, who knows with tomtom.......

Yes, you CAN have more detail and/or POI, by using the regional maps for the larger GPS models.

Use this link to find the largest compatible regional map for the area you want.
(Change the GPS and select the map to compare sizes)
