Try searching the forum, it shouldn't be too hard to find. If you have any of these lying around from other devices digital cameras, PS3 controller charging then they will work fine. I will give it a go when my new cable comes to double check it won't update the maps, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't. No, I didn't have another cable that would fit it so I had to buy another one but I got one for about so it's not broke the bank! I did try searching the forum as well before I posted but I couldn't see anything.
I will keep on looking though because loads of things come up so maybe I've missed it! Not having much luck over this lol. Thanks anyway. Oh hummmmm The only totally free things you get from TomTom are updates to the software, GPSFix which is a simple predictor file that lets the unit latch on to satellites more quickly and MapShare.
It is NOT a free map upgrade. When you buy a TomTom you get one free map upgrade to bring your installed map up to the latest version. Unfortunately if you leave it too long to use it or already have the latest version then it won't work. After that every single map you install has to be paid for.
And about the only source of maps is TomTom. I have seen websites eBay for example offer maps on SD card but I have my doubts about those. Basically TomTom and all the sat nav companies guard their map data very closely. So you are very unlikely to find genuine, fully up to date maps anywhere other than the manufacturers websites. TomTom maps are also locked to the device they are installed on so cannot be transferred between units.
So no 'borrowing' a mates device to copy maps. They simply won't work! Hey, I haven't check back here for a few days. Thanks for all that information! My new cable came and as I thought it didn't upgrade the maps just the other software on it.
I haven't looked at MapShare thing yet, I was wondering what it was so I'll give it a go when I have time. I thought the choice would be either to buy the newer maps from TomTom themselves or to stick with the old ones - I just hoped maybe there was an alternative I hadn't come across lol.
At least if I buy it from there I know it should work and be genuine. I'll just have to decide if it's worth it. Shame you can't just pay for a subscription to cover any updates within a certain timescale rather than keep making one off purchases of them.
But whatever makes the most profit I suppose You're right - I did miss that! That sounds like a decent deal without any hassle However I went on that part of the site and I went to click to get a personal quote for my device, connected my TomTom as asked and the only option to buy the maps seem to be the single maps not the subscription, which is still the same price as I originally thought. So maybe it is something that came with the newer TomToms or you had to register within a certain time.
Mine doesn't seem to support Map Share either! You may find that to use the Subscription you have to have a certain level of map already installed.
I got that impression when I took out a subscription. So if your map is not the current one you won't be able to subscribe to the incremental updates. As for Mapshare that was a fairly recent introduction and does not work on your version of maps. You may also need to upgrade the software too if you haven't already done so.
Mapshare is perhaps the wrong name for what it actually is. It is a way of both alerting TomTom to errors in the maps and for sharing certain types of corrections with other users. You can alert TomTom to something like a new road that is not yet on the map. However until TomTom get round to releasing an entirely new map with the new road you will never see it on your map.
Nor will any one else. Basically anything that requires re-drawing the map never appears on your device. You can however correct something like a one way street that is marked the wrong way round.
Or correct the name of a road. You can block roads or junctions, so for example if there is a junction with a No Right Turn restriction you can mark that. For example moving them to the correct location, I could waste a sizeable portion of my life correcting the hundreds of errors just in Reading for example.
God help anyone unfamiliar with the town who relies on the POIs. But Mapshare can be a double edged sword. It is handy for correcting minor errors and sharing them with other TomTom owners. But not so good when some plank goes and totally blocks the A40 as happened when Mapshare first came out!
