TomTom MOBILE 5 Map update?

TomTom MOBILE 5 Map update? Hi All,

I currently have a Nokia N70 with the following properties:

TomTom MOBILE Version 5.200 (443)
GPS Driver v1.20
Map: 'GREAT_BRITAIN_MAP' V562
English UK

I was in town last night and the damn thing didn't take into account the fact that the city of london has been rebuilt over the last few years so it tried steering me into a carpark!

Is there any place I can download the map? Is there a method I can you update my exsisting map? I paid a fortune for the tomtom receiver a few years ago as well as the phone, if I can't update the maps then the software and kit is useless. And it seems I can't update to tomtom 6 for some reason on the n70, is it me or is tomtom a joke nowadays?

Thanks in advance!

    Think with Tom Tom (and most other GPS software providers) you have to buy updated maps to get the latest ones.

    Check the software for any "update" function ( in the mobile software or and CD you got with it!)

    I'd try Nokia's maps if your phone supports it. Or try Garmins software (I liked it on my nokia before i got a worldwide code for my Nokia maps)

    Hi, I checked TomTom don't do updated maps for tomtom nav 5. I was thinking whether there was a way to complie tomtom Nav 6 maps to tomtom nav 5 so you could update that way...
