Tom Tom GPS maps

Does anyone know where I can update my tom tom to get free maps from other countries or more updated UK versions?

Not for free, brightonman.

I hear there are so many sites around and no one can help? Does that mean you all pay to update?

Not everyone pays for sat nav updates, just like not everyone pays for music or films

I would suggest that TomTom are also being "ripped off" by wherever they buy the updates to sell on. They are not comprehensively up to date, so yes are quite poor.
I've had three satnavs, Tom Tom being the latest and all have been pretty useless at getting me where I'm going. Only last week I got lost (or Tom Tom got me lost) in Macclesfield, a road was closed which totally confused the nice lady on my satnav. A friendly local pointed me in the right direction as usual. Defeats the object a bit really doesn't it?

If you go to the TomTom web site & download TomTom Home, depending on the model you have, they now have MapShare which updates the maps.

I paid £10 pounds to [EMAIL="qtechcomputers@hotmail.co.uk"]qtechcomputers@hotmail.co.uk[/EMAIL] and they upgraded my tomtom with 2008 maps,2008 camera database and celeberty voices.The above is a email address for Q-tech computers.

Want to upload a map of spain in my tom tom one 3rd edition but they want £39.95 for it! Anyone know of anywhere else I can get it less expensive? Thanks.

Satnavs aren't completely foolproof and require a little bit of common sense when using them. The fact you've had the same problem with three different types suggests the problem doesn't lie with them...

I have no such problems despite using one in a 44 tonne artic. They take no account of low bridges or weight, length and width restrictions as they're designed for cars yet I don't seem to have the issues you do.
