I have been on their website, and can find nowhere to email or contact them.

You can update the software online, but do not see a facility to update the maps.

Has anyone updayed maps, or know how to?

I have noticed a few mistakes on my travels and have use a facility on thier website to let them know, hoping they will update.

you have to buy a newer version of the maps. They are not that accurate in UK and they don't seem to update annoying errors that regularly

thing is to edit any problems you have, ie: set it as a no go area. or any you know of before you go. it can take up to 5 years for maps to get updated. most of tomtom takes 2-3 years from what i can see, hope that helps.

I have had Tomtom on a PDA for about 4 years. They update the program and maps about every 12 to 18 months. Last June it cost 59 euro for the new stuff. I expect the same this year. If not enough people report issues with the maps than they don't know to fix it. If you buy a TT 700 now you can have  free upgrade to the new maps, so they are coming out. I get a visit from the Tomtom rep  monthly so if I hear any more I'll let you all know.

We used our pda-based Tomtom at the weekend, for the first time 'properly'. It was an absolute godsend! I know what you mean regarding updates, however Tomtom aren't responsible for the mapping data and it's accuracy, it's a company called TeleAtlas, who seem to be the mappers of choice for the majority of satnav manufacturers.

The Garmin maps seem to be much better, more up to date. Still like my tomtom better and I can live with the 0.000001% of the time it gets it wrong -

The is a facility on their website, like I said, where you can send update info.

Since I got mine at cribo, I have sent about half a dozen errors on the maps.

But to be fair, i use it a lot, and it is quite accurate.
