TomTom has started sales of the new 7.25 and 8.10 maps for all devices. These maps are based on the 2008.4 Tele Atlas release.
From today, TomTom is offering new maps for all SatNavs provided by the Dutch company. TomTom is releasing the maps as version 8.10 for the GO x30 and x20 series, and 7.25 for all other devices. The maps are based on the Tele Atlas April release (2008.4).
Just as previous updates, the maps are only for sale as a direct download from TomTom. This means the maps are not available as a separate purchase on DVD, CD or CD at your local shop. Installation of the new maps can be done easily through TomTom's desktop application HOME.
8.10 maps
What's new in this release is that the version 8 maps are now also suitable for TomTom GO x20 devices. This effectively means new NavCore 8 features like IQ Routes and Lane Guide Assistant will now become available for this range of TomTom SatNavs. For devices which run NavCore 7 and the other devices running NavCore 8, TomTom is releasing the 7.25 map version. These maps do not contain these new features, and so they are cheaper than the 8.10 maps for version 8.
Warranty
Prices of the new maps can be found on the
TomTom website or via TomTom HOME.
As previously with other updates, TomTom is offering a so-called 'latest map guarantee'. This means that if new maps become available within 30 days of purchasing a TomTom SatNav, new owners can download these new maps for free. So it might be worth checking your receipt...

Intelligence vs Intellect/Conditionings
When a person is for or against, he’s operating in “godding” or “godded” mode. He knows it all or really knows nothing. Ego vs Conditionings. Aggression vs Depression. Accelerator vs Brake. Maculinity vs femininity. Stupidity vs Dumbness. To circumvent such tricky mind-fields, one should always revert back to logic aka intelligence. Meaning?
Meaning, why is my TT720 always getting things wrong other than major trunks like motorways [and who in noddie-land needs help when driving along the motorway? – You !! Bless my boots !]. Why can’t I locate POIs in my locality which is in a city? Why can’t I locate simple things like a major-ish airport? I’m lying or incompetent now, am I? And finally, why are the mappers in WEU located in some small place which is mostly under sea-level? Could that be why their seemingly DIY-ish technique in mapping the UK be unduly influenced by perhaps being made to question whether "today" might bring that doomsday flood or not?
What, getting annoyed already? What about me and my parting of £250+++ for semi-junk, “not fit for the purpose” etc. etc. What? Return it to the retailer and contrast my opinion to theirs as to the suitability and merchantability? Doesn’t TT knows about this [and the fact that without “GPS-fix”, it takes ages for satellite lock-ons which was NOT there until GPS-fix really fixed the firmware for good – marketing lock-in perhaps]. Am I lying again? Neither stupidity nor dumbness is the word. Deceit, subtefuge, connivance, greed-cum-fear and anything devolutionary you can think of, perhaps? Now, how about giving me REAL updates for THE UK, which is mostly above sea-level and as such, the populace need not wonder if a doomsday flood might happens tomorrow and thence perhaps those DIY-mappers will do a proper mapping job, one that does not require “updates” to missing roads and road names. ‘Mack, if you’ve just awaken from the Ice Age, we, the learned few, are intelligently discussing about lane-change and similar advanced, intelligent, 23rd century GPS highlights which will bypass you completely”. “What, like Navigon’s & now, Blaupunk’s Achtung stuff that most are starting to parrot you mean, sweeties. Do you think our dear Teutonic brothers will do a better job of mapping the UK? No? impossible? Afterall, what do they know.”
Guess what. I’m voluntarily generous about PAYing the likes of TT more money to obtain a REAL update - and no plural please. Is that fair or more “updates” of the “Tulips really do cost more than houses, you know” variety before we can receive real maps. No, not those that work on motorways mainly, thencee the “lane-change” over-spiel, perhaps, but those that will deliver me to some area near some major trunk without me wondering whether to tow along my old paper maps. You disagree dear know-it-all? You are not related to the architect of those maps by any chance? If so, they need you to locate and map precisely where those doomsday floods just might creep and overwhelm your brothers and sisters. Thank God for human intellect, intelligence can take a well derserved rest. Judge others if one must but why not judge others’ motives first? Eh? Atterall, satisfaction is just another word for Love-in-progress. Yours lovingly, blinkered .... |
