Credit to those who've uploaded so promptly...

Cheers!

I'm a newbie to this.

Probably a stupid question to all of you, but do all 3 parts have to be downloaded and used? I ask as after downloading and decompressing all 3 parts they all have the same file names and sizes so would only one of the parts be required and there's just a choice of 3 options to choose from when downloading?

Thanks.

Just decompres first part (or any individual part for that matter) and program will find the other parts. So if you have done all three than you will three exastly same files. You can delete two of them. The files are posted in parts because file share sites ( RapidShare) will only allow files up to 100MB.

OK, thanks. So if I just delete parts 2 & 3 and just use part 1 that will be OK making the overall size of files to be used (for UK & I)around 246mb?

Is there a step by step guide around to refer to as, never having done this before I want to make sure it doesn't go wrong?

Thanks.

You need all thre parts of the rar file!!! If you have WinRar than just right click on one of the three (or more ) parts of the rar file and click on extract here or to where ever and you will get just one file from all three parts of rar file. So you only do this once on one of the parts of a rar files.
For examle:

If you have three files called TT6Maps.part1.rar, TT6Maps.part2.rar and TT6Maps.part3.rar.
All you need to do is extract one of them because WinRar will detect other parts and extract to one file or folder in this case it would be TT6Maps folder.

Thanks, it's much clearer now!

I live in Sheffield UK, a school was rebuilt 3 YEARS AGO but this LATEST map still tells me to turn off a roundabout and go up a road but this school is in the way and the road no longer exists !!!!
As said elswhere in this thread I'd be rather p***ed off if I'd forked out my hard earned cash for this.

@firestorm: the best way to complain about old versions of a map is not here in this forum (because nobody can help you...) but there is a possibility to report wrong maps, new streets etc. directly to Teleatlas (they produce the maps for eg tomtom, google.maps etc.):

http://216.107.234.202/ForConsumers/...urceNodeId=401

I did that myself, because I'm missing the street I'm living in. (was build 5-6 years ago!). The reports are supposed to take effect in a couple of months within a new map release.

Doesn't take much time, and simply: why not?

Hope I could help you,

Reported as above. See how long it'll take to filter through !!!

Hi, i downloaded both parts of 6.60.1223, extracted to a folder, then copy / pasted them onto the sd card in the map folder, which overwrote some files as you would expect, the maps are there ok because i now have ireland coverage but the version still says 6.575. (im using tomtom 510).

Any ideas anybody ?

Cheers in advance.

Taking a quick glance at the 6.75 US/Canada maps. They seem to have significantly less POIs. In contrast the 6.60 maps had POIs for Doctors and Dentists which the 6.75 maps lack among other things.

Can anyone confirm if these new 675 maps are Teleatlas or Navteq? I know the 660 USA ones were Navteq.

Can some1 give me the maps of Bosnia and Croatie or whole Eastern Europe?
And does this work on every version of tom tom? Because i dont know what version i have

thx in advance

firestorm1uk,

Same problem here: UK and Ireland 660.1256 map seems to have more detailed road coverage than the newer 675.1409.
I’m using tomtom 6.020 (8300).

Did anybody else experience the same problem for other maps?

Yeah im from Manchester and i had the 6.60 map (Navteq), now that i have updated to 6.75 (teleatlas), there are alot of differences (a roundabout that was changed to a T junction a few years back is on 6.75 but was correctly changed in 6.60), I think the navteq maps are more up to date so i think i will change back to 6.60 untill navteq release a new Tomtom map.

Does anybody know if Navteq will be releasing a new Tomtom Map??????
