Hello everyone,

The new 8.70 maps are now available for download and purchase.

As well as containing improvements in our current map road coverage, there are also several new maps available:

Eastern Atlantic Islands (Canary Islands, Azores, Madeira)
French Guiana
Western Mediterranean Islands (Malta, Menorca, Ibiza, Sicily, Sardinia, Corsica)
Southeast Asia map (Hong Kong, Macau, Malaysia, Singapore, Brunei, Thailand, Indonesia)

For devices using MyTomTom you will have the option to purchase an updated version of your current map (Map Update Service users will have an updated map available for download).

Additional maps for MyTomTom users are planned for release within the coming month.

Still not possible in Ireland

When you select device GO1000/1005 you get this message

When you download your newly purchased map, it will replace the map on your device, if there is not enough memory on your device to fit them together. You can re-install the original map at any time.

After that the select map section is greyed out & you can not procede any further.

I don't understand ! It replaces the old map totally. The old one is gone and just the new one is on the device.

is it normal that after update tomtom home shows "Your map has not been updated for more than 20 weeks. Unfortunately Map Share map corrections are temporarily not available"?

That's normal. No need to worry. In a couple of weeks, this message will be gone and you will be able to download the MapShare corrections.

Does this MyTomTom update in a few weeks include itinerary planning also or just MapShare?

When I update to the new maps my postcode/address search no longer works. I can only navigate from addresses in my favorites. I have restored back and all works ok. Have then re-loaded the new maps and have the same problem. Any ideas?

Are you not able to plan a route by inputting the address or is it using a recent destination.

I found that some recent address destinations had to be redone by putting city, street and number/cross st in .

It produced error messages on some but not all.

I am unable to plan routes by inputting addresses. Recent addresses and my favorites still work. As soon as I go to input address my XL switches off and then goes back to the start up screen. Now I have restored back again all works fine
