Knowing exactly the map coverage for Bosnia of a tomtom device before buying

Murena

Hello,

I would like to buy a new tomtom device as soon as possible. I have narrowed my choices to either the via 52 or the go basic 5. Both seem to be very similar without much differences.
But my question is different. Both of these devices include lifetime map update for Europe. But it's not clear the extant of this european coverage.
I will go to Bosnia-Herzegovina later this month and I will use my new navigator there. On tomtom belgian page for both these devices, it states that only main roads are covered for Bosnia. On other pages, about tomtom european maps, it states that the coverage for Bosnia is either 77% or even better.
Before buying one of these devices, I would like to know which information is correct about Bosnia. Is there a difference depending on the country where you buy the product ?
If only main roads are included on these navigators, will I be able to update for free to get at least a 77% coverage.

I thank you in advance for your answer.

Best regards,

If you check under "Coverage" at the bottom of each map page you'll see what coverage is and none of these show Bosnia as only a a % covered

Thank you for your answer justmebrowsing. You are right, all your links say it's completely covered.
But here, on the device page, it says only connecting roads: https://www.tomtom.com/en_gb/sat-nav/car-sat-nav/products/via-52/
Here, it says 77% : https://www.tomtom.com/fr_be/lifetime-services/#maps

So which information is correct ?

Thanks in advance

I personally think that info where it says 77% is old news which typically they've never bothered to correct (and most likely won't bother to do either) and I believe you will NOW get the latest maps which do have full coverage as per my links to the current maps/coverage (which understandable do improve/expand over time).
Unless someone else with that exact device/map knows any different of course?

That's also what I'm hoping but what surprise me is on the go basic page, it says only connecting roads too while this is quite a new navigator (less than 1 year). You would think it would have the newer and more complete maps integrated.

Therefore, I was wondering if there is maybe different versions of the Europe map.

If you can confirm me, that the lifetime suscription on via 52 et go basic 5, is exactly to the same map than the one you send me links about, I would be reassured.

I can't confirm this, just use my logic. At the time that device/map was released it probably DID only cover 77% but remember maps are updated 4 times per year so I would expect further coverage & improvements in each release?

Just checked Amazon & there are reviews dating back to June 2018 so probably originally came with v1010 maps & we're now on v1025's which are 3 issues newer

Thank you for your help. You are certainly right. I will confirm when I will have updated the navigator.
