Tom Tom Go....Urgent Request - OAP
A friend of mine is urgently wanting to obtain maps of USA (especially for Florida) to use on his Tom Tom Go when he uses a hire car over there shortly.

Tom Tom have told him that the old version maps have been discontinued but that the new ones are not yet available!

He has tried E-Bay without success.

Can anyone come up with a solution other than the suggestion which I would make...ie...that he takes the sat-nav with him in the hope that he can purchase the necessary SD card states-side?

He could hire a car out there with Sat Nav. Frankly tho the american freeway system is so good, that despite the poor maps its easy to navigate about. Specially in Florida.

Has your friend tried logging on to ebay.com as opposed to ebay.co.uk?

Try scouring the P2P networks, I use Shareaza.

Not that I advocate downloading copyrighted material. Ahem.

E-mewl is a peer to peer file sharing network. Not exactly a legal way to obtain software.
