TomTom Maps!

It’s been a busy week, hence the lack of posts. I seem to be working longer days than usual trying to squash the backlog of outstanding jobs, but it’s all good since I now get to claim them all back. :) I don’t think anyone really thought about that for very long…

Anyway, when I finally got home from work last night (it was almost 6!) I had an email from TomTom waiting. To my total disbelief, it was the long awaited map upgrade to v13. Now it doesn’t sound like much, but considering I put the form in for the maps over 7 months ago, that’s a pretty poor effort. I mean, v14 will be due out soon, and I’ve only just upgraded.

Funnily enough I’ve been driving around with the old maps and they’ve never been a problem, except for Darren’s house which according to TomTom was on a street that didn’t exist. I’m happy to report that all of that is now fixed (about time!) and the updated POIs are really useful too. They now actually have the HRC properly documented as well as local favourites like Finz. It’s just a shame that TomTom took so long to get around to their customers.

It dawned on me the other day that I’ve had TomTom for over a year now and its something I use every day. Maybe I’ll have to look at upgrading it in the future… perhaps when they release a newer version of the 910.
