I have just bought a Tomtom XL from Amazon. The SW told me my map is up to date, yet, I know the map was released at 2007. Instead of going thru the tool->latest map guarantee menu, I went to other menu to purchase the map, the message said my map is 5 quarter behind and then when I tried to purchase, it showed the version of the map available to my system is at 8.xxx.I will have to call Tomtom tomorrow to find out what's going on.

That's the question though, how do they define when we "start" using it? The sales receipt date? The first date we connect our devices online? The day we register for an account? I'm concerned whether I have 20-something days left, or if the countdown hasn't begun.

I just had the same problem. Considering the box had the sticker on the bottom redone, I'm suspecting tomfoolery from the Amazon 3rd party it came from. Calling TomTom when I can.

I just bought a map upgrade from them, and it's at least 2 years out-of-date. They told me that I could not get my money back.

Chris,I ordered my Garmin 370 on August 8, and just received it on August 13. Unfortunately, this unit appears to have the outdated map of North America. How can I confirm that the v9 European map is on the unit? How long did it take for you to receive the newly-released North American maps from Garmin? I live in the UK, but will be in PA until August 26, 2007. Am I likely to receive the maps before departing from the USA? I plan to call Garmin tomorrow to request the newly-released N. American maps free of charge. Did your request for the updated maps require negotiation or was the representative easily convinced to provide the maps free of charge?Thanks for your feedback!

Has anybody been able to download a voice to the XL 325 that will read the Street Names? My TomTom 930T reads Street Names and I find that very useful. THanks for your help.

It is good for 30 days per the instructions on the box. I usually write the date I opened it on the box to remind me.

I'm not sure when it expires, but I would guess that it already has? All the DLC is for multiplayer, so if you're like me and are only interested in the single player campaigns, then no need to worry about.

I have the same problem. Connected to device to my Mac and received an updated map, which took over one hour. Now the map can't be activated and I receive an error message. Just called TomTom and I was told that I can't download an updated map wireless due to the compression of the file. I would need a cable internet connection to fix this. I have never heard such a story and it doesn't make any sense to me (I use AT&T; U-Verse). Has anyone ever heard about this before?

Yes, my 920 came preloaded with maps of North America and some maps (I believe the Central Europe) of Europe, but TomTom has never offered any upgrades on those maps. Only on North American ones. After about 13 months the battery died and I found that is not replaceable and TomTom wanted me to buy a new unit. I am now using my smart phone for navigation. It works better and all over the world.

The Tom Tom 1535 I purchased had free maps for the life of the unit. You can buy Tom Toms for less money that do not have this feature. This is my understanding when I purchased this unit. So far, I keep getting up dates on the unit.

Actually did answer to this question before. The expiration Date should be found right on the edge of the sticker.Depending on the your date of purchase, you will have your date of exp different ...good luck...!!

I am very upset about this. The Amazon website states that maps of US, Canada, Mexico, and Europe are included with lifetime updates. I bought this unit for European driving and bought this specifically for free lifetime European map updates. Even if you go to TomTom's web site, it mentions free lifetime updates. No where on the page for this device does it say that European map updates are not included. I called TomTom and the customer service was horrible. After 20 minutes on hold I explained to a "supervisor" that this was deceptive and wrong and he hung up on me. This company is deceptive and has disdain for it's customers.

FREE Maps MUST be activated within 90 days. This is NOT mentioned in the Tom Tom propaganda.

Does it or doesn't it include updates of European maps? Can TomTom set the record straight on this?

I do not believe there is any way to know that answer without asking the seller directly. The box will not be expired, and a person who is using the test strips to manage their diabetes (or prediabetes) will have no trouble using it before they "expire". The only significant expiration date that I am aware of is that you should use each drum of test strips within 90 days, or else your readings may be inaccurate. These are not like milk or eggs, which may go off if you leave them sitting past their "expiration". If the strips are stored in the proper conditions, they will be fine.

Here is how you can "discover" that the 540TM World Traveler with Lifetime Map Updates, doesn't include updates to the European maps. Go to the TomTom site. Choose products, then the 540TM World Traveler. Click on "Lifetime Map Updates" -- it's really a link. Look at the sidebar box. On the lower right hand side, there's a small arrow. Click on that arrow THREE times, to get to the last "page". There it is, buried as the very last sentence -- no map updates for Europe. Seems pretty deceptive to me, to bury an important statement like that, for an edition of the GPS that is specifically for people who are likely to want European map updates.

My subscription ran out this spring so if the areas I saved were updated I didn't notice an improvement. I can still view maps I had saved during my subscription. The quality isn't as good as googlemaps.com but considering the price I paid I felt they were worth it. It does make things better than looking at a plan topo map.
