Are software upgrades free?

 

[nigel cross]

Yes, but I allways check first to see if it gives me anything new that I want, working on the assumption If its not broken, don't fixit.

Yup I apply that logic to all software upgrades!

 

[Bigtommy]

what if you down load them and they **** up the original software ?

 

[BTB 500]

That's the (usually very small) risk you take with any upgrade. Hence not doing it unless you've got a good reason to.

Nothing for TomTom Navigator yet though, only GO

I'm holding off upgrading at the moment as reading the pocketworld gps forums it seems the functionality of the free speed camera database is compromised in some cases.

One major benefit of the upgrade though is that the POI limit is back to around 40 from the 28 limit that Ver 5.201 imposed.

*EDIT* Moving to Electronics Section...

This software rev also fixes the non-compatibility with the new Sony Ericsson phones, for those people out there with Go700's and K750/W800's

Talking of software I came across this great bit kit for editing Poi’s and collecting auto poi updates
It does the lot from Tomtom to Garmin and Navman
Worth checking out
