Just noticed: if any of you have TomTom Navigator 3 on Pocket PC (as I do), the upgrade to TTN v5 is now out - and it includes all the European maps too

Upgrade cost is €68.95 - about £45? - and can (apparently) take up to 5 weeks for delivery, so I wouldn't hang about if you want to be sure of having the upgrade in time. (I tend to think of any quoted delivery time that's more than a week as meaning 'a long time, we've no idea really!').

 

According to the TomTom site, roll out of v5 started in May for European owners. If registered we'll receive an email informing us of when and how to upgrade. I've received nothing yet (I'm registered - TomTom 3 for Palm).

Andy, have you received the newsetter about it?

Or do you have a link for upgrading, as I can't seem to find anything other than the Q&As here and How can I upgrade to NAVIGATOR 5?

Just go to www.tomtom.com and click the big button labelled 'TomTom Upgrade'

 

ps. not sure they have a Palm version of V5 (yet)

 

Doh!, I can't find my TomTom 3 box with the product code in it

 

Stupid me I didn't go to the main page

And yes, it's applicable for Palms too

Thank you

 

Hope you've all paid your 2nd installments now.

 

Found my product code

 

2nd installment done less than 3 months to go excellant.

Ok guys whose driving down in the morning to the Ferry and whos staying the night before?

 

CharlieWhiskey, have you tried just registering with a different email address? Sign up for a free Yahoo or Hotmail account if need be. As long as your product code hasn't been upgraded, you shouldn't have any problem upgrading.

 

I will be travelling down the night before and stopping somewhere in Kent, dunno where yet but possible freebie in Holiday Inn somewhere

Terry not a problem with me not so sure my nieghbours would be that chuffed with a load of Evo and Scoobies starting at 4 in the morning eh!

 

[QUOTE=stormy]Who cares about the neighbours mate - you won't see 'em for another 7 days anyhow...

 

Just seen this pic and it kinda got me thinking...... Stelvio Anyone??

 

And then again - at the top of the Stelvio your car could end up looking like this,....

 

So, seriously.... are we on winter tyres for this trip or what?

 

Not for me Andy.

We will be on the Stelvio around the 8th/9th September and the road is closed off at the end of Sept/ beginning of Oct due to snow. But we should be ok when we are there. Plus we have the Nurburgring which will hopefully take max use of summer tyres.

 

Having problems getting an answer to pay the 2nd instalment!! Does anyone know if there is a problem the other end?

 

Tried again several times today but only ever get the answering machine!!

 

O know I know I am way to late tog et in on this trip and still cant commit due to work commitments but would it be impossible if I just turned up and sorted my own crossings and hotels when I got there. or would this be frowned on.

 

MarvSTI - I also had problems last week - I tried phoning Friday, Monday, Tuesday and kept getting the answerphone, but I had an e-mail from Nick at Dettaglio on Friday 3rd asking if he could take the 2nd payment from the same card I made the first payment from, so don't worry, he's not disappeared off the face of the earth! Might be worth e-mailing him.

 

Thanks for that - I will try again tomorrow and if that fails I will email him (do you have his email address to hand - either post on here or PM me - cheers)

 

2nd installment now paid

2 down - 2 to go

 

Less than 3 months to go

 

Went over Stelvio last week - amazing doesn't come close!

Unfortunatelly, it was the only wet day we had in two weeks, and the top of the pass was shrouded in mist as we climbed up round the hairpins.
We stopped at what we thought was the top of the pass, but on carrying on, we found another 10 hairpins going upwards . Was so misty at the top that we were crawling along at 10mph looking for the marker posts at the side of the road which we could see when they were only yards away

People were skiing at the top of the mountain, but the road was clear of snow. Hundreds of bikes - very brave considering the damp foggy conditions!

The other side was clear of fog, but there were still plenty of hairpins to negotiate.

 

Nice one David - sounds like you had a blast - if indeed a bit of a scary one.

 

It's quiet in here

 

I've started training for the Stelvio Challenge.......

 

That looks like fun - when was that?
