Default TomTom go unit

Can anybody point me in the right direction to where I might be able to get the best deal on a TomTom go unit


Thanks

If you, or a mate, are flying out of the country, Dixons are doing them DF for £365 at Gatwick Airport.

Failing that, have a shot here

Cheers

Dixons and Comet are selling them for GBP399 (including tax/VAT).

But the January sales are not far away

I Tried downloading the speed camera updates and it wouldn't let me. It's supposed to be included in the price I paid, but can't work out how to do it

I agree though, bloody good piece of kit

Confused Phill..... I've got one, but the speed camera data is a free download from Pocket GPS, nothing to do with TomTom or the retailers....

babber, make sure your TTG has the latest software on it which I think is 4.40 before adding POI's

Edit - The latest is actually 4.42 but you need at least 4.40.

Yeah that's right, but when I try and connected to them to download the updates with POI Edit, it says I'm not authorised to get the updates??

As far as I'm aware, I have the latest SW on the TomTom.

Really don't know what I'm doing wrong

Phill - Have you definitely got Version 4.40 of the TomTom software? Not the earlier 4.21? No worries either way, as you can update this with a download.

I'm still not 100% clear when you say 'Not Authorised'. Does this message appear on the Go unit, or on your PC, when you try to download?

PM me if that's easier.

Message appears on the PC I downloading the updates too. All the other updates come through, it's just the camera updates causing a drama I'll check the Tomtom sofware version later on

Just tried it again, Username and Password not Authorised was the error I got. All the other updates (i.e. Postcodes, Shell Garages) went through fine.

Site address is :-

http://www.pocketgps.co.uk/poisync/pockgps.xml

Does that seem ok?

Thanks Phill
