Thread: TomTom maps

Does anyone know of a torrent site i can download a map of Thailand, for my Tom Tom.

And yes i am too tight to buy a legit copy

Do a forum search for Mapmagic.
There is a torrent listed for a good map.
I can put it back up if you need more seeders

What is tom tom?

It's a SatNav device.

I've been thinking of getting one, but I've got a GPS and a map in the car already for the odd occasions when I get totally lost and I don't really travel enough to make it worthwhile otherwise.

Cheers

Do these SatNav Maps all work together? I.e. it doesn`t matter what make of Satnav you have?

No. they're manufacturer (and model) specific.

Aaahhh OK cheers.

So im guessing Mapmagic wont work then

MagicMap is just a good map that will run on your PC or Notebook.

Sorry I didn't realise you were asking for a sat nav map

They are busy at the moment but no yet available I think probebly 2010 only big cities first. Bangkok is available at other satnav system, but very limited system.

TomTom is mostly European, so nothing for Thailand yet

They`ve got Singapore, so stupidly i thought there might be a thai map also.

I have a TomTom, things are looking good, found this.

Nice one thanks

Astasinim,
I get a news letter from TomTom to my email address but have deleted it, put in my email address for downloading Thai maps, and get back address not known, have you loaded your Tom Tom with Thai maps yet? guess I have to sign up again for the Thai maps, will be nice to sit in the computer room and do a few dummy runs around Thailand on the TomTom.

Not yet, but will do later. Got to sign up to full release.

That link is now closed. Does anyone have another for Tomtom Go maps of Thailand, please?

Ta.

I am still looking, was thinking of buying a 2GB memory card for £19.95 and loading the Thailand map on it, the Tomtom Hong Kong and Singapore map's are about £29.99 each, but it seems they do not do the Thailand map yet, look here:-

Thanks Oldgit. The Tomtom website doesn't list a Thailand map but I've heard a few time that one exists. Odd. Perhaps I'll email Tomtom with a question.

Old thread, new related question:

Just got a taxi home with the missus; 'Oh what's that', she says.
'A Tomtom', says I 'dodn't know they had 'em in Thailand. Ask the driver where he got it.'
She asks him, then replies 'His sister sent it from France, but he can't speak English, so he asked if we wanna buy it?'
Driver hands it to me. I'm comparing our location with the Tomtom; seems to work well - speaking in French....
'How much?' says I.
'How much do you wanna pay?' says the driver.
'I'll check the internet and get back to you.' says I.

I think it's one of these: Tomtom Start Regional Start² Regional Black - Car navigation - TomTom at 5,750 baht.
I and the missus both liked it. So the questions (probably dumb ones; sorry in advance):

1) Is it easy to change the language? As easy as the settings menu or likely to be a download? Or difficult?
2) Anybody use one of these, or a similar one, in Thailand?

I was gonna offer the guy 3 or 4 thousand baht and see what he says. I'd like it cheap, but I don't wanna rape the poor chap.

from your link

The user interface comes in the following langauges:


Catalan Afrikaans Czech Danish Dutch Estonian Finnish Flemish French German Hungarian Italian Latvian Lithuanian Norwegian Polish Portuguese Slovakian Spanish Swedish Turkish UK English US English

Spoken navigation instructions come in the following languages:


Australian Afrikaans Brazilian Portuguese Bulgarian Catalan Chinese Cantonese Chinese Mandarin Croatian Czech Danish Dutch Estonian Finnish Flemish French German Greek Hungarian Italian Japanese Latin American Spanish Latvian Lithuanian Malaysia nNorwegian Polish Portuguese Romanian Russian Serbian Slovakian Spanish Swedish Thai Turkis hUK English US English

from my limited experience it's menu driven through the touch screen

^ Yeah, looks about right. Thanks Mid. My brother has a Tomtom in the UK, and reckons I can go thru the menu and choose languge 8/8; should be English. Hope so.

All in all, might be a good buy cause I was about to spend 5 - 10k on a Garmin. Maybe this sexy little Tomtom will be equal/better, for a little less money.

Found this manual: http://download.tomtom.com/open/manu...uide-en-GB.pdf seems to answer all the questions, & a cheap Tomtom preloaded with the Thai map, has gotta be as good as the Garmin Nuvi.

Now, to check if the 2010 Honda City has a cig lighter/power source...

SEA Traveller has a perfectly working satnav, got him to washington square allright
i use a nuvi here in the, ace piece of kit

^ Yes, I might end up buying a Nuvi off a specialist shop; setup and support for under 5k, probably better than risking a second hand import that will be close to worthless if any problems occur...

The taxi driver got upset when the missus offered him 3,000 baht... wanted 8k; told him we can get a new one shipped here for 4.5k, or a Garmin Nuvi (very very similar) bought locally with all the benefits for under 5k: seemingly he didn't believe her and the conversation got heated... muppet.

Well would you know it.
I sent TomTom a question of when the Thai maps would be available for my model and they have just replied, here is the reply.

Dear KCC,

Thank you for contacting TomTom Customer Support
Your reference for your query is xxxxiiiiiixxixixixix


As Thailand maps have only been released recently it is not yet available across the whole model range, soon however this should be available.


With Best Regards

So I am waiting to see WHEN they are available.
