Hi Guys, just some information for possible interest to fellow TomTom users.

TomTom are currently offering free lifetime map updates on new Go Live and Via units.
1. Supposedly the offer is only available on new units purchased from authorised resellers in Australia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom.

After years of downloading and patching my own maps it's finally become economically viable option to own one of the new series of units. I just purchased a Go Live 2050.
My new unit just spent a couple of hours connected to the computer updating all of the maps to version 895. Just a word of warning if you have limited downloads and purchase a World Maps model, I think it was about 10GB of data and there wasn't an option to select certain maps to update, it did all five map regions at once and
2. I gather it'll be doing the same thing four times each year.

The MyTomTom web interface is still buggy and painfully slow but it did get the job done eventually.

I also managed to copy my Favourites, POI, map colours and some of the voices over from my old Go930 using a tool called [Please Register or Login to download file]

The new unit doesn't offer *that* much more than my 930, though it does have a nice capacitive touchscreen, gets live traffic updates and perhaps the best thing is it has an option to turn on automatically with the ignition.

Anyway, hope that information is helpful to someone

Cheers
