There are two types of Go 500's...a very old model or a modern type, which one do you have?

If it's the top one, we might be able to help...

If it's the bottom one, you have no choice but to buy a new map from TomTom themselves...read this

Yes, your only option is to buy a new map direct from TT I'm afraid

Yes, that is true but this is where TT mislead people with their 'lifetime' updates...

'Lifetime' means as long as TT decide to support the device which is generally accepted to be about 5 years...after that you'll have to buy a new one

Yes, true but this is of no help if the OP wants a different map or region to the one he had on the device originally...in this case he'll need to buy a new map from TT

I`ve found some Topics here having Maps for downloads,

viewtopic.php?f=179&t=19804&p=163612#p163612

Does this works with my device or not ?

Not....I'll say it again:

Your only option is to buy a new map direct from TT so there is no point in discussing it any further.
