CJ Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 I have a version of Tom Tom on my PDA / phone that works very well but doesn't cover Europe. I know I can obtain maps for Europe for this but they don't cover all of Europe - specifically Croatia, Serbia, Macedonia and Greece. Doe anyone know of any maps available for Tom Tom that covers these countries or are there other sat nav systems available that do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul. Yes Paul, it is just those over the normal ones as that can then get me to Athens before taking a ferry to Kos. If you could find out I would be very grateful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivan Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 What version of TomTom CJ? I usualy check here: http://thepiratebay.org/search.php?q=tomtom There's one here - probably for V5 judging by the date: http://thepiratebay.org/tor/3433922/Tomtom_Eastern_Europe.zip And a V660 that covers the major roads in those countries (but not very well by the looks of it): http://thepiratebay.org/tor/3551093/Tomtom_6_Central_Europe_plus_major_roads_of_EU_v.660.1212 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJ Posted April 24, 2007 Author Share Posted April 24, 2007 What version of TomTom CJ? Erm....how do I check which it is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRalphMan Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 What device is it on CJ? I've looked on the pocketgpsworld site and haven't really found anything more useful then above. The older versions of TT used to have an option like the 'About' option which showed you the version number. I've got TT 6.02 and it doesn't.... If you need me to I can download one of the above and send it too you. See if it's what you need. Paul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue was whether the maps covered the countries that i listed earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tap on the bottom RHS where the GPS signal strength bars are, then in the same place it'll say the version number. Tap again on that version number for more detailed info.

Ah...so if all else fails, that looks like a result. The worse part is, I will probably only ever use this once as I need it to drive to Greece where I will then stay. Afterwards, if I travel back to the UK, I will use a return plane trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
