I am going to France later in the year & want to use my Tom Tom while over there. When I upgraded to Tom Tom 5 I got a set of disks for Europe does anyone know if that means one of these will already have the deatiled France map on it or will I have to buy this?

Thanks
Howard
P.S It's Tom Tom Navigator 5 on PDA

My guess is you have the "Major Roads of Europe" as that tends to ship with most TT products...

Just going to install now to see what it's like? it is on cd no. 4 & is called France plus & size is 347MB so it is a large file what do you think?

I retract my previous statement!



If you'd told me you had a CD with France on it, then I would have said you've got the "Maps of Europe", not the "Major roads..."

Does that mean it is the same as if I was to buy the France Map ? Seems like I got a good deal when I upgraded if that is the case

Given that the Tom Tom (and other navigators) now offer GPS-based speed camera detection, and given that they are illegal in France (or, at least, the police there make no differentiation between a radar detector and a GPS 'detector'), then how do they stand on this?
