Hey everyone.
Those of you that have seen my earlier thread know that I have been trying to get the newest NA maps for my One. However TomTom appears to have thrown a kink into this.
I just got off the phone with Tech support. They said that maps are now device specific and are unable to be installed on devices they were not meant for. I made sure I told the guy (very politely) that I have been using the old NA maps for the past year and have "friends" that are using the New NA map as we speak. I'm assuming that in the latest release of these maps, they implemented this little change. Home will not even download the map locally to your computer as a result of this.
He also mentioned how the bulk of the NA map is text to speach files. He also did concede that there are less POI's in the USA and Canada maps but the overall street coverage is the same.
So I had to settle for my NA map being switched out to the USA and Canada map. And honestly, I don't really care. I get mapshare now and that's all I really cared about in the first place. I also made the suggestion that if maps are only designed for certain devices, you should have to input your device code before you can download a map. Home does this, but the website does not. This would solve the problems before they even started.
So looks like the days of new NA maps on the One are over. Unless you guys figure out some other way to do it. Good Luck!
