Tom Tom S.E. Asia GPS map wanted

[YorkshireTyke]

Hi All

I have a Sony DVD with Tom Tom Navi from Europe fitted in my car. Tom Tom do a map for Thailand which is 25GBP to download but is not compatible with my device. However, the SE Asia map is but that is 45 GBP. Anyone have one ? I can't believe the hackers haven't managed to offer free downloads yet.................

Sygic was the same as Tom Tom here....I installed on my phone and enjoyed it for a short time - until they updated/changed formats......Now it's more like Google maps - not as detailed & a LOT less user friendly....I'm not sure if you'd be getting the new or the old.....Something to consider....

Wish I had the old system back the new one sucks.....

Ive got a tom tom in the drawer at home with Thailand maps on it.

If you can tell me how to download the maps of it (maps are on device, not SD card) you are more than welcome to see if they work.

Hi Don, and thanks, that's very kind.

It looks like Tom Tom have things sewn up IT wise. I've checked their site and some maps can be transferred from your old device to a new one using their transfer file : https://uk.support.tomtom.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/14081/~/can-i-transfer-items-from-my-old-device-to-my-new-one%3F

But as you have to pay for additional maps after the initial purchase it looks like they have security in place to stop anyone sharing. Also for my device, Sony XNV L66BT, it says the Thailand map is not compatible, only the full S.E Asia one.

It's just over 2,200 Baht to buy the map so I probably will end up buying it although I don't use the car much and certainly won't be taking it out of Thailand. The irony is there are so many free options for maps on your phone but it would be nice to have it on the DVD screen.

All I can tell you about Tom is that do the updates on Google Maps ,and for 75$ you can Dload Tom Tom Thailand.

Yes, that is basically what I said and I have that on my phone. However, as I paid extra for a Sony DVD player with Tom Tom Navi, I would like to utilise that and

look at it on a big screen.

No I can't download Tom Tom Thailand, read my post, and in the UK it's around 35 $.

English pronunciation of the Thai roads can be very poor at times and one HAS to look at the map.

You have obviously never used a GPS in BKK.

[Ace of Pop]

Drop a pin or type in hotel ,if one has a good GPS the voice is perfect.Never bother to look for st names in BKK or any other country. Up to You.

[Don Mega]

Tom Tom and OEM Toyota must both be crap GPS units then as the english translation of road and soi names is poor at best.

I'll go and buy a Garmin then.
