My relative just returned from the US with a brace of Tomtom One XLs, with US maps builtin.

Some questions, then:
* Where's the best place to get NZ maps? Tomtom = 89.99euro for the download - are there alternatives
* If I want to use both, does Tomtom allow me to install a bought map on 2x matching devices?

Also interested to get in touch with anyone who is adding custom GNU/Linux software to these devices, because I have a project for which they may be ideal (even without the map/GPS functionality - just using touchscreen and speechsynth).

Cheers

HI,

I have a TomTom One XL. I bought mine in NZ so I have NZ maps pre-installed. The memory on these is about 1 gig, which is about the size of the American Maps, so I bought off the TomTom site the US Maps, and installed them on to a 2gig SD card. ( I did the same for Australian Maps).
When I travelled to the States, I just inserted the SD Card for US, and away I went. When I went to Australia, I used the Aussie SD card, and when in NZ I leave the SD cards at home.

I thought the Maps were registered to the Tomtom with no option to transfer maps, but that may have changed, not sure.

For these devices you have to purchase maps from TomTom. The new TomTom 930 comes with maps for NZ, AU, US and other 40+ countries/regions...

Each device requires its own licensed map.
