They don't work on the standard TomTom units. You won't find them online - only the mobile/PDA/Symbian versions. And since the maps for the actual TomTom units are backed up by a serial key which requires activating at ttcode.com - your only real option is to buy them. :unsure:

there are ways to get round this too... by using keygens and the like... as long as you can read SD cards on your pc of course..... takes a little more working out thats all... comes in handy for backups etc fo course...

This was a question I was thinking of asking, But did a search round and from what I can see it looks like they are cheaper in the UK.
Be intresting to follow this thread to see.

Hi , We also have a Tom Tom ONE - UK & Ireland - with all the bells and whistles! We would be happy to swap cards for an Australian one if any one is coming back to the UK/Ireland!
My god I cant wait to get out there !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:rofl:

I have a tomtom classic and the torrents are a good way to go, using the keygen of course!:thumbup:

Or

There's some one selling them on ebay with the activation codes on SD (not for PDA's though) for i think £50.

The Australia map is actually less memory then my UK map.

Regards
Chris.

Its the size of the sd card mate not the actual unit, you can make a copy of your original to hard drive then buy a new sd card with bigger memory and add loads more add ons, voices, speed cameras etc..
