    Default TomTom extras and Plus

    Hi

    Im a new Tomtom user and im a little bemused by features advertised yet not available since we live in Australia it seems.

    Google Maps Send To feature doesnt seem to be available for Australian business.
    and
    Traffic information isnt available for Aust users even though retailers advertise this at times.

    Mang,
    I also bought a TomTom720 about 1 1/2 years ago based on the strengths of features such as error reporting and the like, the answer I got when asking TomTom about the lack of these services was that the map supplier would not let TomTom use this feature in Oz.
    Now I know this feature is now available and as I live in a rural area I use this feature quite a lot as they do not seem to update the rural areas to the same degree or place the importance on these ares as they do in the city areas.
    As well as the latest map for the TomTom has lane guidence also which wasn't available on my previous version.
    I would suggest you ensure you get the latest map you can get as the features will not work on older maps, and then pester TomTom with email requests for service as advertised which is what I did when I first bought mine and action was forthcoming.
    I am still pestering them on traffic report functions.

    It isn't?

    DSE sell the TomTom RDS-TMC Traffic Receiver and state:

    Traffic service coverage is only available in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane Metropolitan areas This accessory requires the latest version of Mapping from Sensis Whereis V15.
    Is this not the case? (as I was considering purchasing one).

    that's news to me that traffic messaging is not working i wonder what the messaging is on my tom tom then when i head to Sydney or Melbourne damn sure it works with the right gear as a matter of fact i know it works if you are using a older map and you must also have the rds/tmc traffic receiver it will work
    IF IT DONT WORK USE A BIGGER HAMMER

    Thanks puca.

    I have a GO730 with the latest map, so the RDS/TMC receiver should be fine for me then.
