Question on Maplin Sat Nav System - Techwatch: Satellite TV forums, FTA, Cable, Hardware, & Tech forums

atlanticcoast · 22-07-07, 10:48 PM

I was in my local Maplin shop in Galway,Ireland today where they are selling a sat nav for 163E(just over £100) and the guy told me that it had only UK maps,none for Ireland but he told me its possible to download them from websites but he didn't have any details of that.Obviously it can be easily done because he was sold out of them.Anyone know anything about this?

these can be flashed with tomtom software and so you can then get a map for ireland

Yes I heard about that since,but if you switch off the unit you have to reflash it again which is a bit of a pain.
