Tomtom rip off!

[audi321]

So I downloaded the Europe Tomtom on the iphone, all well and good.....until I want Greece! Which isn't on it! Another £38 for Greece!! RIP OFF!

Anyone know of a way to get Greece on any app for not as much?

Google maps app does turn by turn nav

TomTom has different flavours of European maps to cater for different markets

Sounds like you have bought the Western Europe rather than Europe

Partial coverage Turkey (78%), Latvia ([Latvia_CV]), Ukraine (42%), Bulgaria (58%), Romania (16%), Russian Federation (51%), Cyprus(52%)

Also a point to note, it's an itune purchase so providing you have not left a long duration after purchase you may be able to get a credit and then purchase the correct version.

Have a look at.

Nope, I bought the full Europe Maps for the iphone (I think it was £79.99) and it does not have Greece. It has Bulgaria which is neighbouring Greece!

Google Maps needs to be online, therefore will incur massive data roaming charges?

Cheers, I've just downloaded it (only £1.49 now!) looks good, although I'm unsure if it can do Greece offline?

[GTRmad]

it will be fine. You don't need internet access for any maps..........

Get CoPilot.

The app is free and you can download one map for free ...Greece is available as the free one.

Personally, I think CoPilot is a better app than TomTom

[audi321]

Excellent. Great info

[sgrimshaw]

Just realised the co-pilot app is free and you can have Greece as a free map, however it will cost you to upgrade to get voice navigation. This costs £17.49.

The best advice is to download the free app and try it, to see if you like the interface etc.

If you do, then buying CoPilot Premium HD Europe is much better value at £34.99 as this includes the whole of Europe - including Greece.
