Well at the moment i only have maps for GB and IRL but i would have thought that european mapping will be available, as for the multifunction display im not sure as i dont have the multifunction and as of yet i have not tested in one with, but i will post back as soon as i have.

And finally yes they are available now, and on monday ill get all the part nos available.

But my unit is part no 0071804250 (thats the unit with windscreen mount)
And the SD memory with GB+IRL maps is 0071804261

And as i said in a previous post if you buy one of these you also need to update the blue and me software, and if some reason your dealer does not have it, send me a message and ill email it to you.

Re: New sat nav ??

I think my solution is neater & it's universal.
Consists of TomTom720, Brodit Clip & windscreen pillar mount for the 500, an extra long mini USB lead & USB accessory socket adapter. When I removed the centre console to install the wiring for the underseat sub I routed the mini-USB through the inside of the centre console & concealed it under the dash & it pops out right next to the SatNav bracket & hey presto!

Just slotted the rubber cover in the cup holder & punched a hole with a leather punch to take the cable

Vindaloo, that looks much neater than having the cables draping over the dash. Nice one

Thanks grimwau, it also looks loads better 'cos I don't need the silly windscreen sticky either. I simply unclip the TT720 from the fixed bracket & store it in my underseat compartment when not in use.

Re: New sat nav ??

As i stated in the previous post's above you do need a blue and me software upgrade to blue and me map. the dealer you bought the nav unit from should have given this to you, or have done the upgrade whilst you wait.

If you get no joy from them, PM me and i will email you the required files but not until monday tho.

Re: New sat nav ??

Does anyone know the battery life of the new Blue & Me Map? And has anyone any user documentation that they could post up?

Thank you

Re: New sat nav ??

Hi

I'm looking to get the Blue & Me Map for my GPA, has anyone used one of these in-depth yet?

For instance can you download POI , speed cameras to the unit? Does it have UK POIs built in or speed camera information?

I assume that everything is properly integrated i.e. I can listen to music and make phone calls while the sat nav cuts in with directions as appropriate.

If it's ok I'll buy the one with the sucker mount. Hopefully this will fit into the driver's quarter windowof the GPA. Anyone done this yet?

And of course, what do you think of the unit?
