tomtom maps

Hi
I have a tomtom one which was bought in Australia with maps to suit, a mate
of mine wants to buy one from the US as they are a third of the price.Can I
copy the Australian map on my unit on to his, and if it is possible how
would I go about it .
regards stevo

Yes, you should just be able to copy the map folder across from the storage
card. However maps need activating and it may be that your map won't
activate on his unit.

One sure way is to buy the Australia map from the TomTom website, yes it'll
cost you more but may well still end up cheaper.

No you can't do it. The maps are 'locked' to the particular unit.
Otherwise, TomTom couldn't sell any maps, could they!

I'm sorry to say this again but you can do it,I got a tomtom 2nd hand only
about a month old,it had uk map on it but also it came with a europe map on
another card,when I put the europe card in it said this has allready been
activated and it gave me a website to go to,having gone to this website it
said it was for uk only which clearly it was'nt,so I rang tomtom up to tell
them of my delema,they was'nt at all interested because I did'nt have the
product code for the card,so I did some searching and got some software
which let me activate it
