Many thanks. Do you know which version(s) of TomTom maps include Navteq's
mapping of Ireland.

TA's Ireland coverage both NI and Eire has improved a lot in recent
years. Difficult to quantify but certainly looks pretty comprehensive
now, especially urban areas.

Thanks to all for the comments. I decided to proceed and bought the
current UK & RoI map and am well pleased. Certainly the details around
Rosslare ferry port, which will be my port of entry, is vastly improved.
One oddity is that many (most) of the streets in Dublin which are shown by
name on the map are not indexed, so they can not be located with "find" as
say a destination. Is that a known issue?
Another oddity is that I have seen no Product Code. The map works fine and
is not demanding an Activation Code but I am concerned that one day,
perhaps while out on the road, my GO will suddenly demand a code that I
don't possess. Are Product Codes and Activation Codes not used when buying
by download and when installing with Home?

I don't. However if you go to www.boards.ie and select the Gadgets forum
there are old threads there on spotting which TomTom has Navteq and
which hasn't. If I recall it was difficult to tell from the box label.
