mmm confused of Wiltshire, but is there a small glimmer of light ???
I run an original Go700 (M5), and through the skill and help from this forum and the odd purchase of bits from a well known auction site, have kept it going with the latest maps for a long time - and it works well as a simple satnav, few bells and whistles but it works. I saw that the Go700 is no longer to be updated maps wise, and thought for a moment that there would not be maps available on this wonderful site ..... then a small, but significant thought raised itself ..... a long time ago (several years) I changed the OS to one downloaded from here to enable me to use "your" maps ... that OS is: navcore SE 9.051.503855 ... which makes my Go700 "think" it is a Go940 .. which is not on the list of affected devices (yet) ....
So, am I right in thinking that, as long as kind "real" Go940 owners contribute "their" maps to the forum, along with the meta codes, then we old Go700 owners may still survive for a few years yet ??
As an aside, I find it a tad "odd" that so many forum members are complaining about TT not providing map updates to them .. when many will have "received" their updates for free from this forum !! (I do understand that those who have paid are, quite rightly, very annoyed, but freeloaders (like me :) ) have little to complain about really !!)
