Default How do I legally update Tom Tom for free?


I've got a new Tom Tom One.

When I connect it to my PC and install the Tom Tom software it alerts me that there is a map update available.

On the packaging it states that I will get my 1st update for free if it is released within one month of me purchasing the unit.

So since this unit has came from the warehouse with 2009 maps on it, how exactly do I get my free upgrade?

When I use the 'upgrade maps' option it wants to charge me about £40 and asks for my name, address and credit card details.

I've looked in the box and I don't see any sort of voucher code etc.

I know I can hack it and get them for free anyway, but I'v never had real (paid for ) maps on a sat nav before and I want to do it just for the sake of it.

Answering my own question here....

While running Tom Tom Home on your PC, you click on TOOLS then 'Use Latest Maps Guarantee' and it lets you download them for nowt.
