Even when you do that it doesn't really update it just updates the software so that it looks like you can update the maps but when you touch to update it just tells you, you have to get an updated map for about $100.00 US. This is bull because you pay upward of 400.00 for this GPS. Then you have to pay pay and pay out of pocket over and over again. So there should be a way to update the map without coming out of pocket every year. The really funny thing is that I got mine about 1.5 years ago and the maps were about 3 years old if not more. Now they even want money to update POI now. Which they probably charge the owner of a business to have his address and number available for the consumer that has this line of GPS available? Tom Tom should probably take a look at other brands like Garmin for instance and see why they are doing so much better in sales because there maps are better. But like any computer its always the software that make it or breaks it in this market.....

Im pretty sure that Tomtom provided what you needed, if you did buy the map...

best place it to get one is by emailing someone whos selling faulty ones on ebay. They will probably have some scrap tomtoms they have to put in the bin and the manuals will be surplus. Ive got many manuals here but its a long way to send them from UK to down-under.

First, make sure that your TomTom battery is (fully) charged. Then press the ON/OFF power button ... to turn it on. If it still doesn't turn on, try to RESET it ... using a "pin" (e.g. paper clip) to push up the RESET hole at the bottom of the device.

Route will not plan until the GPS is locked. Soft reset on the button underneath for 30 seconds will reset the GPS receiver on a 700. Then wait upto 4 minutes for a refreshed lock after power up
