Just in case you were planning to hit the open road with your TomTom in hand this holiday season, do yourself a favor and get the updated maps for US and Canadian customers the navigation company dropped today.
The new maps feature 410,000 miles of new roads more than six million new household and business addresses, 500,000 new Points Of Interest, and improved road detailing for better visual representation.
TomTom is offering free maps for TomTom GO x10 and TomTom ONE users, and other eligible customers upon validation. Otherwise the updated maps are $49.95 for TomTom GO 300, GO 700, TomTom RIDER and TomTom NAVIGATOR 5 customers until March 31, 2007 and $149.95 for all products after that date.

Why use this when you got mapquest.com (or .ca) at your disposal for free? Most routes, especially in the USA go north/south east/west direction anyhow… maybe I am one of those few special people who don’t need a machine to say “turn left in 3.. 2… 1… NOW” type of thing to navigate my way to and from places of mystery. I find GPS only fun when your flying a plane, otherwise… yet another useless device, mass marketing via hype to turn a “interesting” into a “I got to have it for Christmas to figure out where I am” type gift. If you get lost out in the wilderness… a compass and moss is all you need, if it’s winter and you are surrounded by pine trees… you can have a heck of a bond fire in no time… just need the marshmellows and some cocoa.

What am I doing wrong? When I go to the site the price I get is 80 Euro, which is $100. I want updated maps, but i’m not sure if they’re worth $100 every year.

I’m starting to think that people whom rely on navigation systems not only have no idea to get to where they’re going, but they honestly don’t know *where* they want to go. Points of interest? You mean you didn’t research what was around you before hand? Or even worse, you don’t know your own city? :P Mini rant aside, I can see why people would use it, but it seems like an exploring-crutch to me.

Well said Isaiah! How do you get to where you want to go when you don’t know where that is? Very easily ;-)
