Call me thick but I have trawled through various GPS websites to see if I can update my TomTom XL and I just don't get it!

 

My TomTom XL has Map Version 8xxx on it and obviously I want to upgrade  to the latest map using cough medicine, any help is much appreciated.

 

It is the Western_Europe_1GB model.

 

I have attached a picture to show you what model I have.

Dont mention sat navs to me!!

 

Twice now ive fecked the bleeders up trying to update them. :err:

Thankfully managed to reverse the current sat nav back to original settings.

 

Would rather be taken down a blind alley than try and update the machine.

 

Modern technology-Mmmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!
