Why buy when you can download for free? Some are on Tomtom website, also look at Tomtom fan sites for free download.

I think he meant the available downloads, but they aren't free anymore, you have to subscribe now.

I wouldn't chance it on my 700. Too dodgy IMO.

Depends where you buy from, some come with free download camera locations. Mine didn't, so I subscribed to Tomtom for it, that way I get free updates.

You get free camera locations with the 700!
Thats what made me have a 700 over the 500!
