Ah, the marketing folks are at it again. All over the Web this morning, you can find the headline “TomTom offers free daily map changes on all devices.” Sounds great, huh? The problem is that TomTom has been advertising Map Share as a feature on their newer devices ever since they came out.

UPDATE: It’s official.
UPDATE 2: Read my hands on review of the TomTom VIA 1605TM.
There were a few items showing up on the Web this morning about a six-inch START 60 that just hit the market in Europe, and while we often have to wait many months to see new TomToms on this side of the pond, a 6″ TomTom VIA 1605TM

UPDATE: Read my hands-on review of the TomTom Start 55TM.

I know, I repeated the pun; couldn’t help myself. About 17 hours after TomTom admitted to a leap year bug affecting satellite acquisition, and three days after it first reared its head, they’ve come up with a fix. Interestingly enough, they are blaming it on some sort of third-party software. Mmm, maybe so, but it sounds like something pre-installed on their devices.

UPDATE: A fix has been posted.
Been having problems locking satellites on your TomTom the last few days? Turns out you’re not the only one. It seems that a leap year bug has affected some TomTom models, although they aren’t saying which ones. Please chime in below if your’s is affected and tell us which model it is.

TomTom PRO 7150 Truck
November 18, 2011 By 17 Comments
TomTom has quietly rolled out the PRO 7150 Truck, as they take on Garmin in the truck-friendly GPS navigation arena. Unlike previous offerings, the PRO 7150 Truck does not appear to require a contract with TomTom’s WebFleet services; in other words, it should be available as a stand alone unit.
