Default Can I get V8 software for TomTom 920?

I only bought my 920 back in December. A bit early to splurge again on
the 930.

Will the V8 software released for the 930 work with the 920?

MTIA?

Ah, and I've now realised that my Tomtom has already auto-updated to
V8. Thanks

Now for the lane-aware maps....

change.

I'm hoping I can get version 8 maps for the 920......

But if not, I've spent no money yet.

V8 was a free upgrade I'm sure.

It was, but the only way to benefit from the changes from V7 are to purchase
the new maps...

The only way I'll agree there's a "fleecing" going on is if you have
to buy a damn TomTom x30 to use the new maps.

If that's true, and so far from what I've seen, the site isn't letting
me buy a Version 8 map for my 920, then I'm with you all the way,
especially since I spent a huge wodge on the 920 barely 6 months ago.

Otherwise, I don't have a problem with spending a few quid for a map
that's a genuine advance on what came before (lane guidence etc)
