Australian Map 2008 to try before buy

Is there anyway I can get the Australian 2008 map to try before I buy ? At the asking price, it would be a shame to pay for it and find it doesn't work.

Thanking all in advance.

Trying maps

No, there is no try-before-you-buy. When you say it may not work, do you mean that it won't work on your device, or the updates may not be worth the price?

For me, I bought it as I travel a lot for work and here in Melbourne a new tollway just opened so I needed my maps to reflect this.

You may find that Mapshare is enough to keep your maps up to date, bearing in mind that new roads cannot be added using mapshare.

Hi WokWon

I too live in Melbourne. By not working, I was indeed referring to not being worth the money. Sorry about the bad choice of words. Can you tell me if Eastlink is on the new maps ? Do the camera POI's show the cameras on Eastlink ?

Thanks for your reply. I hope to hear from you soon.

Having had a PDA with TomTom 6.x maps - the version 8 maps are much nicer.

I currently have the NA 8.00 maps.

maps update

i wouldnt worry about paying for new maps untill to find a new road in your travel aria thats not on your maps. or maybe every 2 years get a new map. In the last few years in the melbourne / Geelong area there has been many new freeway updates, my maps are about two years old and i badly need new maps but dont like to pay the asking price :(
