i have a v4 with western europe. i bought it a few months ago... an amazon
bundle with a travel pack. at the time it wasn't very much extra to add
europe and it's quite a bit extra to add europe later...so what the hell.
i don't know what the differences are between 3 and 4, but i am very pleased
with the 4.
as somebody has already said, the tomtom just appears as a disk when you
connect it to linux.
i have XP running in virtualbox and i've managed to get the usb connection to
work (a pain... but i eventually found a short article that explained what to
do.)
