Can anyone give retailer suggestions to purchase TomTom go camper max near the Malaga area of Spain now? After one dangerous detour to many from google maps, I have decided to purchase a bespoke satnav, despite horrendously expensive cost. I’ve tried Amazon Spain but as my credit card is registered to home that’s a no go. I’ve tried changing my location on existing Amazon a/c but after 2 hours security checks it still wouldn’t change my details. Only Avenue I can think of is to physically buy one. I should also add, I’ve gone with apps - Co-pilot etc in past but little better than google. Also tried planning journeys etc but on some of these Spanish back roads, that can still go wrong, as it just has for me. Any suggestions out there would be greatly appreciated? Thanks

Have you tried adding another address to your Amazon account rather than changing your main address. I have multiple addresses (for family) on my account, just select delivery address on check out.

Ask TomTom company themselves to supply you. Try help.tomtom.com for starters.

Yes, I can concur with Burgundy's suggestion. I ordered a cool box through Amazon for delivery to a Spanish campsite where I was staying and it arrived within 3 or 4 days.

I assume you tried Co-Pilots free App which I doubt has the same functionality as their full versions? If you just want a stop gap solution until back in the UK, why not subscribe to a months use of Co-Pilot's truck sat nav >here< or even go for the free trial. I have been using their truck sat nav for years without incident.

Co-pilot isn't free any more but is reasonably priced. I've been using it for a number of years and find it far better than the dedicated Garmin I used to have. I haven't tried the truck version but it gets good reviews.

Thinking outside of the box - continue on the motorway heading west and find a pitch around Marbella and then take a day trip into Gibraltar.  Last time I was there I saw a number of computer type shops who had dedicated caravan/motorhome sat navs in their window.  But it would be a 500 mile round trip ....... In any event I hope you have found a solution.

Thanks everyone but if I order from Amazon UK they are quoting me £66 Spanish import duty (thanks to Brexit) and £30 delivery as Spain not covered under prime. Yes I tried Co-pilot for a year and it took me up several very unsuitable country lanes, ok in towns but not for Spanish rural roads😰.

Was that with the truck version?

I ordered through Amazon Spain and the consignment, when it arrived, actually originated from Portugal although I never had any dealings with a Portuguese company.

You can set your road preferences which will reduce (although maybe not eliminate) this problem. I always run through the route on a paper map before implicitly trusting it anyway.
