Is Vietnam missing from Southeast Asia Map?!?
It is my first post, so hello to everyone!
It looks like I am running into a strange problem, namely I do not have Vietnam on my Southeast_Asia_1010_8886 map although TomTom clearly says the map does cover that country.
Just to clarify, I have no issue installing and activating the map. However among 9 Southeast Asia countries it supposed to cover there is no Vietnam in it. The last country in the alphabetical list is Thailand!
Could anyone confirm that the Southeast_Asia_1010_8886 map does show Vietnam in the list when you are about to navigate to a destination, please? What should I do to get it appeared on my map?vda767 Reviewed by vda767 on . Is Vietnam missing from Southeast Asia Map?!? It is my first post, so hello to everyone!

@vda767: As an alternative to the PNA, you can use the Go app for smartphone. These contains Vietnam

That's odd. TomTom says on its webpage ( ), quote:
The quoted conversation had no exact date apart from "1 year ago". However the same TomTom page on Internet Archive as early as 16/09/2016 (Map version 9.75) showed Vietnam in 9 covered country. ( )
I lean toward the case of error in TomTom map but just need a confirmation to make sure it is not the fault at my end before trying other solution.

TT often confuses NAV2 and NAV4 map contents in their descriptions. The NAV2/3 Southeast_Asia definitely does not contain Vietnam, but in NAV4-maps (for the newest devices) and in the Go-App Vietnam is included.

I've just gone to their map shop page for this Southeast_Asia map, input WB as my genuine 940 Device Serial (and also LF for my 7000) and it shows as OK for both so, all I can suggest is ask in their user forum for clarification: "does this map for NAV2 devices include Vietnam or not because your mapshop page says THIS IS compatible with my 940 Device WB and my 7000 Device LF?"
That will be interesting IF we get a definitive answer!

@Alfred_ML: Thanks for the suggestion, but let me ask: is this a theory? Or have you seen it already?
If the "Go-App" you are referring to is the same as "TomTom Android 1.4 APK + whatever map" then I would doubt it. I looked at a map included in such app and I think the map is no special, it is the same as what is being used in a TT device, am I wrong?
The actual map I looked at contains 8 files:
adpoints_BRN.dat
adpoints_HKG.dat
adpoints_IDN.dat
adpoints_MAC.dat
adpoints_MYS.dat
adpoints_PHL.dat
adpoints_SGP.dat
adpoints_THA.dat
The 3 capital letters are the country codes and if Vietnam was contained there could have been the 9th file.
So if you did see Vietnam on a Southeast Asia map on smartphone, could you share the meta?
