No, as the activation is device specific.

The following would then apply:

ok getsurfers one last question please if you dont mind.
i will be puchasing the western europe maps on either cd or sd
once downloaded on my tt300go willl i have door to door navigation through several countries like my pals tt700.
rather than having to switch maps in each border crossing
thanks once again louis

I think its seamless if you buy it on SD card but not if you buy it on CD.
