Surely this is only the most recent of SEVERAL truck-specific device TomTom have sold? At least three of which are still advertised on their website here
TT marketing-speak again?

Surely they are still supporting the Go71xx/91xx TRUCK models? (which are still on the web link above)

The difference is these aren't WEBFLEET devices that required a telematics install and subscription.

Then they were Webfleet enabled. Splitting hairs. The new devices aren't, they're bog standard PNDs with Truck mapping.

Hmmm...
Also spitting hairs! 
But if this is a bog-standard device then it needs to be sold on the normal TT website and in normal shops.
TT's business website is the most unfriendly place if you aren't interested in Webfleet.

Hmm. On the website description under "Business Benefits" it says.... | Quote: | | Pair the device up with our online WEBFLEET® service for a full fleet management solution. |
Doesn't that mean Webfleet enabled?
