Last year I seem to remember from the newsletter that there were worries about TT precluding the use of third party POIs - it must have been when they announced the 1000 model. Ever since then, I have avoided updating my TomTom Home from v2.7.5.2014 and my 750 device from its firmware version (it's in the car so I can't quote the version). I am a member, so I have been updating the camera db periodically.

Have the fears gone away? Can I update happily?

Thanks in advance and apologies for not trawling through every news item for what should be a quick answer.

The x50 models were never affected by this. Update away!

I thought that was probably the case, just wanted to save a "doh" moment.
Thanks Paul.

OUCH! Where's the car? Sitting waiting for a black hat to come along and break into it?

Well taking the SatNav out of the car every time is ok in theory...
But hiding it in the glovebox and NOT leaving any mark on the windscreen is easier...

Aw c'mon! That device is small enough to fit in virtually any pocket. But suit yourself - Keynsham criminals are only six miles from Bristol. There may even be some in Bristol itself!

I lost my digital camera out of the glove box only last week.
(No windscreen marks from that or the TomTom either!).

The whole car is accessible after a stone through the window, and the glove box is the first place thy will empty.

Plus your Insurance is unlikely to pay out in the event of loss.

Last time my car was broken into, I did try to claim as I lost some expensive walking boots and waterproof jackets as well as a bunch of CDs and a tool kit.

Claiming on car insurance - total waste of time.
I hate car insurers SO much!

Claiming on house insurance - not bad at all for "household" stuff, but they wouldn't touch anything they considered "car" stuff such as sat navs and tools.
