Another reason for not using Live services is that tomtom insist that you share data with them. No shared data no live services, fair enough, no live services it is then.


How do you expect TomTom to provide Live Services relevant to your location if you won't let them know where that location is Rolling Eyes


I dont, Rolling Eyes
I do however expect that the nature of the data to be collected is stated Clearly instantaneous location data if fine, storing of that data or of places visited is not

Did you read about what TT does with your data? They state on their website:

Your location data is used in an anonymous way to help improve our maps and map related products. We also use it in to generate HD Traffic information.
We completely erase your LIVE Services and HD Traffic journey history from our internal systems within 20 minutes of you switching off your device. We are then not able to connect any location data to your device.
We do not keep any record of Local Search requests, Twitter or other App use connected to your device.
You decide whether you want to send your Map Share changes or safety camera reports to TomTom. There is no obligation to do so.


So if you still want to cut off your nose to spite your face carry on, it's your loss.

Did you read that link I posted?

Seems pretty clear what they do with the data.

TomTom Live services cost me £28.50 when I used the option to renew my subscription for 12 months directly on my TT1000 itself. This was definitely for live traffic, weather etc.
