It's been a topic in our forums for a couple of weeks now that more TomTom devices available will no longer receive their 'Lifetime' map updates - bringing the list up to 34. This is something that has been a concern for some time since 'lifetime' means 'the lifetime that TomTom decide the product has' as opposed to the actual lifetime of the device. However, it seems to have hit the UK news as though this is a new thing...

Any device made before 2013 will no longer receive any updates or maps. If your satnav came with 'Lifetime Maps' then you will get some software updates to keep the device working but there will be no new features or map updates.

The full list of affected devices is shown in the 'read more' link below but includes some Start models that are still available to purchase.

Have you been affected by this change? Will you think twice before purchasing anything with 'lifetime' services?
