Tom Tom charge very high prices for their map updates.

Does "free lifetime maps" address this issue?

I don't know, but TomTom keep sending me emails trying to flog me five quarterly updates for about £50. I fell for it a couple of times but never again.

I'll buy a satnav with free lifetime maps next, whatever the make. Or get a satnav app for my iPhone or tablet.

Sadly, this is not in stock anywhere near me

What about this one?
I know its a little more but it has free map updates & 3 years live.
Do you live in a heavy traffic area?

Yes:money:
I have an old one, I've though about updating it to get the free map updates.

Do you have a smartphone?

If so you might be able to use that with a holder and a car charger.

Bit over dramatic perhaps? :rotfl:

Yep I have a smart phone. But I have a MWE (Money Wasting expert) husband who insists on having a satnav.

TomTom Via 130 EU M 4.3 Inch Full Europe Sat Nav

I recently went for the TomTom Via 135 M which is similar, but has a five inch screen. It's been pretty good - although the battery doesn't last as long as I had hoped.

The free map updates is good as well - although the first time I plugged it in the update took three hours.

It's quite quick in town when you have lots of streets and roundabouts to navigate and to recalculate a route.
