tomtom go 50miles restriction

Options
Ive just downloaded the tomtom Go app on android and it says that its has 50 miles of navigation but does anyone know if I can uninstall/reinstall when I hit 50 miles to reset or does it link to my App store email address?

Thanks

    The TomTom website says:

    GET 50 MILES OF NAVIGATION FOR FREE EACH MONTH
    Every month the app gives you up to 50 miles of navigation for free, after which you can purchase a 1-month or 1-year subscription with unlimited miles.


    I think they will have already thought of the supposed uninstall/reinstall way of attempting to avoid payment...

    what does tomtom offer over the free options?

  • Exactly - Try one of the free ones - there are many

    You've even got a free one built into Android - Google Maps
    this can work off line too, so no data charges

    The new driving test uses a TomTom 52 for the independent driving section although I accept that I could use an alternative product, I was thinking that it would be far, far better to use a similarTomtom product when teaching my son to drive.

    Thanks

    PS im assuming the tomtom go app will be similar in look and feel to a 'real tomtom

  • 50 miles free per month is just the right amount for me. Pity it does not carry over every month but if it did I can't see many people buying it.

    Ah, 'per month' - that suits this situation perfectly fine.

    My mistake for not spotting the per month bit as the app just says x miles left.
    And I didnt even spot it in the early reply by John Gray so apologies.

    Thanks to all that took the time to reply.
