“It has become clear that some of our older generation navigation devices do not have sufficient resources to run the newest maps and software.” “Your maps will become out-of-date and as such navigation will be less accurate,” TomTom told customers in an email (via BBC). Once active subscriptions have expired, the models won’t become completely obsolete, but owners won’t receive the most current information.
The change applies to buyers of 66 older models, who were promised ‘lifetime maps’ when they purchased the in-car navigation tool. TomTom has informed a number of customers their sat-nav devices will no longer receive map updates.
