Hello all
There seems to be some confusion among users having end of life devices with Lifetime maps.
Let me explain, if your device comes with Lifetime maps then it will be honoured and you will continue to receive new map updates going forward.
However, you will not be able to order Services (LIVE and Speed cameras) purchase new maps for other regions on the TomTom webshop.
Rest has already been explained before on this
topic.
Thank you and regards
Vikram

End of life for TomTom devices with 2GB internal memory
From the 16th of January 2018, we will stop to sell maps and services for devices with an internal memory of 2GB or less.
It has become clear that some of our older-generation navigation devices do not have enough memory to accommodate the latest available maps and software updates.
In case you have an active subscription, you will be able to update the device till the subscription expires. Once the subscription has expired customers won't be able to renew the services.
Anyone who has an EOL device associated with their account should already have received about 2 emails with a discount on upgrading to a current device. We started adding 2GB devices to this offer in October.
What is EOL?
Like last time - users can no longer buy new updates and services. Some features of TomTom HOME are no longer available. When an EOL device is connected, you will find that some icons are greyed out by TomTom HOME. You should get a popup when the device is connected as a reminder that the product is EOL and so you don't not have all the options. It will also link to the obsolete page for an upgrade offer.
To know more about EOL and see the list of devices please visit the official website link below:

i Think life means for the lifetime Tom Tom care to supply updates!
Each bit of kit has an expected lifetime. For a PC that might be 3,4 or 5 years - even if used for 10 years, the expected lifetime is still 5 years or so.
Networking equipment even more so as the warranties are based on Limited Lifetime warranties.
“Lifetime” in the context of technology always refers to the device, not the user. EOL - end of life is the end of support point as it’s assumed its lifetime has finished by this point.
As people use phone apps more and more for this ( I think) there may be the end of the sat nav in sight anyway.
Anyone know? It may not matter anyway since I hadn't really thought about whether it needed updating, but I shall need to investigate... this is all new to me
