European maps no good after brexit.

I used to think standalone sat navs were obsolete but then my wife tried to use Google maps in rural Norfolk and the lake district and with the phone not being able to connect to GPRS it was useless. Got ourselves a tom tom with live traffic updates and for us its been a great investment not having to worry about whether we will have enough signal or having to remember to download the offline maps before a trip. Horses for courses and all that...

Lifetime maps is only for the lifetime of the Device cant exactly work out how long that is.

Anybody know if tom toms have an alternative route button/option

Google navigation works better as upto date automatically and free. No use buying tom tom now and soon it will be out of date with no traffic updates.

TomTom now only comes up with developments on commecial vehicle (lorries) sat navs only so no use buying for personal cars. I use waze or google maps on my old iphone and connect it via hotspot using my primary phone.

​But earlier Google maps were not very good and phones not powerful. Now with offline Google maps and fast 4g, it is a game changer.

Waze, can't understand why people buy a dedicated Sat nav these days.
Free, real time updates and dynamic routing.

for grandad and grandma :wink:
