Lifetime maps and traffic cried the listing and box.

planned obsolescence 🤬

Bit like the old "Lifetime guarantee" on Scotch tapes, which meant the lifetime of the tape.........such a comic joke

There's always a * and a load of small print so they can feck you over when they feel like it. Another pile of toxic e-waste created.

Why do we keep losing market share to Google?

No idea.

You’re using a satnav unit? Now that’s retro 😅

Got no choice if one's car is old. One of mine is so old that it has wheels made by a company with the same name as your surname :)

Have you heard of smart phones 😂

I suppose there is that, I just prefer something with a larger screen. Mine connects to my phone anyway so I'm still hands free etc with it.

Looked it up and largest TomTom is 7", same as a iPhone 16 Pro Max.

Phones are getting out of hand, figuratively and literally.

Larger screen, less distractions, not going to be interrupted.

Why? It works better, is a dedicated unit, and isn't reliant on my mobile.

It was for a lifetime.
It just wasn’t yours. Nor, it seems, the unit’s.
