Well it’s about time! I’ve got a TomTom and have never updated the maps, they are relatively new, but still I just couldn’t see spending more and more money on it. That’s one of my biggest gripes of GPS units, you buy it once and then you keep paying for it for the updates.. Now though TomTom has introduced a LifeTime updates service for certain TomTom XL and XXL products, but only for North America right now..
