TomTom slashes LIVE subs

Big promo

Cloud storage: Lower cost and increase uptime

TomTom is offering new TomTom LIVE sign-ups free services for a year - and is halving annual subscription costs to £47.50.

Existing subscribers for the traffic information service automatically get the new price and will stay on the new rates if they renew, TomTom says.

New customers get the year’s free subscription when they buy an XL LIVE, a GO 550, GO 750 LIVE or GO 950 LIVE sat navs.

The year's free sub for TomTom live is available in UK, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Portugal and Switzerland.

For some reason TomTom Live doesn't show speed cameras in Switzerland.

Customer Success Testimonial: Recovery is Everything

It's called journalism

Is Mr Cullen aware of a website called Google ?

If one types "speed cameras switzerland" into the box they provide, one sees the text "Switzerland bans some GPS devices for speed camera warnings".

This might add something to his article, for not that much effiort.

And possibly prevent him from appearing incompetent at this job.

Swiss outlawed devices that help punters avoid speed cameras

"It is a standard feature in all TomTom "

All *except* mine, maybe. It's a GO 300 with apparently the latest firmware, according to the web site.

Some undocumented new icons got added in one of the updates and I turned on an option that I thought might enable it, but it has nevertheless remained resolutely silent.
