Alan,

do you have LiveTraffic on your TomTom?
If yes, then the newer units also have LifeTraffic but only via a smartphone.
If not get a new one.

[alancdavis]

Yes Leon,, It has the live traffic update ,, Just thought the cost of the map update is expensive as against a new unit with free updates

[LOUIE]

Get lost

[alancdavis]

Many times..

Also, depending on the model, the new upgraded maps could be too big (Mega byte wise) to fit on the older models.

[alancdavis]

Maybe go back to a road map like the good old days

[Duratec John]

It's those magic words again "Life Time"

How old is the one you have ?

[alancdavis]

No sure but it don't show the M1........No it about 2 years old

Have a TomTom 6000. Lifetime maps & traffic etc.

Kev,

could you do a little test please with your equipment ?
Set a destination far away from where you are, say Amsterdam.
Then after it has plotted the route see how far away from the start the TomTom gives actual traffic-info.
Just read somewhere that it only gives Traffic Info for about 100 miles around where you are.

Thnx, Leon.

[alancdavis]

Sounds a good deal that you have there Kevin

Halfords are offering a 20% trade in with your old sat nav at the moment

Ive just got the tomtom 5000 , I needed a satnav that doesn't rely on your phone for the traffic

I was in the same predicament , keep paying £40 a year for traffic and £60 to update maps or pay £150 for the 5000 with free updates on traffic and maps for life....no brainer really
