Annual Map Update

jackbarry · Posted: Fri Sep 26, 2014 11:12 am Post subject: Annual Map Update

The annual subscription for map updates for my 750 is due in 10 days time. About 3 months ago the price was discounted from £74.95 to £37.48 but when I was updating the 750 yesterday the price had jumped to £59.95.

Has anyone any experience relating to this as I don't remember this happening previously. Should I accept the new price because it will jump up to £74.95 once I let the subscription lapse?

Cheers, jack.

Just checked my UK map and they want £39.95 for the 1 year update discounted from £44.95. In April I paid £22.48 for 18 months subscription. Obviously giving away so many free lifetime maps they are screwing the money out of those that have to pay. Evil or Very Mad

Received an email a couple of days ago offering a 1 year map update for £29.98. Took it.

Glad I got free lifetime maps with my latest TomTom.

I'd wait for the discount to come around again if I was you.

My friend's GO550 UK map update ran out a month ago and he has just got an email to renew for £19.98.

Thank you to all those of you who have replied. I received an email a few days ago from Tom Tom which has now offered a half price subscription which is thus £37.48 for my Europe maps.

Can I ask bkilham what discount does his £19.98 represent?

I'm not in any great hurry to renew just now as I have ruptured my Achilles tendon and cannot drive the nice new car I have just bought!

Cheers jack.

Brian, many thanks, jack.

Interesting that they are giving 50% off £39.95 when Home is listing £44.95 discounted to £39.95 for UK and I paid £22.48 with 50% off in April Rolling Eyes

Just renewed my maps for another year after receiving the 50% off email. So, I have paid £29.98 for my 750 GO this being half of the £59.95 that I reported at the beginning of this thread. It seems that it pays to let your subscription run out and wait for the email offer!

Are similar discounts ever applied to Live Services? If so, I might just wait before renewing next month.

I have a very old TT920 which hasn't been used for years (since I retired it and bought a 950). However, TT keep sending me offers for it and like others recently sent me an email inviting me to buy a 1 year/5 update map of Europe for 29.98 (half price). I used this to buy the map update for my 950.

Here's the link if it helps anybody else (not sure if it is specific to me). Can't apply any further discount codes.

This is the first time I have updated since I bought my 950 many moons ago. The map size for EU is too big to fit in the internal memory. I also have some internal mem issues so I've had to move to an 8Gb card. Updating the map did trash the device and I've ended up re-installing from scratch but after about 5 hours spread across 2 evenings my device is working well and doesn't show me driving across fields on my commute from Milton Keynes to Bedford. Cheers

Nice one Kev, I hope other people can use that offer.
