Totally agree with other comments. I've been hoping for TomTom iOS to be available on Apple CarPlay with the new iOS 12 but no news. Meanwhile Google maps is there and, of course, Google maps can be ...

So, with a view to updating the 'compatibility charts' for the database, can someone clarify what units this works on?

I see 'Discover Pro' mentioned in the thread, but is that a VW-specific device ...

Wow, thanks. You've just saved me about 60 quid, so I can get the TT 510 instead of the 5100!

One of the big appeals if these models is the lifetime traffic, rather than having to pay nearly 50 quid per year for a subscription on the models with their own sim card. The downside is that you ha ...

Wow, that's pretty good going - 11 years and still going strong. Mind you, how much have you paid during that time for updates? This feels a bit like the situation with inkjet printers, paying more ...

Impressive that Volvo will update them for that long and that frequently. A big cost saver that many car manufacturers would not give, especially as they could be charging mega-bucks for an update.

Thanks for responding. Nice to know they will actually honour their 'lifetime' offer, though it still seems poor practice to suggest it's limited to 10 years. Thank heavens for good eggs like you, w ...

Just had an email from TomTom saying my latest free map update is available and for the first time it gave the 'start date' and 'end date' of the subscription.

This is the so-called 'lifetime map u ...

Well, it turns out that I must have ticked those boxes for audible alerts after all. As I approached a speedcam today I heard a subtle beep sound from the Discover Pro. It wasn't much in advance of ...

I can confirm that this works on the 2015/16 version of the Discover Pro 8" model, and using the alert database from PocketGPSWorld too, though I didn't know you can get sound alerts too. Wow!

The 30-pin connector has been with us for 13 years and was well overdue for an update. It was clunky, easily damaged and many of the pins were no longer used. But it really doesn't matter what the ...

So if we want to connect an iPhone to the car, we have to take it out and connect it by lightning cable. So to get a decent GPS signal where will it sit? Probably in the glovebox or the centre consol ...
