I purchased a Snooper Caravan Edition GPS in April 2012. One of the main reasons for choosing this was the promise of free map updates for life. I have now been advised by Snooper that due to hardware restrictions the free updates will end on 31st December 2020. This is not my definition of 'life'.

    It does not really matter as my original GPS broke after  only13 months and the replacement provided by my dealer only lasted a further 18 months. I now use a competitors product

    They aren't the only ones. I was advised by TomTom that no further updates would be forthcoming for my old TomTom Go, which I had bough s/h from EBay ten years previously, so probably15 years+ old. I hadn't done regular updates but what annoyed me was the lack of opportunity to get the last one available. Still works reasonably well even if it told me I was in a field whilst travelling up the A75 in France. laughing
