My friends tomtom GO LIVE 1005 Europe Camper that had lifetime maps and has been updated regularly now shows the map as expired With the update tool offering a new Europe camper lifetime map for £49.95

serial Nos starts with ST. Raised a support ticket with tomtom but waiting for a reply

Unit lasted updated early spring of 2023 and map loaded is dated 12/22.

asked another mate who has same TT camper satnav and who also updates couple of times a year and turns out he has same issue

anyone else with this unit ?

(I know a lot of them died couple of years ago after a botched software update as did these two but we managed to get them back to life and they went on working well )

Not me, sorry. How old is your unit? I’m curious to know so I can ask other owners. Small consolation but the updates generally don’t have a great bearing on the content already installed, so it isn’t as if you’ll fall off the edge, but may need to negotiate a new road or speed limit.

I was only today praising my Garmin that I’ve owned for the best part of a dozen years I reckon and without any issues. So I hope I don’t jinx that one.

I look for updates on my 4 year old TomTom Basic at least once a month, these days it`s updating points for electric cars to recharge and cameras. I can`t remember the last time it did a maps update, maybe no new roads have been completed in that time.
I do know it`s very frustrating getting the hang of new when you are used to the old one.

Current map versions appear to be V 11.10

on the camper unit its v11.05 dated 12/22.
Fingers crossed tomtom re-enable the correct map

I did try the one they enabled by indtslling it onto device on an SD card so not to disturb the original map but got a warning on the unit that camper routing not available with thus map

the contact in tomtom support that rectified this issue was someone called Yashshri
So raise a support ticket you have to go through the self help chat first before you can email them
(if you have difficulties maybe I could share this trouble ticket but as its not my Tomtom it would need to be a last resort and i get permission off the owner )

Thanks for the heads up about this Trek. I got mine resolved by Mayur (or Max). I asked him to alert the appropriate dept to the problem as I suspect that many folk will just accept that their TT has come to the end of its life. The update should be automatically available as it always has been.

Now just doing the update. It started by saying the update would take less than a minute then shot up to 12hrs 50-odd minutes but came down fairly quickly to just under 3hrs with 3% done. Time to make a coffee!

(Actually, the time is climbing back up again.... Could be done by tomorrow!)
