Hi Forum members. Can anyone give me some advice please?
I have a GO 6200 (WiFi) with free lifetime maps, live traffic, and speed camera updates. This has served me very well over the past couple of years.
However, I now have 2 problems. The first, is that live traffic stopped working a few weeks ago. All I get now is the grey cross on the car in the corner. I can tether to my phone and all is good, but that defeats the object of having a TT with a built in sim.
I contacted TT technical and all they would say is that it would need a sim repair at TT and it would cost me £150...........I might as well buy a new one if it's going to coct that!
Does anyone know if this is a fix that can be done outside of TT tech services? (high street vendor?)
That brings me on to my second query. I have been looking at a new TT, and I've had an email from TT offering 35% off, which is lovely, but when I look into the package you get, none of them are offering what I get with my current model (free lifetime updates on maps and speed cameras etc), plus, it appears that live traffic is only available via tethering to a phone and not from an in built sim.
Is this correct? Are the lifetime services no longer available as standard, or is there some other way of getting all this included?
And do you not get live traffic from the TT unit any more?
This is the reason I came to TT in the first place, but if they've stopped these services, I'll go elsewhere.
I'd appreciate any thoughts please.
