Pay to update Tomtom One 130 S or new TomTom?

[scrabble]

I have had a TomTom One 130S for about six years. Should I buy a new one or should I pay to update the maps? Advice appreciated, please. I am going to Florida and want current locations and accurate directions. Thanks much.

Maqny newer models come with lifetime maps BUT they all use MyTomTom as they are Nav 3 devices, unlike yours which uses Home 2.

A somewhat steep learning curve is involved.

I don't believe your model has IQ routing. That allows for more accurate routing and estimated ETA's.

See this link for a reference guide of models.....

Very irritated, paid $79 for map update & Illinois not on my GPS

Well, I paid $79 for a map update for my TomTom One 130S and now the state that I live in which is Illinois is not even on my GPS. What a letdown!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't know what to do now, what a waste of my money.

Check if you have Map Zones. You may need to download one that includes Illinois?

I just updated my ONE V2 (about a year older than yours IIRC) with 905 "USA_and_Canada" maps (I'm guessing "North America" was gone with the new set of devices?)

IL is on my device.

I don't know if it matters but my ONE New Edition (North America model) doesn't have bluetooth handsfree but it uses bluetooth for traffic (mostly non-smartphone phones can pair. My iPhone cannot).

Also, it has TomTom Buddies and TomTom Weather (under TomTom PLUS Services button)

Please, is there a phone number to contact TomTom? I would appreciate it
As I have been on the computer for hours trying to get
A map update for $79.95 and I am so frustrated as I will admit
I am tech challenged. Now, when I turn my TomTom on, all I see
Is funny little symbols that look like traffic lights. I had no idea what I
Was getting into or I never would have paid the fee for updates. :sad:
