I purchased this using Telstra prepaid credit purchased at half price, costing me $18 for the app. EDIT: I claimed to have purchased it in this manner, but it was via proxy. It won't actually work. You won't be able to pay via Telstra credit.

    ›› FREE Lifetime Maps. Download 4 or more full updates every year for the life of your app.

    What is the life of the app?, If they upgrade the app version does that mean I have to buy again?

    If I change to a new phone, can I install this app again without paying for another licence ?

    • lostn on 30/05/2014 - 07:46

      No, the app gets updated free like any other Android app. As for the 4 map updates a year, they only update the maps 4 times a year anyway, so you get all their updates.

      Yes, you can install it on as many devices as you like, provided you're using the same google account on all of them.

    • ProjectZero on 30/05/2014 - 11:06

      Yeah i also like to know what the "life of the app" means… does that mean they bring out a new version you have to pay again?

      Also, if anyone is interested in a free alternative… apparently Route 66 is free and worldwide… Not too sure how good it is though.

      • Gfleece on 30/05/2014 - 15:02

        Of course changing from an Android phone to an IOS or Windows phone would require a new licence. It's locked to the account you buy it on ie. which ever one you are currently using on Google store.

        • ProjectZero on 02/06/2014 - 13:18

          I was actually referring to whether they updating the app, or do they release a new one?

  • dealspider on 30/05/2014 - 07:51

    As far as I know the android app doesn't have the speed camera alerts like the iOS one does.

    • snappy1234 on 30/05/2014 - 08:01

      @ Dealspider

      As far as I know the android app doesn't have the speed camera alerts like the iOS one does.

      From Here http://www.tomtom.com/en_gb/products/your-drive/smartphone-n…

      Speed Cameras

      Your app receives real-time mobile speed camera locations, including reports from other users. It also warns you of other alerts, such as fixed speed cameras and average speed checks for the road ahead. It saves you money on speeding fines, helping you drive safely and relaxed.
      Available via in-app purchase

      looks like it is available for extra cash now

      • tyank232 on 30/05/2014 - 08:43

        How much extra is speed/ red light alerts?

        • snappy1234 on 30/05/2014 - 08:49

          @tyank232

          How much extra is speed/ red light alerts?

          maybe this much…can't see the android price tho…

          only 50 dollars per year :) http://www.tomtom.com/en_au/services/speed-cameras-other/

        • lostn on 30/05/2014 - 08:52

          A bargain depending on how often you get caught.. I never do, but I got hit almost $400 for a red light once.

        • MickeyG on 30/05/2014 - 08:56

          I'm using the iOS version and at the moment, Traffic alert subscription is 20% off and for 12 months, it's $32.99
          Maybe the Android version is the same?

        • dealspider on 30/05/2014 - 09:37

          In iOS the speed and red light alerts are free whereas in Android it is an in-app purchase. I use both iOS and Android apps.

      • Smtih on 30/05/2014 - 14:30

        Looking at my in-app purchases on my android, I can say that traffic is currently $30.99AU for a 12 month subscription. As far as I know (and I currently am using the traffic subscription) this does not contain any speed camera alerts and there is no other in-app purchases currently available.

    • tyler.durden on 30/05/2014 - 09:38

      why not?

    How do you purchase Telstra pre-paid credit at half price?

    • lostn on 30/05/2014 - 08:29

      I bought them when they were $15 for a $30 starter pack. Then I called Telstra and had the credit combined into one SIM. So I had $60 of credit which I paid $30 for.

      • snvl on 30/05/2014 - 11:06

        you cannot buy apps that cost more than $20 using telstra credit.

  • ShootingStar on 30/05/2014 - 08:02

    I thought that there was a $20 limit on apps that could be purchased using Telstra's carrier billing:

    Why is my 'Bill my Telstra account' greyed out when I tried to purchase an album for $24?
    The content that you are about to purchase has exceeded the content spend limit for a ‘one off' app, book, game, music or movie purchase using Bill my Telstra account as a payment option. This limit is set to $20 and can't be increased. If you want to purchase items over this amount you need to use credit card.

    (from http://go.telstra.com.au/helpandsupport/-/google-play-on-my-…)

    • dan199 on 30/05/2014 - 08:06

      Just put a $40 recharge on, can confirm that it's greyed out for me.

      • skysky on 30/05/2014 - 08:11

        so, how did the OP do it?

  • MickeyG on 30/05/2014 - 08:42

    Google Play cards are 10% off this week at Coles until June 3rd which will bring the price of the app down a little more.

  • highon2str on 30/05/2014 - 08:59

    I've got google maps and navigon (garmin) on my note 3 - how does this compare?

  • congo on 30/05/2014 - 09:20

    The Google built in app is FREE!

    • BhanuL on 30/05/2014 - 09:44

      yeah i use the built in compared when my wife takes out the tomtom, it works as good as the purpose build gps. got to keep it charging though, or it runs out the phone battery

    • [Deactivated] on 30/05/2014 - 09:44

      That's a good point. Is there any reason why should one pay for this app when google maps are free? I am really curious.

    • turbodude on 30/05/2014 - 10:01

      Google maps uses data while Tomtom, Navigon etc are offline except maybe for live traffic updates. I am pretty sure you can load up a route on google maps when on wifi and it loads all maps on the route saving data (haven;t tried it myself though).

      • OzJD on 30/05/2014 - 10:49

        I don't know about you, but I've got all of Sydney saved to my device for offline use in Google Maps. (Traffic is online though)

        Also, they'll likely have the 'use X lane at intersection' available in Australia soon. Now, if only they had camera data!

  • gomango on 30/05/2014 - 10:35

    I think the only Android offline gps app with speed/red light cameras without a yearly subscription fee is Sygic. I think Tomtom, Navigon, Garmin all require a subscription for this. I could be wrong though so let me know if I am.

    • congo on 30/05/2014 - 11:21

      I think you are right.
      The speed/red light cameras is defn worth it.

      So even tho TomTom is great, it would cost more in the long run if you want the speed/red light cameras.

    • syl on 30/05/2014 - 11:30

      maybe copilot has those functions too i think

      • OldBugger on 30/05/2014 - 11:34

        Supposedly it does (I ticked the camera warning button). I just started using copilot. Much faster and smoother that google, even on my old phone. Plus it is all offline (and free!)

  • mirco on 30/05/2014 - 13:51

    If you just need Australian maps, you can use MetroView, which I own it and I'm happy with it (costs $19.80, so it can be paid with Telstra credit). The maps have been updated to 2013-Q4 (even the description says it was 2012). There is also a "Life Traffic Data" option from TomTom for $19.99/year as an in-app purchase (one can spend the Telstra credits for that as well).

    • congo on 30/05/2014 - 17:58

      I have metroview as well but find the maps a bit out of date…

      • snappy1234 on 30/05/2014 - 18:10

        Think they just updated not long ago within a month or two ?

        • congo on 30/05/2014 - 20:13

          Oh OK. I normally disable auto update because iTunes takes up so much bandwidth!

  • Ayastill on 31/05/2014 - 00:03

    Can it use at offline?
