Good morning everyone!! Awesome deal!! Similar to this popular deal from @ dealbot

Steps -
1) launch OP link. Stay in the German site ie don’t change over to Australian site as promo code won’t work. No VPN required.
2) sign up or log in using an existing account. If you’re signing up, you’ll need a German address. If you’re using existing account, you’ll need to migrate your account over to Germany to get the free 12 month extension.
3) download the TomTom Go app to your phone. Sign-in to 'TomTom Services' via 'Settings' to confirm subscription for 1 year.

According to tomtom , the subscription is automatically renewed after 1 year, so don't forget to cancel
You can cancel and still keep your 12 months free subscription.
How to cancel: Go to German website, use google translate to navigate, Go under Subscription and Cancel Subscription.

Benefits over apps such Google Maps:

  • Does not require an active internet connection

  • The traffic alerts are more up to the minute (Google's are user generated whereas TomTom's are based on accurate floating car data)

  • TomTom has a more detailed lane guidance system

    This would have been great 10 years ago ! With plentiful data and cheap plans is it really an advantage?

    • Scrooge McDeal on 25/06/2023 - 07:41

      It is an advantage, when you loose signal while you are driving somewhere in the bush or not metropolitan.
      And you forgot the best part. It's FREE

        Free is great but I mostly drive around metro so dunno if the other benefits are worth it. Does it also provide speed radar and police warnings?

          i use waze on the carplay for police reports, but still use a tomtom go on the windscreen to avoid traffic delays and actually navigate me somewhere. Waze is very inferior for rerouting. I find the tomtom police reports often out by up to a km, seems when you press the report button, it logs it where the signal is sent not where you pressed the button

            but, I came across a closely guarded secret how to avoid police speed cameras: don't speed…

            I think thats just GPS accuracy in general (plus minus 500m-1km) and could be affected by weather and other factors.

      • Tardvark on 26/06/2023 - 19:02

        It is an advantage, when you loose signal while you are driving somewhere in the bush or not metropolitan.

        Wouldn't you just use the offline maps feature (e.g. Google Maps)? That's what I use when I'm heading into places with no signal.

        • Nickels n Dimes on 13/07/2023 - 13:43

          Google maps is good, it's free and updated regularly, and the street view is handy if hard to access on mobile.
          The down side is it doesn't save some settings between use, like the avoid tolls you have to check every time you use the app, and there's no traffic cameras shown.
          Tom-tom solved those issues for me.

          • Trishool on 19/07/2023 - 11:40

            @Nickels n Dimes: Google Maps saves all settings for me for avoiding tolls, I never have to check. Also you're right that it doesnt show fixed speed cameras from memory, only mobile speed cameras that was reported by other users (so if you're the first few to go through that area and no one has reported it, you could get caught if speeding).

    How does this compare to HERE maps?

    • Jackson on 25/06/2023 - 12:23
      +1

      I also used here maps a fair bit, especially when I was overseas. It was excellent. I am not really inclined to speed, and back then I don't think it had alerts for the UK, but it did tell you the speed limit and that was enough for me. Regardless, for the one or two times in the year this would be useful, it's still not worth the effort and risk of it renewing at the end if I don't cancel it.

      I would also debate whether some "floating car data" is more accurate or real time than actual drivers fingering the phone when they see a camera, I reckon that would be as real as it gets, but I don't actually know what floating car data is so I will be interested to hear from someone who does

    • guidedlight on 25/06/2023 - 08:41

        When Apple Maps launched, it used a lot of Tom Tom data, but I’m fairly sure they have their own data now, and I’m damn sure they never have sold their users’ location data to TomTom.

      Once a subscription is cancelled its status will be changed to Stopped, and you will no longer be billed for its renewal. You can cancel at any time, but any period you have already been billed for will not be refunded. You will continue to receive updates for the service until the final period you have been billed for runs out.

      No $ data, but, does allow exclude all or individual toll roads, I do that sometimes when the time saved is just a minute or two and cost is $5 or more- but, no cost unlike Waze

      • Sharp on 25/06/2023 - 10:48

        Thanks. Are you saying Waze have the both toll cost and individual toll road selection?

        • abbots on 25/06/2023 - 10:58

          Sorry, not sure, I've tried Waze recently as was curious of tunnel signal, which I think are Bluetooth beacons?, that works reasonably well, fwiw. TT as yet doesn't have that.
          In TT to avoid toll(s) is little 'confusing', after I select to avoid, you get two choices, the top choice is over the toll road you wish to avoid, the bottom choice gives you toll avoidance.
          I used to use Sygic since years ago, but since a while, TT. Never really used Waze apart from several times to try some aspects of it.

    https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.osmand (also available for Apple) is free, offline and doesn't track you.

    The downside is no traffic reporting.

    I've used it for everything from driving down to hiking through the alps (as it has forest/bush trails mapped). :)

    There is a paid version (which I have) but the free version I think allows the download of one map (there is a single map version of Australia :) ).

    • jebdra on 25/06/2023 - 16:13

      Another vote here for osmand.

      It's brilliant for lots if things as well as basic driving navigation.

      You can enable overlays for contours which was my requirement when I found it. It's got a heap of open source overlays, including wikipedia. Great for finding out tourist attractions etc.

      A little (or a lot) more complex than Google maps, but very useful.

      Oh, and the paid version is a one time payment, not a subscription.

  • abbots on 25/06/2023 - 10:30

    Good deal, I'm a long time user of TT navigation, both on Android Auto or directly, my preferred navigation app.

    Good routing, good traffic feed, no positioning in tunnels (Waze is better in that respect).

        Hmm, haven't really had need to use gmaps for navigation since years ago…
        When I 'tested' it many years ago, it chewed too much data - that no longer matters..
        I run out of data allowance, no maps, again, that no longer matters.
        I use gmaps to quickly preview time or ETA as it loads quicker than TT.
        I use gmaps to preview peak hour traffic delays, TT currently doesn't have that, Waze is better in that aspect.
        The only apps I used for any period of time was Sygic, really like it when I used it, ages ago, traffic was crap till they dropped Suna traffic and started using TT traffic, Osmand+ in Europe, was OK.
        Haven't really used Waze beyond trying it, was disappointed overall look'n'feel, also, entered direct street address in Canley Vale, it offered different streets, wtf? My desired street was on bottom after all other streets?? Then it took me to wrong place, other side of railway line?

        I've been using TT and Navman on my PalmPilot PDA with external Bluetooth GPS feed like… 20 years ago?

        I like TT and find it suits my needs, and, when you are on a good thing, stick to it..
        If gmaps or Waze suits your needs, use it.
