For quite a few years I’ve been using the Garmin GB & IRL sat Nav app on my smartphone which I bought with a “Lifetime” of free upgrades. I like it very much as it includes a lot of useful features like live traffic etc.
How do they get out of this “Lifetime” feature, they pull the plug on it. It upgraded recently with the message “that from the 14 May it will no longer be available and supported though existing uses can continue to use it for another two years”.
It seems that they are bringing out another version called StreetPilot which will require a new payment!!
Searching the net - lots of complaints from folks that have recently just bought the original version to find its going to be scrapped!!
It’s seems that Garmin are not the only ones to have done this, I read that Tom Tom did it a while back as well as others.
Shady practice.
