Known issues and safety
Recall check: we searched GOV.UK product safety alerts, reports and recalls (Office for Product Safety and Standards) for “tomtom” on 19 October 2026 and found no results [2]. Check the list again for the exact model before you buy.
Because the unit is discontinued, ask how long map and software updates will be supported before buying one second-hand.

Can I update it without a computer?
