I have a TomTom Via 125 and 135 that I use in my cars and when traveling
in the RV. I prefer to have the maps completely in the navigation device
instead of depending on having data access for my phone and using up my
data quota.

I did run into the problem of not having enough space for the maps, but
I discovered that the units I have have an SD card slot for additional
memory, so I added an 8GB SD card and now have room for the entire US,
Canada and Mexico map set, which is all I need.

Another thing was that when I purchased the units, they came with
"lifetime" map updates. A couple of years ago, the "lifetime" apparently
expired, and I got a notice when I logged on that maps were no longer
available for them. I contacted their tech support and told them the
units still worked and I was still using them, and why weren't they
honoring my "lifetime" updates? They obligingly reset my account so I
still get the updates: I am on update 1155 and expect to load the next
update soon. So I have been happy with TomTom.
