Can someone in this forum who has contact with Tomtom tell us what the hell is going on. Has Tomtom abandoned this camera or what. There has been very little movement as far as software update for the camera and practically nothing from that dinosaur of a program called Bandit studio beta.
If Tomtom has called it quits then put us out of our misery so we can move on and look elsewhere if we need to expand our camera range. I hate this nothing coming out of Tomtom.

Waiting for good news and also new functions for the Tom Tom Bandit
If i am wrong PLEASE PLEASE let me know, I will be glad to eat my words. So there you go TOMTOM I have put the ball in your court, how about an answer for us poor consumers who have put there hard earned money into your product, we deserve better than this silence..........
And I will also add that I find this to be very poor customer support - how can you, on your official home page, actively promote and sell a product that doesn't get updated? Bad form!
They finally won the cup, so it seems that the bandit really helped them. It is a shame that we won't get any more updates or the full version of the software. But they could at least release the code. I'm sure there is people out there with the skills to make modifications to the software.
I'm really happy with my bandit, but I read somewhere that the Bandit team didn't get funds and the project was cancelled.. Not sure if it's true..:?
We are lucky these days that we have the internet to vent our frustration and that these companies know that bad publicity for them is not a good image, because if it wasn't for the internet they would get away with a lot more.
My personal translation of that is that they will support the camera for a while because they do indeed care about customers but I think we should prepare ourselves for the possibility that the Bandit might be discontinued in the not-too-distant future.
Thanks for all your feedback here and sorry for my late reply!
We keep supporting the TomTom Bandit with software updates in case bugs arise that need to be solved and we hope that you will continue to enjoy using the TomTom Bandit.
Cheers, Mikko
I'm sorry Mikkok for being blunt, but does that mean that Tomtom only brings out updates only if there is a problem with the camera?
I thought updates were to improve the function of the camera and make it better, just like Go-pro and other manufactures do.
So you are saying we won't get another update until many of us develop a new problem with the camera, and we all get sick and tired of using that hopeless Bandit studio program that's been in Beta format for over 2 years that we have all complained about, where you can only load 6 seconds of your video at a time.
I'm sorry mate, but if you want us to support Tomtom then Tomtom should show better support to it's customers first.
I will keep my Bandit until it stops because i like my camera, but I will never buy another Tomtom product again, and if this is the answer from Tomtom, then i feel very sorry for thousands of other poor souls who have been left in the dark.
Shame Tomtom shame...................
I will still buy another couple, but will wait till the price drops now
From memory you are saying exactly the same still.
The software does get minor updates. But what people what is a big update.
Because if your replies years ago I got a full refund from TT.
Why has here not been a TT bandit version 2/3/4 etc.
Perhaps it is now a good time to release a new version of the app? The current version does not work on Android 8 and without the app, the camera is sorta useless because you can't see what you are recording.
I expect TomTom to fix any bugs, but why do you expect them to bring out any major updates or new features? What the manufacturers want you to do, (and Tomtom are no better or worse than anybody else in the cunsumer electronics game) is for you, in a couple of years time, to buy the 'next generation' of whatever that has all these new features alreay built into it. It's called built in obsolesence or plain old consumerism and like it or not, that's the world we live in.
Only used ones on ebay and amazon.
I guess it's look elswhere, GoPro Hero 7 Black looks good with the stabilisation.
Superusers
The Bandit was discontinued years ago after being poorly reviewed with minimal sales so I am not sure why you would even consider it. TomTom Sports itself went out of business over 18 months ago so you should not be buying any TomTom sports products at this point.
Has anyone found or know of other editing software that can utilise the GPS data from the camera footage?
I'm just interested in putting together clips that have a speed or trail overlay.
