Why are older models not supported?

I just visited Iceland and, of course, took my faithful TomTom 1005. Imagine my disappointment when I discovered that Iceland is not covered on this device. I had to resort to using old fashioned paper maps. When I originally purchased the device I was promised lifetime updates, but apparently this is not the case. I regard this as a violation of the original agreement. I will probably purchase another GPS unit, but you can be sure that it will not be TomTom.
