In the past I bought the maps for my Start25: Europe, Africa and other of the world. If I replace my TomTom with a new device, will the maps still work

SuperuserHi @gigtoyota.
The maps on your Start 25 are linked to the serial number of the device so are not transferable to any other device.
Some current models are offered with single maps and any other maps you require you will have to pay for.
If however you buy a current model with World Maps then you will have all of Tomtom's maps available to you and lifetime updates for them at no further cost.. Depending what model you get they may also get lifetime cameras etc. Some of the models require you to link your Smart phone to the device for Traffic whilst some, have a mobile Sim which provides that service. Tomtom Traffic is only available for the area within which the device was bought so would not work in Affrica and other Countries/Continents if you buy it in Europe.
