    Hi @The_Unable_2_Travel

    Hopefully @VikramK may be able to see if your device was sold with lifetime maps and make any adjustments necessary to your account.

    It is difficult at the moment with people working from home and the phone line customer support currently suspended.

    Have a look back here tomorrow.

    Hi Doug,

    Thank you for your answer.

    Inside the box it has a congratulations leaflet that says, "Your device comes with free Lifetime Maps". So I assume I should have. I shall return tomorrow!

    Yes this is a difficult time for everyone.

    Many thanks once again.

    Hi Vikram,

    Thank you ever so much for you reply and for helping me with my problem in the current situation.

    I can confirm that I have the latest maps available to download on to my TomTom SatNav.

    I hope you and all in the community stay healthy.

    Many thanks once again and best wishes,

    T.U.T

    @VikramK or @lampard the Forum Moderators should pick this up tomorrow and check/correct your Tomtom Account status.....

    Stay Safe... ATB YFM

    Hi @Travelbug
    Welcome to the community!
    Could you send me the serial number of your device through a private message, please?

    Thanks, Vikram

    Why am I being told my map subscription has expired on a device with lifetime map updates?

    If your Via 1535 really has lifetime map updates, check back later, moderator @VikramK will review your account.

    Hi @r_griffiths
    Welcome to the community!
    I reviewed the device subscriptions in the background (device serial number ending 084), I don't see the device is factory embedded with lifetime maps.
    If you bought the device with lifetime maps, then please contact our customer service. They might need some additional information before activating the services.
    Regards, Vikram
