TomTom disappointment...

In article , says...

Standalone GPS units for cars are about as obsolete as your political
thinking. If you like Garmin products, its U.S.A. mapping program for
iPhones and iPads duplicates the features of those units and is easy to
update over wifi. I have that and a standalone Garmin unit, and the
standalone unit stays home. Apple and Google also offer similar software
programs, and they are pretty good and getting better. I usually use the
Google program. It has a live traffic option, I believe, but I've never
used it.

Plenty of use for stand-alone units.
Many people don't pay the monthly charges for cell phones, or data plans
that provide mapping. I'm one of them.
Besides, my eyes need a bigger screen, and I don't like pasting my cell
phone to the windshield.
I'm thinking about buying a new Garmin with lifetime maps.
Not thinking of changing my cellphones, which costs me ~$50 a year for
two phones.
