I WAS able to obtain the latest map guarantee service from TomTom Home w/out a hitch. Strange that there seemed to be a split on this as well contradictory advice from Tom Tom saying that the “latest map gurantee’ does not apply to refurbs. Well my unit is a refurb and I jusut got finished with the free update successfully. I’m going with an earlier poster who suggested the possibility that had the previous owner of a refurb unit never registered the unit it would be recognized as a new unit by Tom Tom Home and thus recognized as an eligible new unit by TomTom home;conversely had the unit been registered previously the Tom Tom home site would have recognized the unit as aged and therefore not eligible for the upgrade.It would have been not likely that TomTom bothered to check each of the devices serial numbers to block them from the service;such a measure would likely cost more than it was worth. Instead they just pulled the mention of a free amp upgrade from the boxes of the refurbs and maintained the party line that all refurb units are not eligible for the latest map upgrade when in fact many are..
So the upshot is–at least try to use the latest map guarantee ;chances are probably greater than 50/50 you could do it just going off of the posts replying in this thread.

Great product. After long research, it seems as Garmin is best gps product over all.
Signal is always good, fast re-route calculation, easy to use and more user friendly.
The product is little bit high but it’s worth every penny.
