In 2019 three manufacturers of consumer GPS navigation products, including this company, agreed to stop using 'lifetime' claims in their advertising of navigation services after the ACCC raised concerns these statements were potentially false, misleading or deceptive.

This company said it was planning to sell GPS data collected about its customers' journeys to road authorities and private companies. This was after it had been forced to apologise when the same data was used by Dutch authorities to set speed traps. TomTom Sales in Australia rejected privacy concerns and claimed it was 'tracking users' by collecting real-time 'timestamped GPS data' of users journeys and the data was decoupled from individual users.
