We have a 2019 Auto - Sleeper(Peugeot Boxer) with a built in Tom Tom sat nav /radio unit.It went in for Y2 service at Robins and Day,Sheffield yesterday(Peugeot Main Dealers) and when I asked them about the map updates they did not know how to do it.They told me to visit the Tom Tom website which I did and I came away none the wiser.My AS dealer is shut pending "white smoke"from the Government re Lockdown,so does anyone out there have an idea about how you obtain the said map updates?We have had "fun and games" with out of date SatNav maps in the past -particularly in urban areas on the Continent.🙈

I always keep an up to date,nation relevant, paper road map in the vehicle as a back up,having been driving abroad since long before SatNav was even dreamt of.

Hmm-consensus seems to be a case of "flogging a dead horse" here.I will ring AS in Willersey next week to see if they have any advice .The SN is part of their "options" pack when you purchase the van so they should know-or maybe not....😕.

Peugeot main dealer was "clueless" in this regard,so back to our(40 years a customer) trusted local garage when warranty expires next year.Peugeot paid for this service as a "goodwill" gesture following a series of hassles for me;due to their poor manufacturing standards and poor QC.That is another story with which I shall not burden you - save to say that polite but firm conversations with Peugeot did get them to cough up for the service,in the end.

We already have two Garmin units for our cars but I am trying to avoid "spaghetti" wire clutter in the cab as I already have a dash cam wire in there.Get the map out time?

You could buy a garmin with built in dash cam and lifetime updates. That way sack the dash cam off and you still only have the one wire. If you buy from Halfords they will wire it up proper, no wires on show for £30
