Receiving the latest map updates
When you connect your TomTom Start to your computer, TomTom HOME
automatically downloads any available map corrections and sends any
changes you have made, to the Map Share community.
There are several types of corrections which can be set in the Correction
preferences menu.
Marking a map error while on the move
Important: For safety reasons, you should only mark a location when you are
driving. Do not enter the full details of an error while you are driving.
If you notice an item on your map that needs attention, you can mark the loca-
tion using the Report button and then enter the details when you are no longer
driving.
To show the Report button in the Driving View, do the following:
1. Tap Options in the Main Menu then tap Map corrections.
2. Tap Correction preferences.
3. Tap Done and then tap Done again.
4. Select Show report button, then tap Done.
The Report button is shown on the left-hand side of the Driving View. After
you mark a location, you can add more information about the change when
you open the Map corrections menu.
For example, you are driving to a friend's house and you notice that the name
of the street you are on is different from the one on your map. To report the
change, tap the Report button and your Start will save your current location.
You can then send the correction to TomTom Map Share when you have fin-
ished your journey.
