TomTom Map Share
TomTom Map Share
TM
is a free service that lets you make updates to your
map and if you want to, share those updates with other members of the
TomTom Map Share community.
If you find a street that has recently been blocked to traffic but was open
before, you can use Map Share to update your map and then share the update
with other Map Share members.
You can use Map Share to send and receive map updates during the first year
after the map’s release date. This means that one year after the release date,
you will no longer be able to send or receive map updates for that version of
the map - You will still be able to make updates to your own map for use on
your own device.
When you join the TomTom Map Share community you can keep your maps
up-to-date with the latest updates made by other Map Share community
members.
You choose the type of updates you want and each time you connect your
TomTom XL to TomTom HOME, the map is automatically updated.
Map updates
There are two types of map update:
Updates that are immediately shown on the map. These include, changing
the traffic flow of a street, blocking or renaming a street and adding or
editing POIs.
This type of change is immediately shown on your own map. You can hide
these updates at any time in the Map Share preferences menu.
Updates that are reported to TomTom but not shown immediately on your
map. These include, missing streets, errors in freeway entrances and exits
and missing roundabouts.
This type of update is investigated by TomTom and once verified, is included
in the next map release. These updates are therefore not shared with the Map
Share community.
