Making a map update
Receiving the latest map updates
When you connect your TomTom XL to your computer, TomTom HOME
automatically downloads any available map updates and sends any changes
you have made, to the Map Share community.
There are several types of updates which can be set in the Correction
preferences menu.
Marking a map error while on the move
If you notice an item on your map that needs attention, you can mark the
location 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 Map corrections in the Main Menu.
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 XL will save your current location. You
can then send the update to TomTom Map Share when you have finished
your trip.
