TomTom Map Share

TomTom Map ShareTM is a free service that lets you make updates to your 

map and share those updates with other members of the TomTom Map Share 

community.

If you find a street that has recently been blocked by traffic, 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 your own map updates for use on your 

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 to TomTom HOME, the map is automatically updated.

When you connect your TomTom to your computer, TomTom HOME 

automatically downloads any available map updates and sends any changes 

you have made, to the Map Share community.

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.
