About TomTom Map Share

TomTom Map Share helps you correct map errors and share map corrections with the rest of the

TomTom Map Share community.

You can correct your map and share map corrections with other Map Share users using Browse Map

in the Main menu.

Note: TomTom Map Share is not available in all regions. For more information, go to

tomtom.com/mapshare.

On an iPod touch or iPad without 3G, TomTom Map Share only connects to the TomTom Map

Share community when there is a WiFi connection. Changes you make while not connected are

shown only on your TomTom app and are notuploaded even when you later connect via WiFi.

Map corrections

Map corrections are reported by Map Share users. Some are shared with other community members

immediately and some are first verified by TomTom.

 Corrections that are reported by Map Share community members include changes to the traffic

flow in a street, blocking or renaming a street, and adding, removing or editing POIs.

These corrections are immediately shared with the Map Share community.

 Corrections that are reported by Map Share members and verified by TomTom include missing

streets, new safety cameras, errors in highway entrances and exits, and missing rotaries.

These corrections are investigated and verified by TomTom and are included when the next map

version is released.

Switching Map Share on and off

TomTom Map Share is automatically enabled when you start the TomTom app and a welcome

message is displayed.

If you want to stop using Map Share, tap Change Settings in the Main menu, then Advanced. Adjust

the Map Share setting to turn Map Share off or on.

Note: When this setting is adjusted the map is reloaded so that map corrections can be applied or

removed. This may take several seconds.

Downloading and sending map corrections

After the welcome message, you are asked if you want to download any map corrections that are

available from other TomTom users. Map Share then checks for new corrections on a weekly basis.
