About MyDrive
MyDrive is a web-based tool that helps you manage the contents and services of your TomTom
navigation device. You use MyDrive to get map updates as well as lots of other things.
You log in to MyDrive on the TomTom website. It is a good idea to frequently connect your
navigation device to MyDrive to ensure you always have the latest updates.
Tip: We recommend using a broadband internet connection whenever you connect your navi-
gation device to MyDrive.
About MyDrive Connect
In order to use MyDrive, you need to install MyDrive Connect on your computer.
MyDrive Connect is an application that allows your navigation device to communicate with the
MyDrive website. MyDrive Connect needs to be running all the time that your device is connected
to your computer.
MyTomTom account
To download content and to use TomTom services, you need a MyTomTom account.
You can create an account using your computer in one of the following ways:
 By selecting the Create account button at tomtom.com.
 By selecting the green MyTomTom button at tomtom.com.
