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 not uploaded even when you later connect via WiFi.
Map corrections
Map corrections are reported by Map Share users. Some are shared with other community mem-
bers immediately and some are first verified by TomTom.
Corrections that are reported by Map Share community members include changes to the traf-
fic 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 miss-
ing streets, new speed cameras, errors in motorway entrances and exits, and missing round-
abouts.
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.
