TomTom Map Share
TM
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 to 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.

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.
