TomTom First in the World to Offer Users the Ability to Improve Maps Instantly Through Unique TomTom Map Share™Technology
TomTom Map Share™ is a proprietary map improvement technology unique to TomTom, which enables users to easily and instantly improve maps. TomTom users can respond in real time to changes in the road network and correct the maps on their TomTom devices accordingly. Thanks to the smart user interface, it is easy to make improvements, such as blocked or unblocked streets, reversed one way traffic or new street names, which will instantly take effect.
Roads are continually changing. This feature gives TomTom users the option to capture these changes on their device in-between map releases and keep their data as current as they wish. These changes allow the community of TomTom Map Share™ users to always have the most up-to-date maps and inside local knowledge at their fingertips.
TomTom has the world’s largest satellite navigation community with over 10 million users. TomTom Map Share™ users can share their improvements with each other easily through TomTom HOME, TomTom’s free software application that enables users to manage, download, store and transfer content from their computer (PC/MAC) onto their TomTom device. When it comes to sharing improvements, users can choose between downloading all reported map improvements or only accepting map improvements verified by a TomTom team of experts to guarantee timeliness and validity.
TomTom Map Share™ is offered for free with both the TomTom
GO 520 and TomTom GO 720.
'TomTom Map Share™ is an important component of a new era in
navigation. By enabling millions of TomTom users around the world
to automatically share and mutually benefit from each other's local
road knowledge every day for free, TomTom ensures that drivers have
the most accurate and up to date maps available in the industry',
said Harold Goddijn, chief executive officer at TomTom.
