To check for free updates using TomTom Map Share, connect your TomTom to the computer. Select the correct model from the drop-down menu, or the scrolling list with images. Once you have downloaded and installed TomTom Home, the next step is to download the TomTom Map Share application for the TomTom model you are using. You can even download special free content such as voices or color schemes. For example, it will notify you if there is a new quarterly map, service update, or other software available for your TomTom device. Along with allowing you to receive map updates from the TomTom Map Share community, TomTom Home has many other benefits as well. The first thing you need to do, if you have not already, is to download the TomTom Home application. When you connect your TomTom to your computer, you can upload any changes you have made to maps and then download any available map updates you choose. This means that if you encounter a detour, newly closed road or mistake in a TomTom map, you can note the change on your TomTom to avoid it in the future and also share your information with other TomTom users. Not only can you download free updates provided by other TomTom users, you can also make map corrections as you drive. TomTom Map Share technology is a free way to update your TomTom maps with corrections and input from a community of TomTom users.
