TomTom Map ShareTomTom Map ShareTM is a free service that lets you make updates to your 
map and if you want to, share those updates with other members of the 
TomTom Map Share community.
If you find a street that has recently been blocked to traffic but was open 
before, 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 updates to your own map for use on 
your own 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 wa nt and each time you connect your 
TomTom to TomTom HOME, the  map is automatically updated.
