These devices have proven their functionality throughout time. The maps are constantly updated and many professional and amateur drivers plan their trips using such a navigation system.

If we purchase a brand new TomTom navigator from the store we will also have the newest maps installed on the device. But how to get free updates for our TomTom? Or at least get some free maps? On the newly purchased devices we must examine the benefits of the different models available on the market. In order to make sure we have free maps on the TomTom navigator all the time it is important to purchase a model which has the Free LifeTime Maps feature. We can spare ourselves the expenses of new updates and we have a device which is ready for the road whenever we want to use it. We can also get free maps for TomTom if we follow the sales available in their shops or the Internet.

Every once in a while there is a sale available on certain navigator models bought when such an important bonus was offered. If we have owned such a navigator for a long time the maps become old and cannot be used efficiently. Not having an updated map database, a TomTom navigator with old maps becomes useless and may have a lot of errors.

So how to update TomTom? Of course we can also update the maps by accessing the official TomTom website, and then download TomTom Home app in your Pc which will recognize the data on your navigator and will offer you the latest maps available. These maps must be paid for but they are also the most carefully reviewed and updated.

If you are not willing to invest more money for updates on the TomTom navigator, I’m going to show you some methods which will allow you to get the free maps or free map updates that you need. The first way to get free updates for the TomTom maps is offered by the developer and it is called MapShare. MapShare is a facility by means of which the users can make changes to TomTom maps by correcting or modifying street names, blocked roads, turn restrictions, changes in traffic direction or in speed limits. All these changes are uploaded by TomTom owners following the steps here. These are then grouped into a single package that becomes available for download to navigator owners which register on the developer website and have the Home app installed on the PC. By connecting the device to the PC and activating TomTom Home it will prompt us when we can download the available updates from the MapShare package. These updates bring fast and accurate adjustments and to a high percentage as many benefits as a brand new set of maps but cost-free.

Another great advantage is that compared to paid maps which come out only several times a year, the free updates for TomTom included in MapShare are updated monthly or even daily. Taking into account that TomTom has a huge user database then the adjustments brought by MapShare will most likely cover most regions of the world. Second method for getting updated maps on your Tomtom for free Except MapShare, there are several other independent projects which are try to provide free maps for TomTom using Open Street Maps that we have talked about. Open Street Maps are free maps which are constantly updated by supporters, more on this project you can read here. A project which offers free updated Raster maps (using OSM) for TomTom, is. This app offers raster maps, route creation, route adjustments and warns us if the route isn’t being followed. Moreover, with this software’s help you can import and use Google Earth’s (Maps) registered routes in GPS format.

Unfortunately there is no turn-by-turn guide or other complex features. It can be installed on an SD card and run alongside the original software on the TomTom device. Finally, the last option to get free TomTom maps is the Android or iPhone smartphone app. If we own a good smartphone or an iPhone then maybe it is time we give up the outdated classic navigator and purchase the TomTom app for phones. TomTom for Windows Phone 8.1 is not yet available.but you still have HERE Maps in exchange. We tested TomTom navigation app for Android and. The Android and iPhone navigation app from TomTom is offered with a price but has huge benefits: free maps for life and Free Daily Map Change which upload the adjustments made by their users immediately.

Therefore, we have two free update sources available for the TomTom app, which ensures accurate routing and a carefree trip, and what’s more we don’t need to use the classical navigator but only our phone that we have with us at all times anyway. These are the most popular methods to have the latest maps or free updates for TomTom. The links they sent for downloading the map is not working. Tried using forums but it requires me to sign on and whey I try, it says my account has been disabled. Installed home on a different computer. Still no luck. Interesting to see that promo code I accidentally entered on UK site which keeps pupping up all over didn’t work on US site stating it was already used.

However, they are not smart enough to check if you already purchased a map or not. Not to mention they sale it without verifying if the device have enough storage. Will continue to use iPhone and throw this junk away. I just updated my TomTom Start that I purchased 4 years ago. Yes, the prompting for updating is annoying and the first time you log in to the downloaded TomTom home it may show that you have to pay for maps even if your device, like mine, has free lifetime maps.

A quick call to customer service, who picked up on second ring with no bothersome menu-press-and-listen junk, and a short chat with a representative fixed the problem. No proof of purchase is require. I found the process to be very easy and, unlike this article, there were no connectivity issues if you’re just a little patient. Thanks TomTom. It has been interesting to read some of the views, presently i have a tom tom one and looking for the means of updating its maps, unfortunately i am far less than a novice on computers, so if you able to place some very simple advice or guidance procedure it would truly gratefully received. There is another query and concern i have, i had considered buying the 510 model with world free maps, speed cams and traffic update, all 3 free, but i have read some serious concerning relating people struggling to update maps etc. Please, specifically on youtube and amazon reviews where i found, are you able to comment or perhaps expand the possible reason why there appears a problem.

I purchased my tomtom 720 when I first came out. I believe I paid more than $500 dollars. I hardly use this tomtom 720.

I’ve noticed the battery was dead so I replaced it with new one. Few days ago I was driving using my tomtom720 I nearly crashed, it was pointing me to a wrong direction. I went home and plugged my device to a computer and downloaded the tomtom home? It did recognise my device and it only updated minor details, but asking me to buy a new map?

Nowadays maps are everywhere and cost cheap. Pharma Guide Pdf. I do not want to pay extra 80 dollars just to buy map and I only use it in Australia. I thought paying premium $500 for a navigator would get me a life time map update for one country.

2008 Update: We have now posted our. TomTom has just released four new products in the lower end of their product range. Available almost immediately from now, the new models will feature a new slim design, a louder speaker, optional traffic connectivity, and many of the other features from the older ONE and ONE XL ranges. Perhaps of even bigger note to some people, the new ONE range features a redesigned mount that is designed to be easier to use and more secure.

Called “EasyPort”, it allows you to remove the mount from the windshield, and fold it up into the back of the GPS so you can still slip the GPS and the mount into your pocket. The TomTom EasyPort™ mount has a unique, flexible design, allowing the user to affix their TomTom device securely to the desired position on the windshield, using the mechanical locking system. Once at their destination, the user can then remove it quickly and easily, with one twist, when leaving their vehicle.

The clever design allows the driver to fold away the mount neatly onto the TomTom device – and remove the entire unit, without having to worry about stowing the mount separately. In keeping up with current trends, these new models also bring text-to-speech further down the product line. TomTom ONE 130: $199.95 TomTom ONE 130S: $249.95 (includes text-to-speech) TomTom XL 330: $249.95 TomTom XL 330S: $299.95 (includes text-to-speech) And a quick update with a few more tidbits These models will not feature the new IQ Routes feature found on the new GO series devices. The ONE models will not have Itinerary Planning nor custom POI database items as was the case on the ONE 3rd Edition. The XL 330 and XL 330s will have Itinerary Planning and custom POI databases though.

I just bought a TT 130 from the local [snip, see comment policy] because of an upcoming cost to coast move. Every functionality works reasonably well so far. The new mount is actually an advantage in my car (ford focus) since it can be tucked inside a small change pocket in the dash which makes the unit much more accessible compared to a windshield mount one. I have one HUGE gripe though. The speaker is simply pathetic. I can’t hear it over the relatively quite factory stereo (4/30 volume, 60 mph at highway). The nuvi 200 I looked at the store was much louder with better response speed to map redraws and more attractive looking, clear maps.

Tim, you were right. I went back to the retail store and compared the speaker volumes of the nuvi 200 and TT 130 again. The TT 130 they had on display was significantly lauder/better sounding then mine, which is weird because the one that they had on display yesterday (if it was a different unit) sounded just like mine (bad). We fiddled with both mine and the display unit and mine kept sounding bad and that one sounded just fine (even with full resets on both).

Not to make the story any longer, I have a new TT 130 now and I think there might be a systemic defect with some units. Re: Map refresh rate; I was trying to refer to the refresh rate while browsing the map by dragging, which I still think that nuvi has an edge but TT 130 is in no way bad.

Dan, the 130 and 130S were on the TomTom site a couple of days ago. Interestingly, they were removed in the past couple of days. Not sure why as I downloaded the Manual for the 130S and that is still available. I read a couple of reviews that said they could barely hear the TomTom 130S even with radio off and windows up, but a couple other reviews claimed that the 130S was >20% louder than other GPS units. I wonder if there was a problem with the speakers and TomTom decided to pull them until fixed, but as you said they are still being sold out there. Don’t want to spread any false rumors so hope TomTom responds. BTW, a very nice review just came out here.

My wife just purchased the tt one 130s, we are used to using the Garmin 320c. We are not happy so far, why? I can not find how you type in a place you want to go, like in the Garmin it says “Spell Word”, we type in “Hilton” and it shows us all the Hilton’s in the area, closest first. This is the most used feature on our old Garmin, and we cannot find this feature on the Tom Tom?

If it does not have this feature, which I cannot believe, then we will return it. Any help would be appreciated.

We live in south metro Atlanta. We were taking a trip (about 75 miles) up to the outlet malls on the other side of the city. When I typed in the exact name of the outlets “North Georgia Premium Outlets” under the POI area, it said it couldn’t find anything. However, once we were about 6 miles away and I used the POI function to find something close, I typed in “outlet” and the exact place “North Georgia Premium Outlets” came up as a selection. Why, if the exact place for which I was looking is loaded in the POI somewhere, it didn’t find it when we started. I could understand if it was a chain and there wouldn’ve been 300+ entries over the 75 mile trip, that it would reduce it to the closest several, but that is the only place with that name (probably the only one in the country!).

I bought an xl 330 the other day. Works well and the slim mount suction cup for window is nice. It also has a bad that you stick (permanetly) to you dash that the suction cup and stick to. I do have a few complaints though.

The power cable is a pain to put in, its made so you can’t accidently break it, great, bu tI have issues just getting it to sit right, to go along with that I bought the traffic reciever. The power plugs into the traffic reciever (which is required) easy enough, but then plugging the traffic reciever into the unit is sort of a pain. Mostly because since you have to suction cup the traffic reviever to the window, their isn’t much slack to plug it into the xl 330.

Also I would like to have a top level map view and have the map refresh. Currently if you in a top level map view, as your car drives off the screen thats it, the map never adjusts. Other than those minor things I love it and would suggest getting one, the S is a nice feature, but I didn’t have time to shop around and didn’t want to pay the extra $$$ for it, if you can shop around I found the two models with as little as $1 difference. The POI are good, but I wish I could edit the existing, I wanted to add a golf course, I don’t want to have the default and then golf course2 or something, just let me add mine to the list. Maybe someone can help me out hereI have a TomTom ONE 130, and 7 out of 10 it will NOT find a desired POI.

At first I thought that the business was unlisted or something of that sort, but it won’t even find simple listings like “Stop&Shop” (I mean comon’ its Stop&Shop!) Also, the last time I had a hotel reservation, the TomTom didn’t find that either; It was a well known and reputable hotel. Note: I have updated the maps and software mutliple times. Any suggestions??? I am about to return this thing. I’ve been a lucky girl this holiday, receiving my fair share of GPS units.

I hadn’t even thought of getting one so I am not hip to the research. In one hand, someone gave me the tomtom XL 330. My other hand is holding a gift of the Garmin 250. The internet first told me Garmin is by far the best, especially in the US with more solid maps. Deeper in, I’m finding it’s more basic than the tomtom330. Any thoughts, you guys? I can’t keep two.

I’m not even sure I can return either since they are both unwrapped. Bought a Tom Tom XL330. Got to say, the suction cup installation/release has me baffled.

I haven’t yet installed the “sticky” disc that the unit attaches to, but I rotated the disc attached to the suction cup (has the padlock open and close symbols) and nothing happens even though I’m pulling on the rubbery pad/disc that’s on the quick mount to see if it or something will disconnect/let loose when I have the padlock symbol in the open position. I feel like a monkey trying to get at a banana behind a piece of glass. To above After I posted the post, I looked into the Garmin Nuvi 750 & 760 ($300) the 760 is exactly twice the price of the TomTom 130, 760 has text to speech WITH street names, and a built in receiver for tmc traffic receiver. Do you know how useful that really is in Canada? Is the infastructure there to send the current traffic congestion updates?

Are they talking traffic jams that happen & clear up in a period of an hour or so?, or are we talking road construction that has been noted for a day/week etc. Is the 750 or 760 any better for the entry level Geocaching, or am I still better to buy the less expensive TomTom or Mio Moov 200C ($130-$150) & buck up for a Garmin 60CX ($370) Oh yes, I am a newbie if you hadn’t figued that out already Thanks again, Brad. I am shopping for a Mother’s Day gift and had originally been researching only Garmins after many friends suggested Garmins were more user-friendly.

However, my mom told me she thinks she wants a TomTom (after reading that their map updates are less expensive that Garmins?) so I’m back to square one. She wants a 4.3 wide screen and text-to-speech. She will only be driving in the U.S. (mostly OK/TX) so I’m guessing the SD slot won’t be a necessity. She really needs something that is simple to operate-that’s why I was most attracted to the buzz around the Garmins.

If possible, I’m looking for a price range near $160 and refurbished ones will work. I have the TomTom 130 and after downloading tom tom home on my computer, i connected the tomtom and it searched and installed what ever updates it needed. Once complete i disconnected it from my computer and it did a soft reset just as it is designed to do however now all i am getting is a BIG RED flashing X on my screen along with a background image of a tomtom device connected to a cable. I assumed this was a bad thing so i did a soft reset as instruced on TomTom.Com and i got the same result. HAVE I JUST KILLED MY TOMTOM????? Sorry to hear about your loss.

There is an Upside however. The wonderful thing about most electronics retailers is that they have a policy that says if you are not completely satisfied with your purchase, bring it back and they will exchange it for something that is satisfactory. Im sure with a recipt of your last purchase and a small financial investment you can upgrade to a more “option-packed” TomTom. Download Free 365 Casio Manual Pcrb. One that Utilizes the Itinerary planning options and the POI databases you require. Let me know how it turns out.

Just got the Tom Tom XL340S. After much research was told it was easy and accurate. Now I see on different sites that the Tom Tom maps are not the most accurate – they say Garmin is better. Is that true? Also, asked the gps to go home, and it said I reached my destination before I actually reached it. Does this happen often? Also, tried a simple route I knew, and it did not take me the easiest way.

I have it programmed to find the fastest routeis shortest route better? In general having buyers remorse – is Garmin more acurate?

Garmin did not have the features the Tom Tom has for the price, but if it does not get me where I need to go accurately it is useless. Map quality varies by region, and even neighborhood to neighborhood. If one device doesn’t have your street mapped well it might do a better job at mapping a different street. Due to (see that link for more info) a particular address might be within 50 feet of where it should be– or sometimes it could be a thousand feet from where it should be.

As far as route quality, assuming you are using a recent map and don’t have any crazy avoidances set it is hard to beat the (see link) that TomTom offers on that model. It is using the actual measured drive times from other drivers on the same road. So even when it doesn’t pick the route you might like best, it shouldn’t be too far off. Many people find that when they start timing routes that the GPS was correct all along.

The “easiest” way, the “shortest” way and the “fastest” way will produce very different routes. Generally the “fastest” is what most people want. But check your routing types and avoidances you might have set. I just purchased a tom tom XL330s and am very new to a gps. 2 weeks ago we went to 2 differnt locations and it worked great, but on the return trip home i pressed the home icon on the first trip and i really dont know where it was taking me (i was familiar with the area) but it wasnt the direct route.

Now on the second trip that i was not familiar with we got home or to a place we knew but it took us about 30+ miles out of our way. Is there a dummy book that can tell me how to backtrack home without bread crumbs?
