Update TomTom navigation system - this is how the map update works
Depending on the TomTom navigation system, you can update the map updates either for life or for the first 90 days free of charge. We present two options.
TomTom Home: Map update for the navigation system
The TomTom Home software is used in the following instructions. If you do not know the software, you will probably need the instructions in the next paragraph.
- Start TomTom Home and connect your sat nav to the computer with a USB cable.
- If necessary, log in to your TomTom account.
- Under "Extras" you will now find the option "Use guarantee for the latest map version".
- This option can be used free of charge within the first 90 days.
- If the life-time maps are not available for your navigation system, you have to buy the updates in the store. You can find these maps directly on the start page in TomTomHome (see picture).
MyDrive Connect: Map update for TomTom navigation system
Newer devices use the MyDrive Connect software. You can download it from the following TomTom website.
- Start MyDrive Connect, connect your Navi to the PC with a USB cable and switch it on.
- If a new card is available, it will be offered for download when the software is started.
- Click "Next" and follow the instructions. The latest card is then installed.
- Note: If the update is not offered directly, switch to the "My content" category above.
