Inappropriate?Hello,
We do update our maps twice a year and use the same map source from TeleAtlas as Garmin do, also we have a feature in newer versions of the software called MapShare which allows you to submit map updates to TomTom which will be stored on your device for later use.
You can update the maps by installing the TomTom HOME client on your home computer and connecting your TomTom to that. If this still does not help or you feel the maps are still out of date for your area then please reply to this and I will see what I can do.
Hope this was helpful.

In the United States Garmin uses Navteq maps. -
Inappropriate?Mapshare is a waste of time. I have made my own personal updates regarding many major missing streets in my city, but they have to be verified before they show up on my map. Mapshare only lets you make informational changes to streets, but you cannot add a street that exists in real life, but not on your tomtom. which is a shame considering the streets are several years old.

Hello Jeremy,
As I replied to this comment in another thread you can have your TomTom use your corrections without us verifying them. As for adding new roads, sounds like a really good idea...who knows we might already have someone working on it ;) -
Inappropriate?I can't understand how an employee of TomTom consideres using Mapshare to add a new street on the current map. New streets can only be reporting with MapShare, but they are only added to new maps which need to be bought later. With MapShare, there is a limited number of actions you can directly benefit on the TT itself, directly. -
Inappropriate?I cannot understand how somebody from TT can recommend to use MapShare to add a new street to a map, since adding a new street can only be reported with MapShare, but it will not add the street to the TT itself. The new street may, but this is not a must, be added to a new map later, which can be bought.
BTW: Garmin is using TeleAtlas maps??? What's about Navteq maps???
