With TomTom Map Share, you can correct errors on your map and share 
those corrections with other people in the TomTom Map Share community, 
as well as receiving corrections made by others.
Note: TomTom Map Share is not available in all regions. For more informa-
tion, go to tomtom.com/mapshare.
Map corrections
There are two types of map correction:
• Corrections that are immediately shown on the map. These include, chang-
ing the traffic flow of a street, blocking or renaming a street and adding or 
editing POIs.
This type of change is immediately shown on your own map. You can hide 
these corrections at any time in the Map Share preferences menu.
• Corrections that are reported to TomTom but not shown immediately on 
your map. These include, missing streets, errors in motorway entrances 
and exits and missing roundabouts.
This type of correction is investigated by TomTom and once verified, is 
included in the next map release. These corrections are therefore not shared 
with the Map Share community.
Making a map correction
Important
: For safety reasons, you should only mark a location when you are
