UPDATE: Read our TomTom GO 720 review.
A week ago I reported on TomTom Map Share which, in their words, "allows TomTom users to easily improve their maps as soon as they spot changes in the roads with a few touches on the screen of their device." Today, yourNAV is reporting that Map Share may fall quite a bit short of expectations, saying that only five types of corrections will be allowed:
- (un)Block a street
- Reverse driving direction
- Change a street name
- Add a missing Point Of Interest (POI)
- Change a Point Of Interest (POI)
They do say that TomTom is planing a future version of Map Share, which will allow the addition of roads. A close reading of the original press release reveals no promise of adding roads at this stage, but it is easy to assume that this is an included feature. Oh well, it’s a start.
About Rich Owings
Personally I think the Map Share stuff sounds great. It’s a totally revolutionary and groundbreaking concept – at least I haven’t heard of anything like it before. It’s also the first version, I’m sure it will get better and more advanced over time once TomTom have got it all up and running. Not sure why the yourNAV guys are being negative about this, I think it’s very exciting and I think we can expect really great things out of it in the future.
I agree. It is a major step. I think a lot of us just had our hopes up for more. But that will come, with time.
I’m keeping an open mind, as it is the first version of the feature. It’s a smart decision by TomTom to include this feature with the 720 – it really makes it stand out from competing devices.
I agree, even the five features that they will allow is a really good start when compared to the “user can’t modify mentality of Garmin”. I have a nuvi 350 but seem to really long for the feature set found in the TomToms.
Does anyone know if Map Share will be available on older units such as the Go 910…perhaps after we update to the new map versions?
Maybe. NavCore 7 hasn’t been released for the x10 models yet. We’ll have to wait and see if Map Share is included. Shouldn’t be long before we know…

I just wonder if the changes are checked before it is send to other ppl. Imagine someone is playing and places mass changes into his system and transfers it. Everybody would have wrong data.
There are definitely checks and balances included. Mass changes are sure to be discounted, but field checks probably aren’t done unless it’s going in new Tele Atlas products.
