TomTom announced that TomTom Map Share - its unique map improvement technology - has received the one millionth map improvement from its users since the launch of the service in July 2007. Over half a million Map Share users have joined the Map Share community since it became available.
“We are very pleased to see that the TomTom Map Share service is used so intensely by our user community,” said Harold Goddijn, CEO of TomTom. “Road networks change every day and often unexpectedly. Previously, navigation providers couldn’t offer maps that were current enough to meet users’ needs. Now users can improve their own maps, easily and instantly, directly on their device. And more importantly, our users can receive all the improvements made by others, and thereby benefit from all their local road knowledge every day, free of charge. The more often users connect their device to TomTom HOME, the more up-to-date their maps will be. TomTom is the only navigation solutions provider offering customers this unique and effective solution.”
Out of the one million uploaded map improvements, about two thirds can be fixed instantly. The remainder is forwarded to the TomTom development team – which is working on fixing more and more types of errors – or can be forwarded to the map provider for further study.
With TomTom Map Share™, users can:
• improve their maps when they spot road changes with just a few touches on the screen of their device
• share and receive all map improvements by connecting the device to TomTom HOME
• keep their data current by connecting regularly to TomTom HOME
• have the most up-to-date maps available in the industry at all times
