The TomTom ONE third edition offers traffic updates, Bluetooth hands-free calling and MapShare, a feature that allows users to edit details of their maps. This GPS device comes installed with a map of North America; however, you may want to add a map for another area, such as Australia, South America or Europe. After purchasing your map, you can install it using the free TomTom HOME software, which facilitates data transfer between the device and your computer.
Step 1
Download the free TomTom HOME application (see Resources). Choose 'Save File,' and follow all on-screen prompts to complete installation of the program. Leave the program open. If you already have TomTom HOME saved to your computer, open the program from the start menu.
Step 2
Connect the ONE to the computer using its USB cable. Click the 'Back up and Restore' option in HOME's main menu. Click 'Back up my device,' then 'Back up now.' Wait for the back up to complete, and click 'Done.'
Step 3
Click 'Log in' from the HOME main menu to enter your TomTom account. Click 'Update my device' if the program does not recognize the map you have purchased and downloaded.
Step 4
Click on the map you want to install, then click the check box next to 'Update and install.' The map downloads to the GPS device. Click 'Done' when this finishes. Disconnect the TomTom from the USB cable.
Switch to the European map by tapping 'Manage maps' on the GPS' preference menu, then 'Switch map.'

TomTom navigation devices get regular map updates at least once a quarter to keep you in the know when it comes to route changes and new location information. The company offers two different software programs to update your maps depending on what device you have: MyDrive Connect and TomTom HOME. Both programs are available as free downloads for Windows PCs and Macs. While some TomTom updates are paid, you can update your device for free with the company’s “Latest Map Guarantee” if you’ve purchased it recently or if you have a device or app that includes Lifetime Maps.
Latest Map Guarantee Updates
When you purchase most new TomTom devices, the company gives you some time to download any updates released since your unit was manufactured. This way, you know you’ll have the most up-to-date information when you start using your device. If you purchase a TomTom from the GO series, you have 30 days from the first time you use your unit to download updated maps, if available. If you purchase a unit from TomTom’s PRO series, you get a little longer – 90 days from the first time you use it. The Latest Map Guarantee doesn’t apply to refurbished units or memory cards with preinstalled maps. It also doesn’t apply to units with Lifetime Maps since those devices get free updates anyway.
TomTom GO: If you have a TomTom GO, download and install the TomTom HOME program. Connect your device to your computer with the provided USB cord and sign in with your TomTom account (or create a new account). Click on 'Tools > Use Latest Map Guarantee.' If there’s a newer map than the one installed on your device and you’re within the guarantee time period, you’ll see the map update. Click “Continue” to start the download and installation of the new map, then “Done” when finished. Click 'Device > Disconnect Device' before unplugging your unit.
TomTom PRO: If you purchased a TomTom PRO device, updating it under the Latest Map Guarantee is a similar process, but instead, download the MyDrive Connect software from TomTom’s website. Plug your unit into your computer and open MyDrive Connect. The program opens in your default web browser. Click 'Overview > View Updates.' Click in the box next to any available updates, then click the “Update Selected” button. After the update finishes installing, the device will restart. You can disconnect it from your computer safely after the restart.
Lifetime Maps
Some TomTom devices and smartphone apps come with Lifetime Maps or other Lifetime services, like TomTom Traffic and Safety Cameras. If you purchase a product that has Lifetime Maps, you’ll be able to update it for free at least four times a year for the lifetime of your unit. Some products come with lifetime updates for the map regions preinstalled on your device, while others include World Lifetime Maps, meaning you can download maps for any region supported by your device without paying extra.
Download TomTom HOME or MyDrive Connect to your PC or Mac, depending on which program your device uses for updates. First, register your device to receive an email from TomTom when there’s a new map available. If your device didn’t come with a code for Lifetime Maps and simply had the Lifetime Maps icon on the packaging, plug your device into your computer, sign in with your TomTom account and click on 'Tools > Use Latest Maps Guarantee' if you’re using TomTom HOME. If you’re using MyDrive Connect, the software opens and shows you any available updates as soon as you connect your device to your computer.
If your TomTom unit came with a promotion or activation code for Lifetime Maps, enter the code in the TomTom software to download future map updates. For TomTom HOME, plug your unit into your computer and turn it on. Tap “YES” on your GPS unit when it asks to connect to your computer. Click the “Eject” button and disconnect your unit from your computer, then click “Use my activation code” in the main menu of the TomTom HOME program. Type in your code, then click “Next” and “Continue” once it accepts the code.
If your unit requires you to use MyDrive Connect, plug your unit into a USB port on your computer and open MyDrive Connect if it doesn’t open automatically. If you haven’t connected your GPS unit to your TomTom account yet, you’ll see a prompt to do so. Next, click the “Use Activation Code” at the bottom right corner and make sure it shows the correct serial number and model for your device. Click “Continue,” enter the activation code that came with your device, then click “Activate.”
Paid Updates
If you’re past the Latest Map Guarantee period and your device didn’t come with Lifetime Maps, you can still get map updates from TomTom’s website and install them through the MyDrive Connect or TomTom HOME software, but the updates won’t be free. You can also purchase maps for different countries or regions.

- In most cases, you cannot update your TomTom's maps for free; you will need to purchase those updates. If you have purchased a device that includes lifetime map updates, however, you can receive free maps up to four times per year through My TomTom or TomTom HOME. If your device is eligible, these updates will be offered to you when you connect your device to the computer and launch the TomTom software.
