TomTom Home got better today. Geekzone
offers details.
First off users can share goodies like voices, routes, POIs, etc.
Second, they can rate the content.
Third, there's now automatic update of content already downloaded: "if someone updates a POI set of favourite restaurants, their changes would automatically be sent out to TomTom HOME users who have previously downloaded that set."
Map Share got updates, too. It's possible to request updates based on areas of interest (by country/region) to save space. There's also "a status indicator which keeps users informed on how up to date their maps are."
TomTom is doing everything right to create a community around its nav device. I can't wait to see how this plays out once Tele Atlas is involved.

My GPS only works fine after some time on. At the beginning it goes crazy, switching from the directions screen to the menu; it wonīt allow you to enter an address properly, an M, or various M will appear on the screen, withoout allowing you to write properly . It will switch to sound and mute without touching anything, and only after some time running with your car will you be allowed to enter the proper directions ant it will work flawlessly afterwards. If the car is stopped for a couple of hours and the GPS is switched off and then restarted, it will work seamlessly without fault. On the contrary, if the GPS is switched off for the night, you will need to go through the same painful process the morning after to get your GS working properly.
Has anyone experienced the same with a TOM TOM? Any advice?.
Many thanks.
