TomTom Offers More Options for Sharing

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.
