How do I update destination names?

LostAspie · 07-03-2008, 9:41 AM

I looked through the destinations in my town, and noticed that my TomTom still refers to the mall here as the Pyramid Mall...now, for at least a year, the mall has been called the "Shops at Ithaca Mall". It also seems to think that the old Hoyts theater still exists, when it was replaced by the Regal Stadium 14 theater a year ago as well.

How do I get this kind of information up to date? I'm finding nothing on my TomTom home application that can help with this.

Make sure you're running the latest map data TomTom offers. Then, if it's still incorrect, TomTom should have a way of reporting the errors so they can update it in a future release of their map data.

TomTome Home keeps telling me the maps are up to date, and I can't seem to find any way to report this problem.

If you've got the latest, then there's really nothing you can do until they get around to correcting that old information....

Here's info on how to give feedback on map data: TomTom, portable GPS car navigation systems - Support home - How can I submit feedback about the map data?

I don't know the one you have, but on mine you can report issues right on the unit. Just go to "map corrections" Then specify the problem, then send to tomtom the next time you connect to tomtom home.
