TT Home 12 months only

Well, went out and bought a TT1 3rd edition yesterday.
Reading thru the licensing blurb (no, I'm not really that geekish usually Laughing

) I was surprised to read that you will only be able to use TomTom Home for 12 months from first usage!! So I guess after that you will either have to pay for the privilage or, buy one of their expensive upgrade maps and then perhaps get access again.
Bit sly that!

Have you got a link to that? I was aware that MapShare only lasted for *12 months , but HOME as well?

*In fact, whilst your map will only be updated by TomTom for 12 months, you can still make your own alterations after that, other limitations depending.

CORRECTION. Sorry Tim you are indeed quite correct, it refers to the Mapshare feature. It's printed on one of the cards that comes with the unit, and intially since it was on about connecting to the PC, I thought it referred to Home not mapshare. sorry.

That said, I'm still iritated, Mapshare was one of the reasons I went for TT and dind't realise it was limited time.

Oh well.

Ah, OK. Well, like I said, MapShare is 'partially' restricted to a year. This is because of limitations in the number of changes that can be made to each map.

Have you "joined" Mapshare?
Are you logged into Home? (Which version?)
Have you set map corrections preferences (trusted/many/some etc.) on the unit?
Have you set POI corrections preferences in Home?
