Map share query

woodchip · Posted: Thu Jun 10, 2010 7:54 am Post subject: Map share query

My road , previously an unnamed road, has been allocated a name and I then submitted it to Map Share. Although the name appears once I start navigating it still appears as an unnamed road as my position when I first boot up, is this correct or am I doing something wrong. Also a friend who is also a map share contributor does not receive the update when he connects to T.T.

I'm sure i re-named a road a while back and the change was instantaneous.

As for your friend it depends on a) your status as a Map Sharer and b) what level your friend has set his unit to accept Map Shares from.

There are 4 levels. It's possible your submission will have to go through verification and then if accepted your friend will get it.

If / when you become a more Trusted Submitter your submissions may be distributed faster but again it depends on what level of trust your friend has set his unit to accept.

Connect your unit to TomTom Home and look at

Tools Menu, TomTom MapShare and you can see the levels i am talking about.

Thanks for that Paul. My friend has all the boxes ticked to receive updates from reliable sources but I wondered if it made a difference if he didn't have the latest map. Perhaps I wasn't clear in my post but my road name change was immediate once I started to navigate but when I log in at the bottom of the screen it still says present location is unnamed road.

I think name changes on your own unit are instant, but corrections via mapshare take some time. None of my submissions to TT have ever been used in later maps. You might be better reporting the problem stariaght to teleatlas, I did several last week after advice on another post here and one had been actioned already Smile

The only way your friend gets your map corrections is...

IF he has an identical device to yours - same model, same map.
IF he has his mapshare set to accept changes from everybody and their mates - i.e. NO security checks.
IF he's "lucky" - and that's assuming getting mapshare corrections is lucky!

I get the same problem on MY TT...

I live in Oxclose, PE3 - but for ages TT kept saying the road was callled Hanover Close.

I have repeatedly changed it (via TT Mapshare & TeleAtlas).

However, when I switch my TT on outside my house, it shows the road name as BOTH "Hanover Close" & "Oxclose" until my unit gets a Satellite Fix, then the "Hanover Close" disappears!!!!
