It also doesn’t apply to units with Lifetime Maps since those devices get free updates anyway. It must be clearly pointed out that the TomTom mapping and navigation application itself remained fully proprietary it was the GO's operating. The Latest Map Guarantee doesn’t apply to refurbished units or memory cards with preinstalled maps. If you purchase a unit from TomTom’s PRO series, you get a little longer – 90 days from the first time you use it. If you purchase a TomTom from the GO series, you have 30 days from the first time you use your unit to download updated maps, if available. This way, you know you’ll have the most up-to-date information when you start using your device. Latest Map Guarantee Updates When you purchase most new TomTom devices, the company gives you some time to download any updates released since your unit was manufactured. While some TomTom updates are paid, you can update your device for free with the company’s “Latest Map Guarantee” if you’ve purchased it recently or if you have a device or app that includes Lifetime Maps. Both programs are available as free downloads for Windows PCs and Macs. The company offers two different software programs to update your maps depending on what device you have: MyDrive Connect and TomTom HOME.
TomTom navigation devices get regular map updates at least once a quarter to keep you in the know when it comes to route changes and new location information.
