TomTom iPhone app gets MapShare
TomTom, a provider of location and navigation solutions, announced that its newest update to the TomTom App for iPhone, version 1.6, includes TomTom Map Share.
While the news about TomTom Map Share on iPhone isn’t new, with the feature being announced for customers in the US and Europe in mid-December 2010, the service was still being tested in South Africa until 6 January 2011.
TomTom Map Share enables iPhone users to make changes to their own maps and to benefit from free map updates that are made by the TomTom community and verified by TomTom.
App users will be able to edit street names, set driving directions and block and unblock streets directly on their maps and share their changes with the TomTom community.
The TomTom App automatically checks for new TomTom verified map updates including turn restrictions, speed limit changes and crossing changes every week or on-demand as often as the users choose.
“With the addition of Map Share, TomTom App users will get free, verified updates via Map Share anytime on top of the most accurate map available on-board,” said Tom Murray, senior vice president of market development for TomTom Inc.
