Manage your TomTom navigation device
TomTom Home is a management tool for TomTom GPS navigation. This free and handy utility application lets you perform different maintenance tasks for your device. It allows you to update the contents of your navigation system, including map routes. Moreover, it provides you with real-time traffic reports and road warnings.
Seamless device management
Using TomTom Home is easy. Once installed, you only have to connect your TomTom GPS device to your computer using the USB cable that comes with the package and power it on. The app will then automatically recognize it and will allow you to manage its content. At the main panel, you can see all the buttons for most management options. With this, you can operate your GPS device more intuitively.
From the options provided, you can get updates for various routes. What's more, you can get real-time traffic reports and receive warnings when approaching safety cameras. Additionally, you can use the app to view fuel prices at various gas stations. There is also an option to add songs to your device, so you can enjoy the drive while singing along to your favorite tune. As mentioned, the app allows you to save images and documents to your device.
Another noteworthy feature of the TomTom Home app is its planner. With this, traveling abroad or visiting an unknown city can be easy. All you need is to set a starting and a destination point and then wait for the app to calculate the route. Once done, it will display the total amount of travel time, including traffic delays. Of course, it will also give you driving directions.
Update your device with ease
On top of content management features, TomTom Home also lets you update your TomTom GPS device. Connecting your device to the app makes it possible for you to control the GPS navigation system from your PC. It allows access to online documents of the equipment so you can update its firmware and software. Moreover, it lets you create and restore security copies. You can even manage the installed components in the device.
Furthermore, each time you connect the device, it obtains correction of the Map Share services and updates your maps to the latest versions. Moreover, you can receive updates on some services over-the-air and while you are on the go. However, this only applies to those who have the TomTom LIVE device. Those who don’t would need to check for updates using the app. Another thing, not all roads are updated. There are still areas—mostly new real estate developments—where it remains the same even after a few updates.
Complete management tool
If you are using a TomTom navigation device, then having TomTom Home is a must. It is a reliable and practical program designed for users to manage the content of their devices. With this app, you can always update the navigation system's firmware, maps, and routes to their latest versions.

Tom Tom nothing but problems and their customer DISservice is even worse..
I have the same problem as Anderson 6 and everyone else who updates the software. My TomTom worked fine when I first got. Then I connected to their website and downloaded the update! Huge mistake! Since then the screen jumps all around. It sends you to the nearest police station. It is distracting and dangerous. I have called customer service several times. They admit they have a problem. Evidently their progammers are too stupid to resolve the problem so they say that I don't have a warranty on it. Everyone on their blogs complains about it. Customer service said they won't fix it or give me a new one. BUT, they will give me a discount on a new. To that I said "Do you really think I would be stupid enough to buy another TomTom?" I hope they go out of business because that simply don't care. They refuse to stand behind their product.
Pros:
None
Cons:
Screen jumps all around. It scrolls through all the features. Then it routes you to the nearest police station. They know it but they won't fix it. Your are stuck with it. More

TomTom is a disgraceful product.
The maps are only right half the time. They cant get street numbering correct. Such a basic requirement. House numbers always start from the house closest to the city center. Not so with TomTom. Very difficult to read the screen during day light. Night time it is better but day time the reflection make it hard to read the screen. Touch screen i must push in with my finger nail before it will function. Mine TomTom is one of the more expensive versions XXL . Very disappointing.
Pros:
The screen is good viability at night time More

great tool.
on my third tom tom and i think they are great tools , im a trucker so it is a tool as far as i'm concerned . will not buy another tom tom though if it has that completely useless mounting that clips onto the back , i really dont know what was wrong with the old one probably changed for the sake of change but tom tom R+D should have tested it out and realised with a wider sat nav if its to the side of you you cant angle it much because the ball joint lets the side of the sat nav hit the screen after a little bit of adjustment not a prob with smaller tom tom .
