Tomtom Download Maps

I'm really tired of Apple Maps. I regularly see errors on Apple Maps. So I go to Tomtom Maps Share to correct these errors. Everything happens very quickly on Tomtom. On the other hand, for some time I have not noticed any updates to the maps on Apple (the oldest report dates from September 2021...). It's to ask if Apple does it on purpose! Either Apple has a problem updating its maps with Tomtom data or Apple no longer updates its maps. I don't know what to do anymore, because I have already sent several emails and nothing changes.

Azure Maps lights up a multitude of location scenarios for Microsoft. Azure customers now have native support ranging from building map-based dashboards to visualize IoT spatial analytics to mobility scenarios for vehicle movement. For example, in agriculture, customers can easily track utilization of farm sensors for crops, livestock, tractors and more to optimize production. Using the Azure Maps routing services powered by TomTom allows for insightful distribution of goods originating from farmlands to retail, restaurants and home delivery. Using the freshest maps and traffic information can determine delivery range, optimize delivery routes and provide customer insights into delivery status.

The disposable GPS?

Back in 2010, I tried to update my then two-year-old TomTom 920. It was the second TomTom I'd owned, a high-end model. It worked perfectly fine, but the maps were out-of-date. I was ready to purchase new maps, but as it turned out, there was no way to get them into the device.

Update woes continue on new devices

The new unit worked fine and had some nice features my older unit didn't have. It was joined by a second unit for our other car, a TomTom 1535 Top Gear edition at the end of 2011. It also had some great features. All was well with both units until I decided in May that I should heed the reminders that both where giving me, to update my maps.

Well, why not? Both units came with lifetime maps. But updating turned into a nightmare that I mentioned briefly in a previous column. I had trouble getting either unit seen by my Mac or PC laptops. As it turned out, the TomTom XL required use of TomTom Home software; the TomTom 1535 used a web-based updated. I also needed to have a separate TomTom account for each one.

Sigh. Eventually, I did get the TomTom 1535 connected, and it told me it was all up-to-date. TomTom support reassured me it was. But the pester messages from the device itself to update my maps continued, so I tried again when I had time in September. My lifetime map update code for the unit was suddenly showing as invalid. Back to support, which reassured me all was fine.

This week, things clearly were not fine. The unit still gave pester messages and now was simply acting strangely. So, I hunkered down to finally resolve things. I plugged in the 1535, got connected and was again given no option to update my maps other than to buy them. My lifetime update status wasn't registering despite TomTom now having told me twice that it was associated with my account.

It's bad enough that I and others have to even seek help on something that should be a simple task of plugging in our GPS units to update them with fresh maps. But when we do, at least it would be nice if the support team showed some degree of actual support on its end and didn't confuse things with confusing responses.

Eventually, I gave up trying to update through my Mac. I unplugged, fired up my Windows 8 laptop and started the process again. After three hours, the maps themselves still hadn't downloaded. It wasn't an issue with my internet connection. Everything else was streaming through the interwebs just fine. TomTom just appeared to be pushing the maps out very slowly.

Since my Mac had the maps already downloaded, I started the process afresh there before going to sleep. At this point, I just assumed the installation process must take forever. I could see plenty of complaints in TomTom's official forums about this.

Back to Windows. I plugged in there, started the map download process and was pleased that finally, the new maps came down quickly. Then the install process fired up and surprise, that actually completed. In the end, all I needed to do to update my map was a day of time and two laptops.

There's gotta be a better way, and smartphones may be it

It shouldn't be like this. When my first TomTom had issues, I figured it was just a strange, one-off thing. I wasn't happy that I effectively had to trash a perfectly good unit, but I moved on. To have troubles with three units in total? That's unacceptable. I or anyone shouldn't have to try different operating system and cross our fingers and toes in hopes that we can update our maps.

I could have done the same with Apple Maps, too. Both major smartphone platforms, iOS and Android, have native GPS capabilities. There's no need for painful map downloads with them. The maps are always up-to-date.

I dusted off the Nuvi today. I'd been planning to sell it on Amazon, since I preferred TomTom interface. But with my TomTom woes, I thought I'd hang on to it. It came with lifetime maps, so I went to update those.

My boss has literally asked me to migrate maps back to the old version because of this silly legal requirement. Please find a way to downgrade the font size or something to minimize it. If a map is configured to be a small size the footer covers up to 1/3 of the area.

What old version? Azure Maps has had this for over 5 years (the platform is less than 6 year sold). The Power BI version of Azure Maps has always had this copyright and feedback area since it was released as a preview. Note that is only 20 pixels tall. I believe there is plans to expose the option to hide the logo and feedback button, but copyright text will always appear as it's a legal requirement for both Microsoft and users of the maps. If you are using Power BI and you meant the older maps visual, it's still there and a single click to switch over.

My guess is that they were using the Filled Map within PowerBI. When using the Filled Map Visualization, a message pops up every time I open my pbix file telling me there is a forced change to Azure map this year. As of now, the Azure map is way inferior to the current Filled Map in PowerBI when it comes to filled maps. Please see my post: -change-from-Filled-Map-to-Azure-Map-If-so-when-will-this/m-p/3391332

"This collaboration is an important step for TomTom," said Willem Strijbosch, head of Autonomous Driving at TomTom. "Combining our highly accurate HD maps with NVIDIA's self-driving car platform will enable us to propose new features to automakers faster, and therefore to make autonomous driving a commercial reality sooner."

Members of the Overture Maps Foundation will create maps that incorporate information from a range of sources, including their own systems as well as external providers. The consortium will make the maps it develops available at no charge under an open-source license.

The Overture Maps Foundation expects to release its first set of maps in the first half of 2023. They will include essential information such as building and road details. Over time, the consortium plans to develop more accurate maps that will contain additional types of data.

Every time a road is split on an attribute change, its original ID gets removed and the new section gets added with a new ID. Changing IDs make maps unreliable and it creates extra work for developers to account for these continual changes. Sectioning road networks like this creates lots of small segments, excess data, which impacts the performance of any product or service built on the map.

In late 2015, TomTom extended its deal with Apple and signed a new contract with Uber, in which Uber driver app uses TomTom maps and traffic data in 300 cities worldwide.[21] In May 2018, TomTom launched new portable navigation device the TomTom Go Camper to cater for the requirements of caravan and motorhome users.[22]

Until 1996, TomTom developed business-to-business applications such as meter reading and bar-code reading for handheld devices, such as Palm Pilot, Compaq iPaq and Psion Series 5.[25] Subsequently, the company moved its focus to PDA software for the consumer market.[26] Early mapping software included EnRoute, Citymaps and Routeplanner.[27]

TomTom as a company offers three types of products in different shapes and forms: maps, connected services and (navigation) software. TomTom Navigation devices (PNDs) and TomTom GO navigation apps are sold directly or indirectly to end-consumers. In-dashboard systems are released for the automotive market. The navigation devices and portable devices with installed software are referred to as units.[55]

TomTom units provide a flying interface with an oblique bird's-eye view of the road, as well as a direct-overhead map view. They use a GPS receiver to show the precise location and provide visual and spoken directions on how to drive to the specified destination. Some TomTom systems also integrate with mobile phones using Bluetooth, traffic congestion maps or to actually take calls and read SMS messages aloud.

Navigation software for several mobile phones was discontinued after release 5.2; Navigator, which does not support all the phones that Mobile did, is the nearest equivalent. Mobile 5.2 cannot use maps later than v6.60 build 1223; this and earlier program versions are not compatible with all map versions, particularly other builds of version 6.

Despite being based on the cross-platform XULRunner, TomTom Home lacks support for Linux.[65] It is, for instance, impossible to update the maps in these devices by connecting them to another machine running Linux, even when using a common web browser like Firefox that normally allowed such an update under Microsoft Windows. However, the devices can still be read in a Linux OS as a disk drive. There is even software made by the community to manage some functions of the TomTom.[66] ff782bc1db
