Keeping your TomTom SatNav up-to-date is a crucial part of navigating today’s roads. GPS systems and maps need to keep pace with changing cityscapes, and TomTom aims to provide you with the best and most accurate navigation experience possible. This tutorial will provide you with the steps you need to follow to ensure that your TomTom SatNav is running smoothly and accurately.

The first step to updating your TomTom SatNav is to create a TomTom account. You'll need this to access the MyDrive Connect Software which will download updates and synchronise your device. Once you have an account, you will be able to link your TomTom device with your computer and check for any updates that need to be installed.

The next step is to connect your TomTom to your computer. Keep your USB cord handy and plug it into your TomTom device. Log in to your computer using the same TomTom account that you created earlier. You should now be able to view your TomTom device on the MyDrive Connect Software's homepage.

Once your device is connected, it's time to check for any updates. On the MyDrive Connect Software homepage, you'll see a 'Check for Updates' button. Click this to begin the process. The Software will then search for any new updates for your TomTom device, and once it has found any, it will list each one alongside instructions about what to do next.

Once your updates are listed, the next step is to download them. Select the updates you wish to download and click the download button. The downloads can take some time depending on the size of the update and the speed of your internet connection. Once the downloads are complete, it's time to install the updates on your SatNav.

TomTom's MyDrive Connect Software makes this easy. Click the install button and follow the instructions on the screen. Once the updates are installed, you'll need to restart both your SatNav and your computer in order to apply them. You'll now have the most up-to-date version of your TomTom SatNav software.
