This includes speed limits, directional changes, blockages, or recent restrictions, creating a more comprehensive navigation system. TomTom explained that the older devices were unable to use the latest map updates due to a lack of memory space. If you have several maps installed you can delete maps to free up space, but you always need to have at least one map installed on your device. Once the installation of MyDrive Connect has completed, a pop-up will ask you to confirm the settings. Voice prompts are very clear, although the XL IQ Routes Edition can’t read out road names as the Go Live models can.

If your map version is not the latest map version available, check the overview of map release dates below to find out the age of your map. Make sure you don’t disconnect your navigation device from the computer until both the device and MyDrive Connect says that the update has been completed.
