Installing or updating maps on your TomTom Navigator 6 can be a simple process using your home computer. TomTom, and most other navigation systems, recommend that you install updates to your navigation system once a year. This will update new roads, as well as additional software that may be available from the manufacturer.
Instructions
1. Plug your TomTom Navigator 6 GPS directly into your computer using the USB cable that came with it.
2. Open the "TomTom Home" folder that appears on your desktop once the GPS is plugged in. You will need to confirm your subscription with TomTom using your member ID/user name and password. If you have not created one, you will be prompted to do so.
3. Click on the "Options" tab that appears within that window, then the "Download New Updates" icon. A new window will appear with a list of updates available.
4. Select the updates to install. There may be several you don't need. For instance, if you travel only in the U.S., you may not want to update Canadian maps. Click on the "Install" button once you have made your selections.
5. Allow the updates to install and then disconnect the device from your computer. The device will now be available to use with the updates.
