TomTom is one of the world leaders in global positioning system (GPS) devices, specializing in automotive and aircraft navigation units. TomTom devices come preinstalled with a map set that is current to the device you purchased. There are additional maps available for places outside of your region (Europe, Asia, Canada, Mexico) through a yearly subscription or by purchasing individual maps when you need them. Maps can be purchased or distributed through third party vendors such as Amazon but require visiting the TomTom website for an activation code.
Instructions
1. Plug your TomTom One into your personal computer using the USB cables provided when you bought your device. You can use any USB cord that has a mini connection so that it will communicate correctly with your GPS.
2. Navigate your web browser to the TomTom Home login page.
3. Log in to the TomTom Home using your ID code and password. If you have not registered previously, the TomTom Home will prompt you to register and identify your device automatically since it is already plugged in.
4. Select (left-click) "activate product" to enable your USA 8.25 maps. If you have not already purchased or installed the maps, it will take you to a cart screen where you may purchase the latest maps.
5. Select (left-click) each map from the USA 8.25 set that you wish to install to your TomTom One device. The TomTom One has a limited memory and will quickly fill up unless you are specific about which maps you install and activate.
6. Left-click "Install Now" to begin the transfer process. This will take several minutes depending on how many maps you have chosen to install.
