First, find the USB cable needed to connect your Tomtom unit to your computer. Go to the Tomtom update page (link provided below), download and install the software on your computer, and follow the update instructions on that page (about halfway down the page). MyDrive Connect Update your GPS
If your TomTom GPS model number (when you originally purchased it new) is shown with an "M" ... e.g. GO 730M ... it indicates that the TomTom GPS unit you'd purchased includes free lifetime maps (updates) just for the map included in that unit, e.g. USA and Canada. If it shown with a T, e.g. GO 730TM ... it indicates that it also includes traffic data.
When you register the unit (on the TomTom website), and you log in to the TomTom website (using the TomTom HOME or MyDrive Connect), it will (automatically) tell you if/when you have an updated version of the map to download, to replace the current one on your device.
Make sure that you are using the latest version of MyDrive Connect.
Connect your navigation device to your computer and switch on your device.
MyDrive Connect starts and automatically checks if a newer version of your map is available. If you are entitled to the Latest Map Guarantee, MyDrive Connect offers you the latest map.
Click Continue and follow the on-screen instructions to download and install the available map.
Once the installation is complete, the installation screen will close and you are re-directed to the My Content page. Also, the status in MyDrive Connect changes to Connected.
When you see the MyDrive Connect icon on your computer and the message on your navigation device that the installation has completed, disconnect your navigation device from your computer.
On the GPS itself go to: Home location
Tap this button to set or change your Home location. You enter the address in the same way as you do when you plan a route.
Your Home location provides an easy way to plan a route to an important location.
For most people, your Home location will be your home address. How-ever, you might prefer to set the location to another regular destination,such as your workplace.
