There is no Map Share box to tick in MyDrive Connect. How do I download Map Share updates on my TomTom Start 20?
I've got Europe v9.00 (expired)
A quick reply would be greatly appreciated, as I will be travelling in the next few days.
Thank you!

Hi Sbarnea
Have you configured your device to receive mapshare updates?
Main Menu-Settings-Map Corrections-The selected option should be -Corrections made by TomTom or many MapShare users
MapShare is not available for every device or every map. All devices running with map version 8.85 or higher will continue to receive Free Daily Map Changes for as long as TomTom is actively supporting the device with software, accessories, maps and other content.
All devices running with map versions earlier than 8.85 will continue to receive MapShare patches over a period of 12 months. Over time, a high volume of MapShare changes may affect the performance of the route calculation of the device and make it slow down. TomTom is committed to delivering the daily map changes in a way that minimizes this impact. This can be further avoided by updating your map periodically.
Regards
Vikram

I've selected "Corrections made by Tomtom or a few Map Share users".
Thanks for your help.
I am a fraud that the Start 20 is a model listed as obsolete. Please see below if your is affected.

The mapshare data provided is only tweaks to the latest map that was available to your unit. If you have not updated it for years then it will be well out of date. If mapshares kept your map totally up today why would you need to buy a new map.
