Are map updates also based on live traffic data?

TomTom traffic information has for years been worthless in low traffic areas, not giving you even the most important information about closed roads. Now I am getting worried that even map updates are based on live traffic data. Maps in cities gets updated, while maps on the countryside gets more and more outdated.

    Hi @farnol

    The traffic is a layer of information over the navigation maps used on TomTom PND's.

    Both are completely different projects, maps updates are rolled out as quarterly updates while traffic data is real-time information displayed when the device is connected to TomTom Services.

    Why doesn't TomTom update their maps then?

    This is the reality since September 2018, and yes it is E6:

    This is my fully updated TomTom Go 6000 today, 5 updates later: 18r1qssbh349.jpg

    This, by the way, is MapShare. Still lots of errors, but at least the roundabout is there: 6djyb2vvqg5c.png
