About MyDrive Connect
MyDrive Connect is a desktop-based application that helps you manage the content and services of
your TomTom GO Basic. For example, you can use MyDrive Connect to get map updates, software
updates or manage your TomTom account.
You can also manage your the devices associated with your account using MyDrive Connect.
Note: You can associate up to ten TomTom devices with one TomTom account.
It is a good idea to frequently connect your TomTom GO to MyDrive Connect to ensure you always
have the latest updates.
Important: On device models START 42/52, START 40/50/60, and GO 51/61, the screen intentional-
ly dims when you connect your device to your computer.
Tip: We recommend using a broadband internet connection whenever you connect your TomTom
GO to MyDrive Connect.
Tip: If you have a compatible navigation device, you can also use TomTom MyDrive to set a
destination, share locations and favourites, and save your personal navigation information.
TomTom account
To download content and to use TomTom services, you need a TomTom account.
You can create an account using your computer in one of the following ways:
 By selecting the Create account button at tomtom.com.

for each device.
