TomTom looking to the future and offering weekly maps updates

TomTom has revealed that the new updates of its global base of maps will now be done weekly – allowing users to access maps four times faster than ever before.

Available for all TomTom customers, the update of the MultiNet-R maps is the largest update so far on TomTom maps – and helps the Dutch brand further cement its place as an industry leader in the sat-nav market.

Generally maps are updated quarterly, but TomTom has gone even further, first with its monthly update and now with weekly updates.

Alain de Taeye , a member of TomTom’s board of directors, said “by offering weekly map updates, TomTom enables customers to improve the quality of their applications by having the most up-to-date map data. It is also an important step to continue providing the quality required to support autonomous driving in the future.“
