The internal flash memory or the memory card content of the device cannot be accessed through USB for security reasons modified applications would easily accept a map that wasn't sold by TomTom. The support app is nothing more than a proxy on the PC buffering the download. So far the security achieved using this mechanism has not been broken yet. A traffic monitoring service that uses multiple sources to provide traffic information.
The service does this by combining data from:. The information is merged by TomTom and algorithms are used to improve the data and filter out anomalous readings. The system sends updates to all TomTom Traffic users every two minutes and the data the users receive is never older than 30 seconds. Users can receive the service through the built-in SIM, via a smartphone connection or on older devices via a standard phone connection.
Re-routing can be set to be transparent to the user with the only sign that the route has been changed due to a traffic jam being a sound indication from the device and a changed ETA. The system was first launched in the Netherlands in and expanded to the United Kingdom, France, Germany and Switzerland in As of , the service is vastly expanded and current coverage is available on the TomTom Traffic site 34 countries As of June and the list expands every few months to new regions.
The company offers fee-based services under the name TomTom Plus stylized TomTom PLUS , which include services to warn drivers about speed cameras, provide weather updates, change voices and provide traffic alerts.
Currently, the fees are only for European countries. Traffic data is also available to subscribers in many parts of Europe and the US via a Bluetooth -enabled cell phone with Internet service or an add-on aerial, which picks up RDS data broadcast on FM radio frequencies offering traffic information without the requirement for a data connection. These allowed users to receive updates over the mobile telephone network using the SIM card in the device.
On 12 May , TomTom announced that it was offering up its real-time traffic products to "industry partners" in the United States. On the latest NAV4 devices the service is not available anymore in the old form. The speed camera service is free for three months on these models. Map Share is a proprietary map technology launched by TomTom in June Map Share allows users to make changes to the maps on their navigation devices and share them with others.
It allows drivers to make changes to their maps directly on their navigation devices. Drivers can block or unblock streets, change the direction of traffic, edit street names and add, edit or remove points of interest POIs.
Improvements can be shared with other users through TomTom Home, TomTom's content management software. Newer TomTom devices use this data to take into account the time and day when determining the fastest route. Travel time data is stored in Historical Speed Profiles, one for each road segment, covering large motorways, main roads and also small local roads. Historic Speed Profiles are part of the digital map and are updated with every new map release. They give insight into real-world traffic patterns.
In September , map upgrade v8. TomTom worked with auto parts manufacturer Bosch, starting in , [66] to develop maps for use in self-driving vehicles.
Bosch defined the specifications for TomTom maps to follow as they began first road-tests on U. TomTom commented at the time on the contrast in details required in those newly developed maps compared with earlier versions, specifically including "precision to the decimeter" and other complex data required to help a self-driving car "see" key road features as it travels.
Together the companies have worked to integrate TomTom maps and traffic data across the ridesharing app's platform. As part of the MEP program, users provide feedback on road conditions as they encounter them so that live maps can be updated to reflect current conditions. The program estimates 3 million edits monthly by its partners globally. In January Apple confirmed that it was no longer licensing data from TomTom and would rely on its own underlying Maps app framework going forward after a recent app update at the time.
The Volvo XC90 included custom sensing equipment to provide data about the vehicle's surroundings that could be referenced against TomTom's HD maps. TomTom crowdsourced camera data through its partnership with Hella Aglaia, announced in September , to feed into its real-time map updates for ongoing improvement to the new HD maps technology.
In early , TomTom publicly announced the recent closing of a deal with Huawei Technologies where Huawei would use TomTom's maps, data, and navigation tools to develop its own apps for use in Chinese smartphones. TomTom has collected a range of live and historical data since , [76] analysing data from a variety of sources including connected devices and its community of users.
In April , TomTom "apologized for supplying driving data collected from customers to police to use in catching speeding motorists". In , TomTom improved the clarity of its explanation of how it uses the data it collects from its customers. The privacy implications of this announcement were widely reported, particularly the lack of anonymity and the potential to associate the data with individuals. The company's practice of selling its user data has been criticised by Electronic Frontiers Australia.
David Vaile of the University of New South Wales' Cyberspace Law and Policy Centre has called for an independent technical analysis of the company's data collection practices. TomTom navigation devices collect user data that includes point of origin, point of destination, journey times, speeds and routes taken.
The Australian Privacy Foundation said it would be easy to trace the data back to individual customers, even if TomTom claimed it used only aggregated, anonymous data. In addition to this, he said TomTom never sold the information to Dutch authorities with speed cameras in mind, although Kearney would not rule out selling the user data for similar use in Australia.
