About updates and new items

A red exclamation mark in the Settings button shows you that updates or new items are available.

Tip: You may also be offered a system software update when you add a new map.

The following updates or new items can be offered:

System software updates

A System software update is a software update for the device itself. You see an explanation about why the update is required and which features are changing or being added, if any.

If you have not used your device for a long time, you may get asked to install a required software update when you use your device again. If you don't install the update, the following issues can occur:

• Your device cannot be told about any updates and no further updates would be possible.
• Your device cannot show the details of the required software updates, for example, size, version, etc.
• Your device cannot add or delete any maps.

Map updates

When a map update is offered, install it as soon as possible so that you always drive with the latest map.

The existing map is deleted before the map update is installed. If you cancel a map update then you will no longer have the map on your TomTom GO Camper. If this happens, go to Maps in the Settings menu and download the map again.

Map Share updates

These updates are created from changes made and shared by other TomTom users and contain the following changes or updates:

• Speed limits
• Street names
• Recently blocked and unblocked roads
• Traffic directions
• Turn restrictions

For more information, see Map Share.

Speed Camera updates

When a Speed Camera update is offered, you can choose which countries on your map you want to update.

Voices

You may also be offered new voices as an update.
