If I remember right, you'll get an email each time a new database is created (or you'll see it on the homepage here). Just redownload it and overwrite all the files on your TomTom. That's it. Whether you put all the files on or just certain ones (I usually don't use the mobile ones since there's so many of them it's constantly chirping at me) is up to you.

You can download as many times as you want in the year, it's up to you.

Welcome to the forum, if you go to This page and scroll to the bottom click the hyperlink that says "Watch this thread for replies" you will then get an e-mail as the thread is updated.

Updates are usually every Wednesday, but there are occasions that the odd week is missed out due to other commitments, so best bet is to download it every Wednesday night to ensure you have the latest set of data on the device. An update will not require any changes to the settings in the device, you simply copy the new files to the curent map folder where they replace the old ones - Mike

But understand that when you do get the email, you MUST click on the link it contains to go view the page again, otherwise the emails will stop.
