I recently purchased and installed the update to my refurbished TomTom 730 (also purchased from Amazon), which came with very outdated maps. The process was extremely easy, as it is done through the TomTom Home software. Just start the software, plug the unit via USB cable to the computer and, once connected, click on “use my activation code”. It takes quite a while for the update to be downloaded and installed, as the maps take up 2GB of space, but I now have fully up to date maps.
I’m not sure why some people have encountered problems doing this.

I purchased this card in the hopes of updating the map on my 2 year old Tomtom Go 510. However, after numerous attempts to activate it via tomtom home, I kept getting the message error “The activation code you entered is valid but the associated product doesn’t work with your device type or with the version of the application you have installed on it. Please install the latest version of the device application by clicking ‘Update my device’ in the main menu. Then enter your activation code again.” However, everything was fully up to date. After being on the phone with tomtom support, they had to manually activate it though a long and grueling process. If you want to avoid a long 30+ minute process in order to get this card to work, skip it and buy it from an authorized tomtom retailer or directly through them.

It should be noted that the box that I received from Amazon contains only a “download code” from the manufacturer that allows the update from their server and a brief (4 line) instruction.
The minimal instructions that were enclosed did not work. I then visited the manufacturer’s web site and tried to find a procedure that would work but that was not successful. Finally I called the customer support line and spent about 20 minutes talking with a lady who required me to forward a copy of the Amazon purchase documentation before she would help me with the installation. When she received the email and was convinced that it was legitimate then she enabled the update.
Although the GPS maps were indeed updated it was not an easy process. I would not do this again considering that I have a two year old device. It would have been better to buy a new GPS and donate the old one to someone who wouldn’t mind having 2 year old maps.

I received the product as stated and when predicted no damages but was expecting more information to be logged on the TomTom GPS, but that is only my let down thank goodness for Map Share.
