About MyDrive Connect

MyDrive Connect is a desktop-based application that helps you manage the content and services of
your TomTom Rider. For example, you can use MyDrive Connect to get map updates, software
updates or manage your TomTom account.
You can also manage your the devices associated with your account using MyDrive Connect.
Note: You can associate up to ten TomTom devices with one TomTom account.
It is a good idea to frequently connect your Rider to MyDrive Connect to ensure you always have the
latest updates.
Important: On device models START 42/52, START 40/50/60, and GO 51/61, the screen intentionally
dims when you connect your device to your computer.
Tip: We recommend using a broadband internet connection whenever you connect your Rider to
MyDrive Connect.

destination, share locations and favorites, and save your personal navigation information.
