I like these bits:
Quote:
Map Share improvements:

* Map Share trust level can be set in TomTom HOME
* Improved Map Share Status Indicator for greater accuracy
Maybe now "trusted" will actually mean something.

R?

When I opened up home, it downloaded 2.4. I let it install it, but so far, I do not see any apparent changes. According to TT, it is supposed to mainly fix some bugs in 2.3.

The biggest difference is that TomTom is now offerering a subscription method (through Home 2.4) to get updated maps ....

Lots of GUI changes. Selecting a device is now a popup window in front of the main window. I noticed it now has a separate checkbox for reporting camera positions, but evidently the server to collect that data isn't up at the moment.

Operate My TomTom (previously Operate My GO) looks about the same.

Looks like the fuel price service has changed in some way; I unsubscribed from the service, but I am getting an error message that it was unable to extract the fuel type from the file. I'll look into this.

This is probly obvious but Home doesnt show anything new for my TT when connected. Is it available for NA?

Umm... try going to Help, Check for TomTom HOME Update. I'm in NA so I guarantee it's not just a Europe thing.

All is fine. Thanks for the reminder. For whatever reason I was forgetting that the update had nothing to do with the device itself.

Where can we find out more about this subscription?

I couldn't find anything on TomTom's web site.
