Downloading a new map means that TomTom has completely validated the update and incorporated into their 'official' map files.

Taking the user corrections creates another file on your TomTom where the updates are stored. I, personally, would use the "Latest Map Guarantee" to get the latest version until your 'latest map guarantee' expires.

You have 30 days from the first time you sign into TomTom HOME to get a new map using "latest map guarantee"

You have 1 year to get Map Corrections.

Good question.... However, you can REMOVE some items from the TomTom by going to the REMOVE ITEMS FROM MY ONE button.

4) is there a way to make my own custome overlays? I see that a few are offered but none apear to be in the US?

Yes, but it is a very tedious task.

You are welcome.

In TomTom Home's menu: TOOLS -> USE LATEST MAP GUARANTEE

If it comes back and says you have the latest map, then you need to call customer support.
