TomTom Map Share

My friend Mario had a little idea some time ago. We should be able to update the maps in our GPS devices and share the updates with other users. Being a devil's advocate, I asked him how would he get accurate information? The talk went on and eventually we diverged to another subject.
But I have to admit that it was a pretty good idea.

Well, it looks like TomTom thinks it is a good idea. Here you can read a nice description of the process. Unfortunately, it looks like you cannot share your changes directly with other users. Everything must get the green-light of TomTom. And the scope of changes is a little limited:

• (un)Block a street
• Reverse driving direction
• Change a street name
• Add a missing Point Of Interest (POI)
• Change a Point Of Interest (POI)

But I hope this is just the beginning, and in future versions you can change more things.

And I expect some hacker finds a way to share your changes directly with a friend really soon...
