Through desktop access any user can update maps, download the latest applications and other content. The one millionth registered user recorded was Jaume Baratech from Spain who will receive a TomTom GO 910 and a full-year free subscription to all of the TomTom PLUS Services. Moreover, TomTom will also be making a donation, in Jaume's name, to the Spanish Red Cross.
The success of TomTom HOME underscores the aftermarket potential for maps, content and services," said Harold Goddijn, chief executive officer, TomTom. "Since its introduction last year, TomTom users from all over the world have shown great enthusiasm for TomTom HOME -- the industry's first and most complete application to keep TomTom devices always up-to-date and personalized in an easy and smart way."

Users of the software can update their TomTom with the latest software for free, easily buy and install the latest maps and European safety cameras, download celebrity and character voices, pre-plan trip itineraries and more.
TomTom HOME offers the industry's best collection of maps, content and services, still managing to be easy to access and compatible with all the new products. Tom Tom has also recently released a GPS system that can be used as a mobile phone. The device will be displayed at this year's CeBIT.
