When you first switch on your TomTom VIA, you have to answer a few questions to set it up. Answer
the questions by touching the screen.
GPS reception
When you first start your TomTom VIA, it may need a few minutes to determine your position. In
future, your position will be found much faster.
To ensure good satellite reception, use your VIA outdoors and keep it upright. Large objects such as
tall buildings can sometimes interfere with reception.
Important: QuickGPSfix contains information about satellite positions which helps your VIA find your
position faster. QuickGPSfix information is sent to Always Connected devices in real time and to
Smartphone Connected devices when connected to TomTom services using your smartphone. You
can also update QuickGPSfix using MyDrive.
Sending information to TomTom
When you first start navigating or you have reset your VIA, your VIA asks for permission to collect
some information about your use of the navigation device. The information is stored on your VIA until
we retrieve it. We use it anonymously to improve our products and services. If you use our services,
we will also use your location information to deliver the services to you.
You can change whether you send this information with us at any time by doing the following:
1. In the Main Menu, select the Settings button.
2. Select System.
3. Select Your information & privacy.
4. Select the button to turn sending of information on or off.
Note: If you choose not to send location information to us, you will no longer receive our services.
This is because services need to send the location of your device to TomTom in order to receive the
traffic information related to where you are. The end date of your subscription remains the same,
even if you do not send this information to us.
You can find current and more detailed information at tomtom.com/privacy.
