About TomTom services
Tip: To access settings and the status of your services quickly, select the menu bar at the top of
the main menu. In portrait mode, you can also tap the icons down the right-hand side.
Your TomTom Rider is a "Smartphone Connected" device and gets access to TomTom services using
your smartphone.
To get TomTom services on your TomTom Rider you need the following items:
A smartphone with a data plan from a mobile services provider.
The TomTom MyDrive app for iOS or Android™ installed on your smartphone.
A TomTom account.
Using TomTom services means that data is sent and received by your phone using your mobile
services provider.
Important: You might have additional costs when you use the internet on your phone, especially if
you are outside the area covered by your data plan. Check with your mobile services provider for
more information.
Note: TomTom services are not available in every country or region. For more information on
available services in each region, go to tomtom.com/services.
Traffic & Safety Cameras
TomTom services give you real-time information about traffic and safety cameras on your route.
As soon as your device has an internet connection AND you have agreed to the information and
privacy permissions, your device starts receiving traffic information and fixed safety camera and
speed trap location updates.
To see information about your Traffic and Safety Camera subscriptions, open the Help screen and
select About.
To see the status of your Traffic connection, look at the top right of the Main Menu. If your TomTom
Rider is not connected to Traffic, the Traffic symbol has an "X".
Alternatively, select the menu bar in the main menu to get quick access to service status and
settings.
Important: The Safety Cameras service isn't available in all countries. For example, in France,
TomTom offers a Danger Zone service instead, and in Switzerland, no safety camera services are
permitted at all. In Germany, you are responsible for switching the Safety Cameras service on or
off. The issue of the legality of using safety camera services in Germany and other EU countries is
not unique. You therefore use this service at your own risk. TomTom accepts no liability arising
from the use of this service.
MyDrive
MyDrive gives you control of your device by enabling you to do the following:
Select a destination on your computer, tablet, or phone and send it to your device.
