Connecting a smartphone
Why do I want to connect a smartphone to my device?
If you don't have an always-connected device, connect your smartphone to your TomTom GO BASIC
to use these features:
TomTom services
Receive real-time traffic information, speed camera updates and TomTom MyDrive using your
phone’s data connection. This feature uses approximately 7 MB of data per month.
Smartphone messages
SMS and messages from other messaging apps on your smartphone appear on your TomTom GO.
Messages can be read aloud so that you can keep your eyes on the road ahead.
Connecting your phone with or without the TomTom MyDrive app
You can choose to pair your iOS or Android phone to your device using the TomTom MyDrive app or
using only Bluetooth® wireless technology.
If you connect using the TomTom MyDrive app, you can use all the features listed above. If you
connect using only Bluetooth, the smartphone messages feature will not be available.
