Sending your location and ETA
If you are late or, for example, stuck in a horrible traffic jam, wouldn't it be useful to let your
family or co-workers know about it?
Sending location and ETA lets you do just that. Before you start driving you set up a short list of
contacts, and then, when driving, you can send an SMS to your chosen contacts about your current
location, destination, and estimated time of arrival (ETA).
Important: Getting distracted while driving is dangerous. To use this feature, you must use a legally
approved hands-free calling system and connect your device to your phone. Keep your eyes on the
road and avoid hands-on interaction with your device while driving.
Note: Send location and ETA is only available for Android-based smartphones.
Adding contacts to your short list
1. Say "Hello, TomTom" to wake up voice control then say "Activate phone", or select the Phone
button.
You see a message Speak to your phone after the tone.
2. Select the Contacts button.
3. Search for a contact.
4. Toggle the setting for Add to short list to ON.
5. Select the back arrow to add more friends or family to your list.
Sending your location and ETA while driving
1. In the guidance view, select the current location symbol to open the quick menu.
2. Select Send location & arrival info.
3. Select the people in your shortlist that you want to send your location and ETA to.
4. Select Send.
Your location and ETA is sent to your chosen contacts via SMS message.
Tip: If you have a route planned, the SMS includes your current location, destination, and ETA. If
no route is planned, the SMS sends your current location.
