Update your device-account combination |
If you connect an "unknown" TomTom navigation device to HOME that is not linked to the TomTom account you are logged in with, you are asked to update your device-account combination. This can happen if you own more than one navigation device or connect a device to your computer that belongs to someone else such as a friend or a family member. A message appears which says The device that is connected to your computer is not linked to the TomTom account you are logged in with. This is because only ONE device can be linked to each MyTomTom account at a time. Note: If you own more than one navigation device, we recommend you create a separate MyTomTom account for each one. There are various options for you to choose from at this point depending on your situation.
Warning: If you choose Link the new device to your TomTom account, this action cannot be undone and any services you may have (e.g. traffic, downloadable maps etc.) are transferred to this newly linked device and you will NOT be able to use your services with your other device any more! Also you can only change the device linked to your account ONCE every six months so you cannot change your device back again quickly if you realize you've made a mistake. In this situation, we recommend you create a new account for the device, even if it is only occasionally connected to your computer. This will avoid you accidentally transferring your services to it. Tip: If you choose Link the new device to your TomTom account, HOME gives you a warning to make sure your choice was intentional.
