Setting your vehicle type

You can set your vehicle's type and specific settings so that the route planned by your device is suitable for your Camper or Caravan. If you want to use your TomTom GO Camper in another type of vehicle, just change the vehicle type and settings.

Important: Some countries require a special driver's licence for larger vehicles, such as a heavy camper weighing more than 3.5t (3500 kg) in Europe.

1. Select Settings in the Main Menu, then select My Vehicle.

   

   The My Vehicle screen is shown.

2. Select Vehicle Type then select Camper (Heavy/Light) or Car with caravan from the list shown.

   

   Important: The main difference between the Camper (Heavy) and Camper (Light) vehicle types is the gross weight. A heavy camper weighs more than 3.5t (3500 kg) and a light camper weighs less than 3.5t (3500 kg). For more information, see My Vehicle.

3. Read the Your Safety information then select OK.
4. The My Vehicle screen is shown with the settings for your chosen vehicle type.

   

   Select each setting and enter the correct value for your vehicle type. If a setting will not be a route restriction, for example Maximum Speed, set it to zero.

   Important: Settings that are set at zero are not used to determine restrictions when a route is planned.

5. Return to the map view and plan a route.

   A route is planned that avoids route restrictions applicable to your vehicle.

You can find an alternative route or change the route type for all types of vehicles, taking into account the vehicle's specific settings.
