Connecting a smartphone

Why do I want to connect a smartphone to my device?

Connect your smartphone to your TomTom GO to use these features:

Receive real-time traffic information, speed camera updates and MyDrive using your phone’s data connection. This feature uses approximately 7 MB of data per month.

Note: Smartphone-connected devices only. Always-connected devices receive services over GPRS.

Receive and make calls on your GO. Get full access to your phone's personal assistant - Siri or Google Now. Simply tap the phone button on the GO screen.

Receive SMS and messages from other smartphone apps appear on your GO. Messages can be read aloud so that you can keep your eyes on the road ahead.

Connecting your phone with or without the MyDrive app

You can choose to pair your iOS or Android phone to your device using the MyDrive app or using only Bluetooth.

If you connect using MyDrive app, you can use all the features listed above. If you connect using only Bluetooth, the smartphone messages feature will not be available.
