GPS reception
The iPod touch, the iPad (WiFi only models), and the original iPhone do not include a GPS receiver. To use these devices for navigation, you need to connect them to a GPS accessory device.
Note: Using a GPS accessory device can also improve the accuracy of GPS in other iOS models.
When you first start the TomTom app, it may need a few minutes to find your GPS position and
show your current location on the map.
To make sure you have good GPS reception, y ou should use your device outdoors. Large objects such
as tall buildings can sometimes in terfere with reception.
Important: The TomTom app cannot give you route instructions until it has received lo c ation data.
Make sure Location Services are switched on.
If your device has no GPS reception, the TomTom app uses positioning information from WiFi
networks or mobile phone towers. This informat ion is used for route planning and to determine your
approxima te location.
Location Services
Location Services on your iOS device allow the TomTom app to use cellular, Wi-Fi and Global
Positioning System (GPS) networks to determine your location. If Location Services are turned off,
the TomTom app will not be a ble to determine your location or guide you to your destinati on.
If Locations Services are turned off you see the message Turn On Location Services to Allow
TomTom app To Determine Your Location.
To turn Location Services on, do the following:
1. Tap Settings in the Location Services message to open the iOS Location Services screen.
Tip: You can find Location Services in the iOS Settings menu in the Privacy sub-menu.
2. Tap Locat ion Services to sw itch i t ON.
3. A list of apps which use Location Services is shown. Tap TomTom app to turn it ON so it can use
Location Services.
Connecting to a car k it
If you use a TomTom Car Kit or other hands-free car kit you can hear warnings f rom the app on the
car kit using your device's Bluetooth connection. Follow the inst ructions that came with your car kit
to connect your device to your car kit.
Some car kits put the Bluetooth connection in sleep mode if a signal is not received from your
device. This can cause delays when the connection is required. To keep the Bluetooth connection
always a c tive, switch on TomTom Car Kit in t h e Sett ings menu.

Danger Zones
About danger zones
Since January 3, 2012 it has been illegal to receive warnings about the position of speed cameras
and speed traps when you are driving in France. For compliance with this change in French law,
speed camera lo cations are no longer reported but instead areas of danger are indicated as danger
zones and risk zones.
A danger zone is a zone specified by French law. A risk zone is a temporary danger zone reported by
users. TomTom Danger Zones warns you about both danger zones and risk zones in the same way.
Note: For up-to-date information about danger zones and risk zones, subscribe to the Danger
Zones Service. This service also lets you report risk zones.
Note: You cannot remove a danger zone or a risk zone.
Danger zones and risk zones may or may not contain one or more safety cameras or a range of other
