Regional availability
Note: You can use TomTom services when traveling abroad, but when planning a route you need
to consider that not all services are available in all countries.
Connection to Danger Zones
Your Danger Zones service is constantly being updated unless the connection to the TomTom server
is lost.
This symbol in the Driving View indicates that the service is not currently
receiving Danger Zones updates from the TomTom server.
Your Danger Zones service may not be receiving updates due to one or more of the following reasons:
Your service has expired.
Data services is switched off in TomTom services in the Settings menu.
The service is not available in your area.
Danger Zone warning
When you are approaching a zone, a zone alert symbol appears in the
Driving View, a small symbol appears on your driving route, and you hear a
warning sound. The distance to the zone is shown above the zone alert
symbol.
The warning sound you hear depends on whether you are currently exceeding the speed limit or not.
Report a risk zone
Note: All temporary zones that are reported appear as Risk Zones when you are driving.
If you enter a temporary risk zone and do not receive a warning you can
report it by tapping the Risk Zone report button in the top left corner of the
Driving View. Your report is sent to TomTom and, once validated, shared
with all TomTom Danger Zone subscribers.
A reported temporary risk zone stays in the TomTom Danger Zones app for three hours.
If a new temporary risk zone is reported directly before or after an existing risk or danger zone, the
new zone is added to the existing zone.
If enough subscribers report a new zone, that zone may become a danger zone and be available for
all subscribers.
