About TomTom services
TomTom services give you real-time information about traffic and speed cameras on your route. To
get TomTom services on your Trucker you need to be logged in to a TomTom account.
The way you connect your Trucker to TomTom services depends on your navigation device. A
Trucker can connect in one of the following ways:
With a permanent connection directly from your Trucker. These navigation devices are called
'Always Connected' devices.
With a connection via your smartphone. These devices are called 'Smartphone Connected'
devices.
Check tomtom.com/connect for more information.
Note: Some TomTom services might not be available in your current location.

Using TomTom services means that data is sent and received by your phone using your mobile
services provider.

you are outside the area covered by your data plan. Check with your mobile services provider for
more information.
