Reporting a risk zone

If you pass a new temporary risk zone that you were not warned about, you can report it instantly.

Note: To report a risk zone, you must be connected to TomTom services and logged in to your

MyTomTom account.

If a new temporary risk zone is reported directly before or after an existing risk or danger zone,

then the new zone is added to the existing zone.

If enough Danger Zones users report a new risk zone, that zone may become a danger zone and be

available for all subscribers.

You can report a risk zone in two ways:

Using the quick menu to report a risk zone

1. Select the current location symbol or the speed panel in the guidance view.

2. Select Report Risk Zone from the pop-up menu.

You see a message thanking you for adding the risk zone.

Tip: If you make a mistake when reporting a risk zone, select Cancel in the message.

The risk zone is saved on your TRUCKER automatically and also sent to other users. A reported risk

zone stays on your device for three hours.

Using the Main Menu to report a risk zone

1. Select the Main Menu button to open the Main Menu.

2. Select Report Risk Zone.

You see a message thanking you for adding the risk zone.

Tip: If you make a mistake when reporting a risk zone, select Cancel in the message.

The reported risk zone is shown on your map and also sent to other users. A reported risk zone stays

active for three hours.

Updating locations for danger zones and risk zones

The locations of danger zones and risk zones can change frequently. New zones can also appear

without warning.

Your TomTom TRUCKER receives all zone updates in real time. You do not need to do anything to

receive updates – they are sent to your TRUCKER automatically.
