Using safety preferences

You can access the Safety preferences menu via Main Menu > Change preferences/Settings.

The following safety preferences are available in this menu:

  • Hide most menu options while driving
  • Suggest driving breaks
  • Show safety reminders
  • Warn when near places of worship or schools
  • Warn when driving faster than allowed
  • Warn when driving faster than a set speed
  • Warn not to leave the device in the car

 

  1. If you select one or more of the warnings, you will also be asked to select a sound to be played whenever a warning is displayed.
  2. Select whether or not your TomTom should warn you about driving on the correct side of the road.
  3. Decide if you want the map display to be turned off in special circumstances and press Done.

 

What happens when I use the Turn off map display option?

 

When you turn off the map display, instead of seeing your position on a map in the Driving View, you will only see information about the next instruction.

Tap the button and select an option for when the map should be turned-off.

These are the options:

  • Always - The map will not be shown and you will only see information about the next instruction and arrows showing direction.
  • Above a certain speed - You set the speed at which point the map will be turned off. This option is useful for situations when the map might be distracting, such as driving at higher speeds.
  • Never - The map is never turned off.
