You have to download the Tom Tom go app. them it will try and connect through Bluetooth... You need the app first, then pair through bluetooth then with the app open it should connect...

I don't think it would be. The TomTom Go Live 820 appears to be a European mode, and this is specifically for TomTom XL models. It also has a built-in receiver that gets traffic information from certain American stations, so I don't know if that would work anywhere else.

From what I remember it had a very small, probably micro, connector. I no longer have the Tom Tom as I find Google maps/navigator on my phone much more efficient. It also stopped working after TomTom sent a download and they refused to do anything about it so I would also recommend you get a Garmin!

It works great with our Tom Tom. We used the rectangular adhesive plate on the back of the GPS- being careful not to cover the speaker area.

The data connection to your phone via Bluetooth is used to update your itinerary with current traffic conditions (and reroute if necessary/feasible). That means that if you terminate the data connection, current traffic is no longer displayed on the TomTom and not used for routing. The idea behind it is really to leave the data connection on throughout your trip. To what extent traffic conditions are factored in during initial routing (instead of live traffic conditions during the drive) I don't know. Because they are ongoing, how much data is used by the traffic updates, would depend on the length of your trip. I used the feature recently on a 1,400-mile trip, and total mobile data usage for the TomTom was 1.13 MB.

I did not hear the TomTom say street names, all I heard was you have reached your destination. But I did not change any settings or upgrade any features because there would be an additional fee.

Hello Jazz1, To get real-time traffic information on all new TomTom GO models you do indeed use your smartphone to connect to the TomTom Traffic services. To be clear, your smartphone is NOT required for navigation purposes at all, it is only used when gathering traffic information in your area. You do not need to be connected to a smartphone to use the GPS and navigation features, it's only if you want the latest traffic information while driving. Depending on your cellular provider your coverage may vary by location. However, the GO device updates the latest traffic in your area every 2 minutes. Therefore, if you happen to be driving in an area where cellular service is going in and out, you might not even notice since your device will still have the last traffic information it received and will get the latest update once your phone connects again. The GO device will provide you a picture of the traffic within a 1 hour drive, and provide you a route around it (i.e. the fastest route) whenever there is traffic between you and your destination. The GO 500 includes a lifetime subscription to TomTom Traffic so you'll never have to worry about paying for this advanced traffic service in the future. Additionally, the new GO models all come with lifetime maps getting you 4 map updates per year for the lifetime of your device. Hope this information helps! Let us know in case of other questions.

I wanted to know the same thing. Right now, I have a separate modulator that I use for my iPod that will charge it up. Problem is that I have to use two different DC outlets to do it.If the TomTom cable would charge the iPod, I could reduce it to one with the value add that the TomTom lowers the volume to make route announcements. This should have been done. A shame it was not.

I just bought the Mio c230. I've yet to use it, but it had the best combination of features in that price range. The TomTom 1 3rd edition was the easist to use, but it doesn't have text to speech, something I'm betting I'll be glad I got. After all, whatever ease you lose setting it, you gain by having the steet names spoken. I'd be interested to see what other people think.

I am afraid that I have no idea about the routes in Venezuela...that question is best directed to TomTom directly

For the TomTom Rider the one known as just "TomTom Rider" is the latest version. Once you purchase it you will need to connect it to your home computer to download and install the most recent versions of software and maps.

Connect to the website is very easy. You need to install the tomtom mysports app onto your pc. Just connect the watch to the docking station and it will auo sync. It uses mapmysports as their default site, but i config it to upload to runkeeper as well.

I have this tomtom and love it! I almost never connect it to my computer and it seems to still work fine. I have only noticed slightly longer connection and route calculating times (maybe 30 seconds) by not regularly connecting it

I used it with two different Bluetooth devices, neither of which was your device. You will get NO support from TomTom unless you're using the Cardo device supplied with the GPS (if their still doing that.) I used the Cardo and it was a good unit; however, the batteries are permanently sealed and have to be returned to have them changed. I caution you that TomTom will not repair your unit under any circumstances once it's out of warranty, and some parts are not available in the US.

it shows the time you will arrive at destination and how much time its takes to get there. i hope this helps. This the Best TomTom GPS I have ever had. very happy with it. the touch screen is fantastic.
