Did you know that you can set your TomTom to remind you of different safety precautions while on your trip?

It’s actually pretty easy, here’s how:

Start by accessing the Safety preferences menu via Main Menu > Change preferences.

Tap this icon to set the following safety preferences:

• If you select one or more of the warnings, you will also be asked to select a sound to be played whenever the warnings are displayed.

• Next, you have the option of selecting whether or not your TomTom should warn you about driving on the correct side of the road, depending on what country you are visiting.

• Select an option for Turn Off Map Display, then press Done

I know what you’re thinking. “Wait, why would I want to turn off the map display? Isn’t that the whole point?” Well, when the map display is off, instead of seeing your position on the map in the Driving View, you will only see information about the next instruction. If you find the map view distracting or unsafe, you might consider using this option.

These are all of the available options for Turn Off Map Display:

• 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.
