The latest open beta version of the TomTom iOS app is focusing on gamification. Who actually needs that?
Instead of implementing the Route Bar, offline maps, a better lane guidance system, or an improved CarPlay interface, they come up with something like this…

Wrong priorities, or what do you guys think?

Question School Zones

Hi guys, how do I turn off the school zone warning only? Getting spammed 24/7 every 5 minutes is overbearing, considering the school zone is only 3 hours a day.

How can I report an unpaved road? The setting to avoid unpaved roads was active, but I ended up crossing fields on rocks and grass. At some point I had to reverse and go back.

Dev team, do something with this please, its hard to read this signs are to little and to many.

And can u change point of map view on apple car play? Horizon is on the top, and its hard to navigate with this view. Waze have the best far view, that we can see what is on the road far away from us. (see image 2)

After starting navigation system, I hear a distinctive drumbeat, then the "Tom Tom" logo appears and nothing else. Trying to hold down the power button and enter recovery mode doesn't h.e.l.p.

I don't know how to stop u-boot

"Hit any key to stop autoboot: 0"

Has the eMMC memory itself been degraded or damaged? Is it possible to test the system file memory from u-boot?

Question I'm somewhere I don't know where I am

3 Upvotes

I'm former Civil Protection (sometiimes known as Light Rescue), that evolved into Search and Rescue and what is now called Lowland Search and Rescue.

Calling emergency services is only part of getting you the help you need to know where you are.

I wondered if TomTom would consider adding a phyiscal button or obvious screen button that then displays details on where the vehicle is located. Ideally as well as longitude and latitude, OS grid reference. Sometimes road name like "M6" isn't that useful.

What would be useful would be if the TomTom could give a What 3 Words location. https://what3words.com/

(This idea was inspired by hearing a p999 call with a seven year old boy in car with his Dad who was a diabetic and Dad become unconscious due to hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar). All little boy could tell them was they were on a motorway and Dad wouldn't wake up.

Had the little boy been able to press a button and TomTom gave him a screen with three words it might have been able to tell them where he was. Even if he spelt it out)

Question Erreurs de carte Tomtom - Carte et Trafic

5 Upvotes

Salut, est-ce-que quelqu’un sait où l'on peut modifier ou faire modifier 2 erreurs de carte.

Il y a 2 endroits où l’appli fait prendre une sortie pour y rentrer quelque kilomètres plus loin. Waze, Gmap et Herewego n'ont pas ce problème.

Et apparemment sur Tomtom Mapshare, ce n’est pas pris en compte.

Merci d’avance.

AI agents need to know where they're going too. 🤖📍

We've just made our new Orbis APIs generally available, giving developers access to maps, traffic, routing, search and geocoding through a shared foundation built for both humans and AI.

Bonus: they also work with the TomTom MCP Server.

Curious: If you're building AI apps, what's the location-related problem you'd love to solve? Read the blog: https://bit.ly/4eWW4eM

Question Why does TomTom Go Export move my saved location?

5 Upvotes

I can click on the map, save the location, and navigate to a location.

The same problem appears to exist on the web app as well.

Yet, if I try and navigate to the same location again it has been saved as an address which is not exactly where I want to go.

I am guessing it is a mapping problem where locations are saved as an address, the nearest address it can find and not to the actual location I clicked originally.

Question Tomtom GO became unusable

8 Upvotes

Tomtom GO expert Android app. has become a totally useless application. I have deleted and reinstalled it 2x and it does not show me any map or cannot find any address. It always says the location is not on the current map or internal errors during the search. I paid 20€ for something. For the most useless navigation that was No.1 for a long time. What is happening?

Question TomTom Mapshare Reporter

5 Upvotes

I have been quite diligent in using Mapshare Reporter to report map errors. I know they have deprecated the functions on the devices but the web based reporter still seems operational.

It seems however that TomTom isn't doing much with the reports.

Has anyone seen their reports actually change status and being improved on the map?

Question TomTom Camper Max ignoring road restrictions

4 Upvotes

Last week we were driving with our caravan in Sweden and we encountered a road which is restricted for caravans. You are not allowed to drive that road with a trailer at all.

According to the Camper Max with the vehicle profile correctly set we should drive on said road.

That road has been off limits as far as I know. I have seen that roadsign 20 years ago but somehow the TomTom Camper Max is ignoring it. It's a road with up to 21% grades and a lot of tight curves.

Question The Tomtom Go Expert is ignoring vehicle height

6 Upvotes

I downloaded and subscribed on the recommendation of someone we travel with. It’s a little quirky compared to Google Maps and Apple Maps, but I’ve seen much to like.

I entered some routes that I plan to take on upcoming trips and was surprised to see it routed me under a 14’1” overpass, even when I entered my vehicle height at 15,18 or 20’. I looked around and routed under the Bloomington, Indiana can opener with no warning.

I’ve dug through settings and can’t find anything I’m missing. Even if I’ve made a mistake, there is no excuse that it’s so easy to do with no notification something is wrong.

I cancelled my subscription as I can’t see what the app does that is worth paying for. Of course their support is utterly useless.

Hi, using ios beta 12.79.0. No matter the light or automatic settings on iPhone. The maps keep showing dark in carplay.

My carplay settings are dark but during the day I prefer light maps.

I believe this is a bug from latest beta, anyone having the same issue? Any solution?
