About connecting the TomTom Bridge 

The TomTom Bridge connects to the Internet so you can use the installed apps and access 

TomTom 

services

. 

The TomTom Bridge is connected in one of the following ways: 

 

With a permanent connection directly from the TomTom Bridge. The device is always connected 
- you don't have to do anything. 

 

With a connection via your smartphone. You must create a Personal Area Network to connect 
your smartphone to your TomTom Bridge. 

Note

: To update the TomTom Bridge software, use a 

Wi-Fi connection

. 

 

Smartphone connection 

Using your smartphone to connect the TomTom Bridge to a network means that data is sent and 
received by your smartphone using your mobile services provider. 

Your smartphone needs to be compatible with your TomTom Bridge, and you must have a data plan 
from a mobile services provider. Go to 

tomtom.com/connect

 for more information. 

Important

: You might have additional costs when you use your smartphone to connect your TomTom 

Bridge, especially if you are outside the area covered by your data plan. Check with your mobile 
services provider for more information. 

 

Personal Area Networks 

Your phone shares its internet connection by using the phone's Bluetooth and Personal Area Network 
(PAN) functions.   

Depending on your phone's Operating System, this network, or PAN, might be called one of the 
following names: 

 

Personal Hotspot 

 

Tethering or Bluetooth Tethering 

 

Tether or Bluetooth Tether 

The PAN function is probably already in your phone's Operating System, or you can download an app 
to create a PAN. 

Note:

 Some mobile service providers don't allow their users to use a PAN. If your phone doesn't 

have the PAN function, you should contact your service provider for more information. 

Please check the user guide for your phone if you are having trouble finding the settings. 

For more help, go to 

tomtom.com/connect

.
