About MyDrive Connect
MyDrive Connect is a desktop-based application that helps you manage the content and services of
your TomTom TRUCKER. For example, you can use MyDrive Connect to get map updates, software
updates or manage your MyTomTom account.
It is a good idea to frequently connect your TRUCKER to MyDrive Connect to ensure you always have
the latest updates.
Tip
: We recommend using a broadband internet connection whenever you connect your TRUCKER
to MyDrive Connect.
Tip
: If you have a compatible navigation device, you can also
use TomTom MyDrive
to set a
destination, share locations and favourites, and save your personal navigation information.
MyTomTom account
To download content and to use TomTom services, you need a MyTomTom account.
You can create an account using your computer in one of the following ways:
By selecting the
Create account
button at
tomtom.com
.
By selecting the green
MyTomTom
button at
tomtom.com
.
By going to
tomtom.com/getstarted
.
Alternatively you can create an account on your TRUCKER by selecting
Traffic & Speed Cameras
or
Traffic & Danger Zones
for the first time in the main menu of your navigation device. To use this
method, your TRUCKER needs to be
always connected
or connected using your phone.
Important
: Take care when choosing a country during account creation. The correct country is
needed if you make a purchase from the TomTom shop and it cannot be changed after the account
has been created.
Note
: If you have more than one TomTom navigation device in use, you need a separate account
for each device.
