Dear Seamaster,

Enjoy driving LIVE abroad!

Last month we informed you of improvements to our HD Traffic Service and this month we have some more great news. Now you can also drive LIVE outside your country*. From today, your LIVE Services will also work in France, Germany, the Netherlands, Portugal and Switzerland at no additional cost!

Enjoy driving LIVE even when you cross borders!

All the best,

The TomTom-Team

I got the same email. I tried testing it out by planning a route to a few places in France and there were incidents avoided/delays included in the route on the French side. If only I had to go to Europe. Laughing

It's a pity Belgium isn't included. My usual route to anywhere in France is ferry Newcastle to Amsterdam, then down through Holland and Belgium.

Live has always shown French traffic when a route is planned/being used from UK to the continent, but only whilst you are still in the UK. I go to France on average 3/4 times a month so I'm keeping my fingers crossed Smile

I got the message delivered straight to my Live device:



Quite funny though how it reads the message out via the TTS - Mike

It is odd that all other European countries which have live services get live services in all live service countries, except for the UK who for some odd reason do not get Belgium.

Also today for the first time I saw Live Services working on a local B road where there is always congestion.

Because you've been away playing with fireworks! Have to admit it's a surprise that I haven't got either message - I've got UK & ROI only! Laughing Laughing

I've just returned from a 24hr return trip to Lyon, and inspite of having received the email, although not Mike's message, NO ROAMING. Suprise surprise. I did try rebooting a few times but still the message no coverage. At least RDS_TMC was the best it's been for some time. I suppose I'll have to contact TomTom tomorrow, although I should know better!
