Sat Nav Trip Statistics

FreudianSlip · Apr 24, 2017

Has anyone found how to either stop the tomtom rider from recording statistics regarding your journey (planned/routed or not) or some easy way to remove them without having to factory reset the device after each run, or 'as needed' (quickly!).

It records journey time, avg mph, top speed

E), distance. I believe that the Garmin does the same too .

Aye - JimmyMac is right - its not really the where, but the how

What a bloody stupid thing to put on a sat nav with no way of resetting it... It's ok for bragging rights with your buddies, but its like taking your own blabber-mouthed buddy wherever you go.

I got a right telling off from 'er indoors when my offspring found the details and announced it. And that's about the best result I could wish for.

If the information was to fall in to the wrong hands .. </espionage mode>

Dont know about the tomtom but on the garmin the fields can be reset easily. No help whatsoever. Did you know that speeding fine maximums went up today?

I did .. which is one of the reasons why I thought I'd ask - after finding out the metrics are recorded whether you want them to be or not..

Although I do believe that 'the fuzz' are not permitted to use sat nav information as evidence unless you authorise them to (without a court order) but I'd prefer not to have the device taken from me whilst a court order arrives

I guess it's best not to speed - but its a bit easy on these things.
