About My Vehicle
Important: Route planning for a specific camping vehicle types is available only when a camper map
is installed. If a camper map is not installed, a car route is planned instead.
My Vehicle lets you choose the type of vehicle you are driving so that the route planned by your
device is suitable for your vehicle.
Each vehicle type except Car and Camper (Light) has adjustable settings for dimensions, weight and
maximum speed. Routes planned by your device avoid restrictions for the vehicle type, and take
into account the vehicle's specific settings. The following list shows you some examples of route
restrictions:
A car with a caravan may be restricted to driving on certain roads through a city, due to its
length and width.
A route planned for a large vehicle, for example a heavy camper or RV, favours major roads,
assumes you are travelling at a lower than average speed and also selects routes without sharp
turns or low bridges.
A route calculated for a light camper van is the same as that calculated for a car because of
weight and height similarities.
Important: You must pay attention to all traffic signs, especially those relating to your vehicle’s
dimensions and weight. We cannot guarantee you will never encounter them on your route and
ignoring such restrictions can be dangerous and illegal.
Setting your vehicle type
You can set your vehicle's type and specific settings so that the route planned by your device is
suitable for your Camper or Caravan. If you want to use your TomTom GO Camper in another type of
vehicle, just change the vehicle type and settings.
Important: Some countries require a special driver's licence for larger vehicles, such as a heavy
camper weighing more than 3.5t (3500 kg) in Europe.
