GPS reception The iPod touch, the iPad (Wi- Fi only models), and the original iPhone do not include a GPS recei v- er.

Important: The TomTom app cannot give you route instructions until it has received locatio n data. Make sure Location Services are switched on. If your device has no GPS reception, the TomTom app uses positioning information from WiFi networks or mobile phone towers. This information is used for route planning and to determine your approximate location. Location Services Location Services on your iOS device allow the TomTom app to use cellular, Wi- Fi and Global Positioning System (GPS) networks to determine your location. If Location Services are turned off, the TomTom app will not be able to determine your location or guide you to your destination.
