go 6200 wifi connectioen

go 6200 connection for example wifi in hotel, it connects when access code is asked for and put the code in, it does not connect when the hotel wifi just needs your "YES" just to agree to the hotel conditions. There is no opportunity to put your Yes in a box

Hi
@janali

I would NEVER try to update a GPS (Or any other Software Update) using a Hotel Wi-Fi
I would always update at Home at least a week beforehand or NOT update it at all until I returned Home....
With some of the Maps 8GB in size and the appalling Hotel Wi-Fi Speed and Signal strength/Signal quality it's almost a guaranteed recipe for disaster

Tomtom recommend a minimum Wi-Fi download speed of 30Mbps
Tomtom NAV5 (Wi-Fi) devices will only connect to a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network

You need internet connection to synchronize the routes in my drive with your tomtom. Safe or not

Hi @janali

You don't need to log your GO6200 into Wifi in order to get a Route sent from a PC or the My Drive App on a Phone. Your unit has an Inbuilt Mobile Sim and it will receive the route via that facility. It just takes a little longer.

Should you ever need to do a factory Reset of the Device once you have set it up and it has logged into your account it can use the Mobile Sim to sync all the My places, Poi and Route files on your account if you have no Wifi available at the time.
