Hi

When you link your Smart phone, during the initial set-up process, you are asked do you want to link your Contacts list to your Tomtom device....
The device then transfers your Contact list to the device
Then each time you start up the device, your Contact list is re-synced to your device ....
I think the reason it re-syncs the Contact list each time is because there's nothing to lock your Satnav to stop a 3rd party gaining access (For example... A four character Pin code)... If someone steals your Satnav they could also steal your Contacts list ???

Not to mention your contacts can change all the time. You don't want a static copy on your sat nav.

Not sure if I am missing something here, but the replies so far don't seem to answer the OP's actual question... How to Edit/Delete the random Contacts that appear in the MyDrive app???

I have the same issue but have no idea where MyDrive 'pulls' the contacts from - Samsung Contacts list, Google Contacts (I have both on my Samsung smartphone) - or how to edit the list in MyDrive? I'm guessing MyDrive has 'chosen' or 'selected' these contacts because they are the ones which include an address, or at least a partial address, in the Contact details?
As my Tt Go Premium X can act as a voice-activated phone interface as well as a satnav, it would be useful to have access to ALL my contacts - not just those which include addresses - or none at all!

That said, how do I unlink/re-link my Contacts with the device?
