Very disappointed that the GO Comfort gets traffic info from my cellphone. Why not just use my phone as a GPS instead? Also read all the terrible reviews for the MyDrive app and decided not to install it. Very disappointed in TomTom right now.

    Hi
    @jdsnaker
    Welcome to the site....
    Here in Europe the Tomtom Live Devices use a 2G SIM Card....
    The US use a different phone system and as far as I'm aware US Tomtom devices have their own dedicated app for Live Traffic....

    Re... The MyDrive App....

    OK, let me try a different way. Does the TomTom GO Comfort have to be connected to a cellphone through the MyDrive app in order to receive live traffic information?
