    You have connected your GPS to your smartphone to get fuel prices.

    Connecting your GPS to wi-fi only allows updates.

    I'm already completely confused.
    What does it matter if I connect to a smartphone or WiFi?
    I purchased a MIFI device to give WiFi to the device.
    Is that not enough? Why?
    Even traffic updates it will not give me?

    Hi @a92971

    Look back tomorrow when @VikramK should have picked this up and checked and sorted any issues with your units settings on the TT servers. From experience not all garages have their prices displayed on the TT units.

    But I do not see in myself fuel prices at all.
    Does this mean there is a problem with the device?

    Hi @a92971

    Hence the reason I suggested that you look back tomorrow to see what @VikramK has to say after he has checked your units settings incase they need changing on the TT servers.

    Hi @a92971

    You don't need to send him a message he should pick it up the he reads these posts as I have flagged it to him.

    If you don't connect your GPS to your smartphone, you will not be able to get fuel prices through your smartphone's mobile data.

    Hi @Willy875

    The Tomtom device should display fuel info when it is connected to a Wifi Source so it is worthwhile checking the units settings on the TT servers.

    Hi @a92971
    Could you send me the serial number of your device through a private message, please?

    Thanks, Vikram

    Thanks for sending the serial number @a92971
    I reviewed the services assigned for your TomTom GO Discover and all of them look okay.

    Could you do a soft reset and check again?


    Or, I would recommend that you follow up with a factory reset...

    Regards

    @a92971

    My experiences with 'Fuel prices' is that I can only see prices "locally" (approximately a 4 mile radius from my present location) but not all Petrol Stations publish their prices online for Tomtom to display. So if you live in a "rural area", there may not be any prices to see "locally"............. :/

    (On a Semi-related topic, I see no Car Parking Capacity information, this has been reported to the Tomtom Customer Care Team who so far have advised "At the moment workaround is not available for this Issue. I cannot give me any reference point when this will get resolved.")

    I reset the settings but now I can not connect to the network. It writes me SAVED 'but does not connect at all

    Finally now connected after the reset I performed and there are traffic updates and fuel prices.
    I do not understand why there is no regular customer service and I have to go so crazy that it gets tidy
