Note: The TomTom Bridge might be secured to prevent you making changes. 
On this screen, you can change these settings: 
Image position 
 Fit 
This setting zooms out so either the image height or width fills the screen size, whichever is 
larger. You will see the complete image, but the image might have a border on two sides. 
 Fill 
This setting zooms in on the image so it fills the whole screen. A part of the image might be 
missing from the screen. 
 Stretch 
This setting fits both the height and width to the screen. The image might appear distorted. 
Aspect ratio 
The aspect ratio is the ratio of the screen width to the screen height. If your camera automatically 
sets the aspect ratio, select Auto. If your camera does not set the aspect ratio, select the setting 
that gives the best screen image size. 
Full screen 
Select this setting to show the image on the full screen. The system bar automatically hides after a 
few seconds. Touch the screen to show the system bar again. 
Mirror image 
Some cameras can automatically mirror the image to make it usable as a rear-view image. If your 
camera does not mirror the image, select this setting to mirror the screen image. 
Guide lines

About the vehicle width guide lines 
The guide lines help you see if your vehicle will fit in a parking space or other width-restricted area. 
Once you have set-up the guide lines using a space that you know your vehicle will fit in, you can 
use the guide lines to check the size of other spaces. 
Setting up the vehicle width guide lines 
1. Open the camera app. 
2. Position your vehicle in front of a space that you know your vehicle will fit in to. Make sure that 
your vehicle is in line with the centre of the space. 
3. Switch on Guide lines in the camera settings. 
The guide lines are shown on the screen. 
 
4. Touch and hold the guide lines until you see the hand symbol. 
5. Drag each corner of the guide line frame to fit the space. Drag the hand symbol to move the 
whole guide line frame. 
6. When the guide line frame fits the space, touch the screen outside of the frame to save the 
setting. 
Tip: You can hide the guide lines by switching off Guide lines in the camera settings. 
Using the vehicle width guide lines 
1. Open the camera app. 
2. Switch on Guide lines in the camera settings. 
3. Position your vehicle in front of a parking space. Use the guide lines to see if your vehicle can 
fit in the parking space. If the guide lines fit inside the parking lines then your vehicle will 
probably fit in the parking space.
