VIA 52
I have an Android phone and TomTom VIA 52. I have set up the phone and SatNav and with my phone Bluetooth switched on and Bluetooth tethering switched on - I have no X's on MyDrive and non X's on Traffic. I have connection which stay on.
When I leave the house walking or in the car with the SatNav and phone I get a few hundred yards along the road and I get a X by MyDrive and also a X by Traffic. I lose both signals.

Is it that at home my phone is connecting to my wifi?
When I leave home I should switch on Mobile Data?

Is it that at home my phone is connecting to my wifi? Yes, the only logical explanation is that it's your phone is WiFi connected to your home system and that is providing the traffic data while you are still home.
.

When I leave home I should switch on Mobile Data? Essential, yes. It's your phone that is making contact with the TomTom server to provide the traffic data to your 52 via Bluetooth, The good news is that TomTom's method of making the Bluetooth connection doesn't require any 'tethering plan' from your mobile provider, so no extra cost there. What's a bit confusing, as I write this, is that your country flag is showing U.S., but you're in the UK. But I think the issue of tethering is the same there.
