What is Otto?
Otto is a portable device that fits in the palm of your hand. Using GPS technology, Otto can calculate the speed and location of your vehicle. Since Otto comes pre-loaded with a map of your coverage area, it can use this information to help you drive safely, and even helps you avoid traffic tickets. When your vehicle exceeds the posted speed limit, or when you approach a potentially hazardous location, Otto will alert you through a voice prompt and an indicator light. This information translates into timely alerts that are intended to offer you greater personal safety. |

Where does Otto operate?
Otto comes pre-loaded with your municipality, so if you buy it in your area, it will be ready to use. Additionally, through a yearly subscription program, you can take Otto wherever you drive. When you are subscribed to the "map roaming service", coverage areas other than your home can be downloaded to your Otto via the easy-to-use myOtto configuration website. |
Otto is easy to use!
Otto is your personal driving companion. Just connect it to the supplied cigarette lighter power adapter using the supplied cable, or place two AA batteries in the battery compartment, turn it on, and start driving. Otto will be with you everywhere you drive, using its intelligence to help you to drive safely. |
