This User Manual explains all you need to know about your new TomTom GO BASIC.

To learn about getting started with your device and installing it in your vehicle, we recommend that

you read the Get going chapter.

After that, you will probably want to connect to TomTom services and you can read all about that in

the TomTom services

chapter. To help you avoid traffic delays and get to your destination quicker,

you can use TomTom services even on the routes you drive every day.

Once you've had a look around your new TomTom GO, connect it to Wi-Fi® and see if any new

updates are available to install. We're always improving our maps and software, so check regularly

for updates.

In Quick Search and Step by step search

, you can read all about how you can search for addresses,

Points of Interest and Contacts. Both types of search give the same result, so choose the type of

search that you find easiest to use.

For information about what you see on the device itself, go to What's on the screen.

To plan your first route, go to Planning a route.

Tip: There are also frequently asked questions (FAQs) at tomtom.com/support. Select your

product model from the list or enter a search term.

We hope you enjoy reading about and, most importantly, using your new TomTom GO!

Welcome

Installing in your car

Use the supplied mount to install your TomTom GO BASIC in your vehicle. Read the instructions

about positioning your device

before you install your TomTom GO.

To install your TomTom GO, do the following:

1. Connect the supplied USB cable to the mount. If the mount is integrated into your TomTom GO,

connect the USB cable to the device.

Note: Use ONLY the USB cable supplied with your TomTom GO. Other USB cables may not

work.

2. Connect the USB cable to the USB car charger and plug this into the power supply on your

dashboard.

3. Choose the best smooth location, on your windscreen or side window, to mount your TomTom

GO BASIC.

Tip: If the mount is integrated into your TomTom GO, you can easily change the rotation of

your device. Release the mount from the TomTom GO using the thumb indent. Turn the mount

around and clip it back onto the device until you hear it click.

4. Make sure that both the suction cup on the mount and your windscreen are clean and dry.

5. Press the suction cup of the mount firmly against your windscreen.

6. Turn the rubber grip near the base of the mount in a clockwise direction until you feel it lock.

7. If your mount is not integrated into your TomTom GO, place your TomTom GO in the mount,

making sure that it clicks into place.

Dashboard adhesive disks are available as part of a range of accessories for your TomTom GO. For

more information, go to tomtom.com/accessories

.

Positioning the device

Be careful where you install your TomTom GO. The TomTom GO shouldn't block or interfere with

any of the following:

 Your view of the road.

 The controls in your vehicle.

 Your rear-view mirrors.

 The airbags.

You should be able to reach your TomTom GO easily without leaning or stretching. In a car, you can

attach your TomTom GO to the windscreen or side window or you can use a Dashboard Mount Disk to

attach the mount to your dashboard.

Switching on and off

Switching your device on

Press the On/Off button until your device starts. If the device was off you see the map view. If your

device was sleeping you see the last screen you were looking at.

Get going

10

Sending your device to sleep

To send your navigation device to sleep, press the On/Off button and then release it.

You can also press the On/Off button for more than 2 seconds until you see the Sleep and Turn Off

buttons. Select Sleep to make the device sleep.

Tip: To send your navigation device to sleep when the USB cable is unplugged or whenever it is

removed from the mount, go to Battery settings in the Settings menu.

Switching your device off completely

To switch off your navigation device completely, you can do one of the following:

 Press and hold the On/Off button for more than 2 seconds until you see the Sleep and Turn Off

buttons. Select Turn Off to switch off the device. Select the "back" button if you don't want to

switch your device off.

 Press and hold the On/Off button for more than 5 seconds until the device switches off.

Safety Notice

Some navigation devices contain a GSM/GPRS module which can interfere with electrical devices

such as cardiac pacemakers, hearing aids and aviation equipment.

Interference with these devices may endanger the health or life of you or others.

If your device includes a GSM/GPRS module, do not use it near unprotected electrical units or in

areas where the use of mobile telephones is prohibited, such as hospitals and aircraft.

Setting up

Note: The language you choose will be used for all text on the screen. You can always change the

language later in Language and Units in the Settings menu.

When you first switch on your TomTom GO BASIC, you have to answer a few questions to set it up.

Answer the questions by touching the screen.

GPS reception

When you first start your TomTom GO BASIC, it may need a few minutes to determine your position.

In future, your position will be found much faster.

To ensure good satellite reception, use your TomTom GO outdoors and keep it upright. Large

objects such as tall buildings can sometimes interfere with reception.

Important: QuickGPSfix contains information about satellite positions which helps your TomTom GO

find your position faster. QuickGPSfix information is downloaded whenever your device is connected

to the internet using any method (Wi-Fi, GPRS, smartphone or USB).

Sending information to TomTom

When you first start navigating or you have reset your TomTom GO, your TomTom GO asks for

permission to collect some information about your use of the navigation device. The information is

stored on your TomTom GO until we retrieve it. We use it anonymously to improve our products and

services. If you use our services, we will also use your location information to deliver the services to

you.

You can change whether you send this information with us at any time by doing the following:

1. In the Main Menu, select the Settings button.

2. Select System.

11

3. Select Your information & privacy.

4. Select the button to turn sending of information on or off.

Note: If you choose not to send location information to us, you will no longer receive our

services. This is because services need to send the location of your device to TomTom in order to

receive the traffic information related to where you are. The end date of your subscription

remains the same, even if you do not send this information to us.

You can find current and more detailed information at tomtom.com/privacy.

Memory card slot

Some TomTom navigation devices have a memory card slot that is located on the side or bottom of

the device.

Before you use the memory card slot, make sure that your navigation device has the latest software

version installed by selecting Updates & New Items in the Settings

menu.

When your TomTom GO is up to date, you can use a memory card as extra storage space to store

downloaded maps or to store routes and tracks on your device.

Important: Routes and tracks cannot be stored on the same memory card as maps because different

memory card formatting is used.

Device not starting

In rare cases, your TomTom GO device may not start correctly or may stop responding to your taps.

First, check that the battery is charged. To charge the battery, connect your TomTom GO device to

the car charger. It can take 3 - 5 hours to fully charge the battery depending on the type of device.

Important: Do not charge your device using your vehicle's own USB port because it is not powerful

enough.

If this does not solve the problem, you can perform a reset. To do this, press and hold the On/Off

button until your TomTom GO begins to restart.

Charging your device

The battery in your TomTom GO BASIC charges when you connect it to your TomTom vehicle

charger, to your computer or to a USB Home Charger.

Important: Do not charge your device using your vehicle's own USB port because it is not powerful

enough.

You are warned when the battery level is low or critical. You lose your connection to some TomTom

services when the battery level is low or critical. When the battery is empty, your TomTom GO goes

into sleep mode.

Important: On device models START 42/52, START 40/50/60, and GO 51/61, the screen intentional-

ly dims when you connect your device to your computer. The screen also dims if you use a

non-TomTom charger that does not provide enough power when charging.

Note: Use ONLY the USB cable supplied with your TomTom GO. Other USB cables may not work.

Caring for your TomTom GO

It is important to take care of your device:

12

 Do not open the casing of your device under any circumstances. Doing so may be dangerous and

will invalidate the warranty.

 Wipe or dry the screen of your device using a soft cloth. Do not use any liquid cleaners.

13

About Wi-Fi®

The easiest way to manage your maps, software and all your device content is over a Wi-Fi

connection.

Your device can be updated using Wi-Fi without the need to connect to a computer. It remembers

previously connected Wi-Fi networks so you can keep your device up to date when you are in range

of that network.

Before you begin, make sure that you have access to an unrestricted Wi-Fi network, such as a

personal home network. Please be aware that updating over a public Wi-Fi network, such as in an

airport or hotel, is not recommended because the updates can be large and the network connection

may not be stable.

Tip: If you don’t have access to a Wi-Fi network or your Wi-Fi network is slow or not stable, you

can use a USB connection to update using MyDrive Connect on your computer.

Connecting to Wi-Fi

Important: Wi-Fi connections that require a web sign-in are not supported on the TomTom GO.

These types of Wi-Fi connections are frequently found in public places, for example in hotels, shops

and restaurants.

About updates and new items

A red exclamation mark in the Settings button shows you that updates or new items are available.

Tip: You may also be offered a system software update when you add a new map.

The following updates or new items can be offered:

System software updates

A System software update is a software update for the device itself. You see an explanation about

why the update is required and which features are changing or being added, if any.

If you have not used your device for a long time, you may get asked to install a required software

update when you use your device again. If you don't install the update, the following issues can

occur:

 Your device cannot be told about any updates and no further updates would be possible.

 Your device cannot show the details of the required software updates, for example, size,

version, etc.

 Your device cannot add or delete any maps.

Map updates

When a map

update is offered, install it as soon as possible so that you always drive with the latest

map.

The existing map is deleted before the map update is installed. If you cancel a map update then you

will no longer have the map on your TomTom GO. If this happens, go to Maps in the Settings

menu

and download the map again.

Important: Lifetime is the useful life of the device, which means the period of time that TomTom

continues to support your device with either software updates, services, content or accessories. A

device will have reached the end of its useful life when one or more is no longer available or if no

updates have been downloaded to the device for a period of 36 months or more. For more
