This User Manual explains all you need to know about your new TomTom VIA navigation device.

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 learn about searching for an address or Point of Interest, and

you can read all about that in the Step-by-step search chapter.

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 navigation device!

Welcome to navigation with TomTom

7

Installing in your car

Use the supplied mount to install your TomTom VIA in your vehicle. Read the instructions about

positioning your device before you install your VIA.

To install your VIA, do the following:

1. Connect the supplied USB cable to the mount. If the mount is integrated into your VIA, connect

the USB cable to the device.

Note: Use ONLY the USB cable supplied with your VIA. 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 windshield or side window, to mount your TomTom

VIA.

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

device. Push the button on the back of the device to release the mount, then slide the mount

out. Insert it back into the other side of the device.

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

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

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 VIA, place your VIA in the mount, making sure that it

clicks into place.

Dashboard adhesive disks are available as part of a range of accessories for your VIA. For more

information, go to tomtom.com/accessories.

Positioning the device

Be careful where you install your VIA. The VIA shouldn't block or interfere with any of the following:

 Your view of the road.

 The controls in your vehicle.

 Your rearview mirrors.

 The airbags.

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

your VIA to the windshield or side window or you can use a Dashboard Mount Disk to attach the

mount to your dashboard.

Turning on and off

Turning 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.

Putting your device to sleep

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

Get going

8

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.

Turning your device off completely

To turn 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 turn off the device. Select the "back" button if you don't want to

turn your device off.

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

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 VIA, 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 VIA, it may need a few minutes to determine your position. In the

future, your position will be found much faster.

To ensure good satellite reception, use your VIA 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 VIA find

your position faster. You can update QuickGPSfix using MyDrive Connect.

Sending information to TomTom

When you first start navigating or you have reset your VIA, your VIA asks for permission to collect

some information about your use of the navigation device. The information is stored on your VIA

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 to us at any time by doing the following:

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

2. Select System.

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.

Device not starting

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

9

First, check that the battery is charged. To charge the battery, connect your VIA 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 VIA begins to restart.

Charging your device

The battery in your TomTom VIA 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 VIA 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 VIA. Other USB cables may not work.

Finding the memory card slot

The memory card slot is under the mount.

To insert a memory card, release the mount from the VIA using the thumb indent. Insert the

memory card into the slot. Clip the mount back onto the device until you hear it click.

Caring for your VIA

It is important to take care of your device:

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

will void the warranty.

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

10

The map view

The map view is shown when you have no planned route. Your actual location is shown as soon as

your VIA has found your GPS location.

You can use map view in the same way as you might look at a traditional paper map. You can move

around the map using gestures, and zoom using the zoom buttons.

Important: Everything on the map is interactive, including the route and the map symbols - try

selecting something and see what it does!

Tip: To open a pop-up menu for an item on the map, for example a route or a POI, select the

item to open the menu. To select a location on the map, select and hold the location until the

pop-up menu opens.

The map shows your current location and many other locations such as your My Places locations.

If you have not planned a route, the map is zoomed out to show the area around your location.

If you have planned a route, your complete route is shown on the map. You can add stops to your

route directly from the map. When you start to drive, the guidance view is shown.

The bottom of the route bar represents your current location and shows

the distance to the next incident on your route. In addition, you can

choose to see the current time if you turn the setting on.

Note: To make the route bar more readable some incidents may not be shown. These incidents

will always be of minor importance and only cause short delays.

The route bar also shows status messages, for example Finding fastest route or Playing route

preview.

Distances and the route bar

The distance ahead shown on the route bar depends on the length of your route, or the distance

remaining on your route.

15

destination icon moves down toward the chevron symbol as you get closer to your destination.

The top half of the route bar shows twice the distance of the bottom half, as shown in the following

examples:

 A remaining distance of 31 miles (50 km) on the route bar is split into 21 miles (34 km) at the

top and 9 miles (16 km) on the bottom.

 A remaining distance of 6 miles (10 km) on the route bar is split into 4 miles (6.6 km) at the top

and 2 miles (3.3 km) on the bottom.
