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

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, which you can read all about in the

Connecting to TomTom services chapter. To help avoid traffic delays and get you to your destination

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

Once you've had a look around your new 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 GO!

Welcome to navigation with TomTom

8

Installing in your car

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

positioning your device before you install your GO.

To install your GO, do the following:

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

USB cable to the device.

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

Tip: If the mount is integrated into your GO, 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 GO, place your 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 GO. For more

information, go to tomtom.com/accessories.

Positioning the device

Be careful where you install your GO. The GO 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 GO easily without leaning or stretching. In a car, you can attach your

GO 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

9

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 GO, 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, 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 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 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 GO, your GO asks for permission to collect

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

Memory card slot

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

the device.

10

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 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 may not start correctly or may stop responding to your taps.

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

Charging your device

The battery in your TomTom GO 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 GO goes into sleep

mode.

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

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 GO. Other USB cables may not work.

Caring for your GO

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.

11

 Your data plan with your cellular service provider is active, and you can access the internet on

your phone.

Personal Area Networks

Smartphone-connected devices only

Network (PAN) functions.

Depending on your phone's Operating System, this network, or PAN, might have one of the following

names:

 Personal Hotspot

 Tethering or Bluetooth Tethering

 Tether or Bluetooth Tether

The PAN function is probably already in your phone's Operating System, or you can download an app

to create a PAN.

Note: Some mobile service providers do not allow their users to use a PAN. If your phone does not

have the PAN function, you should contact your service provider for more information.

Please check the user guide for your phone if you are having trouble finding the settings.

For more help, go to tomtom.com/connect.

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 GO. These types of

Wi-Fi connections are frequently found in public places, for example in hotels, shops, and restaurants.

To connect to a Wi-Fi network, do the following:

1. Select Settings in the Main Menu, then select Wi-Fi.

You see a list of available Wi-Fi networks and saved Wi-Fi networks that are currently out of

range.

Tip: Scroll down to go to the list of out-of-range saved networks.

2. Select the Wi-Fi network that you want to connect to. If the network is secure, enter the password.

If no password is required, you are connected right away.

Tip: For advanced options for a Wi-Fi network, see Wi-Fi in the Settings menu.

3. Select Done, then select Connect.

It may take a few moments for your device to connect to the Wi-Fi network. If it takes too long,

please check the identity and password you used for the Wi-Fi network.

Once your device has successfully connected to the Wi-Fi network, you see the status Connected

under the Wi-Fi network name.

Forgetting a Wi-Fi network

To forget a Wi-Fi network from your list of available networks do the following:

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 be 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 GO. If this happens, go to Maps in the Settings menu and

download the map again.

Map Share updates

These updates are created from changes made and shared by other TomTom users and contain the

following changes or updates:

 Speed limits

 Street names

 Recently blocked and unblocked roads

 Traffic directions

Safety Camera updates

When a Safety Camera update is offered, you can choose which countries on your map you want to

update.

Voices

You may also be offered new voices as an update.

The map view

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

your GO 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.
