This Reference Guide explains all you need to know about your new TomTom GO Mobile navigation

app.

The Get going chapter is a great place to start. You'll learn all about starting up, setting up and

planning your first route, and you'll see a quick introduction to TomTom services, which includes

Traffic, Speed Cameras and Danger Zones. 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.

For information about what you see in the app, go to:

 What's on the screen

 Using gestures

 Main menu

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

name from the list or enter a search term.

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

Welcome to navigation with TomTom

Starting the app

GO

Tap this button on your device to start the GO Mobile app.

Starting the app for the first time

When you start the GO Mobile app for the first time, select Get Started to open the app. You see the

following screens:

 Tour - These screens show you the main features of the app. Read the screen, then swipe to

move to the next screen. On the last screen, select Next to exit the tour.

 Download a Map - You are asked if you want to download a new map. Select the map you want

to use. You can download other maps at any time.

 Your Information - You are asked if you want to send your information to TomTom. If you choose

not to send your information, you can still plan routes but you cannot use TomTom services.

Select Yes to send your information.

 The map view.

The app has been started before

If you have started the app before, you see the map view.

If the app was in the background, you see the last screen you were looking at.

Language

The language used for buttons and menus in the GO Mobile app is the same as the language you

selected in your device settings.

If you change the device language, the voice used for spoken directions and other route instructions in

the GO Mobile app might not be compatible with the new device language. Go to voices in the

Settings menu and download a compatible voice.

Important: Some voices are large files that can take a long time to download. To prevent high data

charges we advise you to download a voice using a WiFi connection.

Sending information to TomTom

When you first start the GO Mobile app or you have reset the app, you are asked for permission to

send your location to TomTom and to send information about how you use the app. We use your

location to provide TomTom services near you and along your route, and to keep your map up-to-date.

We learn how you use the app so we can continually improve.

You can read more about how we use your information by selecting More information in the Send

information settings screen.

You can choose which information you share in System in the Settings menu.

Get going

7

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.

Additional information

If you think that your information is not being used for the purpose for which you have provided it to

TomTom, contact us at tomtom.com/support.

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

About TomTom services

TomTom services give you real-time information about traffic and speed cameras or danger zones on

your route. 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.

When your device is connected to the Internet, the GO Mobile app is always connected to TomTom

services - you don't have to do anything to activate TomTom services.

When you have used all your Free Kilometres or Free Miles, TomTom services still shows real-time

information on the map view. When you start driving, the app blocks the screen so you that can't use it

when driving. You must upgrade to Unlimited Navigation to use TomTom services again, or wait until

the next month to use Free Navigation.

Note: TomTom services are not available in all countries or regions, and not all services are

available in all countries or regions. For more information on available services in each region, go to

tomtom.com/services.

Important: To use TomTom services you need a continuous data connection (GPRS, EDGE, UMTS

or CDMA). Your mobile operator may charge you for using a wireless data connection.

Updating your GO Mobile app

You can let your GO Mobile app be updated automatically, or you can manually check for an update

by going to the Google Play Store.

Remember to download the latest version of this guide from tomtom.com/downloads.

Maps

When you start the GO Mobile app you have to download a map. Choose a map from the list of maps

shown for your current location. You can select All Maps to see a list of all the maps that are

available.

Tip: Some maps are very large. If you don't have much space on your device, choose a map that

covers only the area you need.

Select a map, then select Download to download the map.

Important: A map is a large file that can take a long time to download. To prevent high data charges

we advise you to download a map using a WiFi connection. Once downloading has started, you must

download the complete map before you can use the GO Mobile app.

When the download is complete, select OK to start the GO Mobile app.

8

Map updates

If a map update is available, select Download to download the update. Select Skip version to

continue using the old map. You can choose to download the next map release when it is available.

Select Ask me later to be informed about the current map update when you next start the GO Mobile

app.

GPS reception

When you first start the GO Mobile app, it may need a few minutes to find your GPS position and show

your current location on the map. Make sure you have GPS activated on your device.

Tip: The GPS settings are in the device's Settings app.

In areas where GPS reception is not possible, such as tunnels, your location may not be accurate.

Important: The GO Mobile app cannot give you route instructions until it has received location data.

Some devices need a data connection to obtain a GPS location.

If your device has no GPS reception, the GO Mobile app uses positioning information from WiFi

networks or mobile phone towers. This information is used for route planning and to determine your

approximate location.

Installing in your car

Only use an approved mount to hold your device when you are using it in your car. A range of

accessories to hold devices are available from tomtom.com/accessories.

Be careful where you install your device in your car. The device shouldn't block or interfere with any of

the following:

 Your view of the road.

 The controls in your car.

 Your rear-view mirrors.

 The airbags.

You should be able to reach the device easily without leaning or stretching.

Closing or running in the background

You can choose to continue running the GO Mobile app when it is in the background, or you can let

your device pause the GO Mobile app in the background when another app is started.

If the app is running in the background and you are driving on a planned route, you continue to hear

driving instructions.

Important: You still use your free miles when the app is running in the background.

If the app is paused in the background for a long time your device eventually closes the app.

To close the GO Mobile app yourself, return to the map view or guidance view then press your

device's back button. Select Close to close the app.

Getting help

You can get further help by going to tomtom.com/support.

For warranty and privacy information, go to tomtom.com/legal.

Planning a route to an address using search

Important: In the interest of safety and to avoid distractions while you are driving, you should always

plan a route before you start driving.

To plan a route to an address using search, do the following:

1. Select the Main Menu button to open the Main Menu.

2. Select Search.

The search screen opens with the keyboard showing.

3. Use the keyboard to enter the name of the place you want to plan a route to.

are available. For example, press and hold the letter "e" to access characters 3 e è é ê ë and

more.

You can search for an address, town, city, postcode or mapcode.

Tip: To search for a specific street in the United Kingdom or the Netherlands, type in a postcode,

then leave a space and then type in the house number. For example, "1017CT 35". For other

countries, postcodes are area-based and will give you a list of matching cities, towns and streets

in your search results.

Note: When searching, the whole map is searched. If you want to change how the search is

done, select the button to the right of the search box. You can then change where the search is

done, for example, to being along the route or in a city.

4. As you type the address, suggestions based on what you have entered are shown in columns.

You can continue typing or select a suggestion.

Tip: To see more results, hide the keyboard or swipe the results list to scroll it.

10

Tip: You can switch between seeing the results on the map or in a list by selecting the list/map

button:

5. Select an address suggestion.

6. Enter the house number if you have one and haven't entered it already.

Tip: If you enter a house number that is not found, then the number appears red. The nearest

house number that is found is shown in the Drive button. You can enter a new house number, or

you can select Drive to drive to the nearest house number.

7. Select Drive.

A route is planned and then guidance to your destination begins. As soon as you start driving, the

guidance view is shown automatically.

Tip: If your destination is in a different time zone, you see a plus (+) or a minus (-) sign and the

time difference in hours and half hours in the arrival information panel. The estimated time of

arrival is the local time at your destination.

Tip: You can add a stop to a route that you have already planned.

Tip: You can save a route using My Routes.

13

Using your Free Navigation

Free navigation on the TomTom GO Mobile app has the same features as unlimited navigation,

including TomTom Traffic, Speed Cameras and Danger Zones - you can even download any map you

want.

When you first install the the app you receive some free kilometres or miles and a one-time bonus

amount of kilometres or miles. Any unused bonus kilometres or miles at the end of the first month will

be transferred to the next month. At the start of every subsequent month you receive 75 free

kilometres (xx miles). These monthly free kilometres or miles are not transferred to the next month.

In the main menu, you can see how many free kilometres or miles you have remaining.

Note: You see kilometres or miles depending on what is used in your current location. You can

change between kilometres and miles by selecting Units in the Settings menu.

You use your free kilometres or miles when you are moving, even if you haven't planned a route. If

you don't want to use your free kilometres or miles, you must close the app.

If you are going to make longer journeys or use the GO Mobile app more frequently, upgrade to

unlimited navigation.

Driving with Free Navigation

If you are planning a route or driving, you might not have enough free kilometres or miles to reach your

destination. Even if you had enough free kilometres or miles when you planned your route, changing

traffic conditions may cause the GO Mobile app to find a quicker route that is longer than your original

route.

A message is shown on the screen if you don't have enough free kilometres or miles to reach your

destination.

Upgrade to unlimited navigation to make sure you can navigate all the way to your destination.

Upgrading to Unlimited Navigation

Upgrading to Unlimited Navigation means that you can use the TomTom GO Mobile app for all of your

journeys, every day.

Important: If you are outside of the area covered by your mobile data plan, you may be liable for extra

roaming charges while using TomTom services.

To upgrade to Unlimited Navigation, do the following:

1. Select the Main Menu button to open the Main Menu.

2. Select the Upgrade button.

3. Select the duration that you want to use unlimited navigation.

Important: Take care when choosing a country during account creation. The correct country is

needed if you make a purchase from TomTom and it cannot be changed after the account has been

created.

Note: If you have a MyTomTom account for a TomTom navigation device, you cannot use that

account for the GO Mobile app. You must open a new account for your app.

For more information on MyTomTom accounts, go to tomtom.com/mytomtom.

Your purchase is completed in the GO Mobile app. If payment is successful, Unlimited Navigation

starts within a few minutes.

Any Free Navigation kilometres or miles that you haven't used are stored for you. You can use the

stored kilometres or miles again when your Unlimited Navigation subscription has expired.

Existing Unlimited Navigation subscription

If you reinstalled the GO Mobile app on your device and you already have an Unlimited Navigation

subscription, select MyTomTom Account in the Settings menu and log in to your MyTomTom

account again.

The map view

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

your device 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.

8. Route bar. The route bar is shown when you have planned a route.

The route bar

The route bar is shown when you have planned a route. It has an arrival information panel at the top,

and a bar with symbols underneath.

Note: The distance ahead shown by the route bar depends on the overall length of your route.

The arrival information panel shows the following information:

 The estimated time that you will arrive at your destination.

 The length of time to drive to the destination from your current location.

 A parking button is shown near the destination flag when parking is

available near your destination.

Tip: If your destination is in a different time zone, you see a plus (+)

or a minus (-) sign and the time difference in hours and half hours in

the arrival information panel. The estimated time of arrival is the local

time at your destination.

If you have stops on your route, select this panel to change between

information about the next stop and your final destination.

You can choose the information you see on the arrival information panel.

The bar uses symbols to show the following information:

 The next two stops on your route.

 Petrol stations that are directly on your route.

 TomTom Traffic.

 TomTom Speed Cameras and Danger Zones.

The symbols are in the order that they occur on your route. For traffic

incidents, the symbol for each incident alternates between showing the

type of incident and the delay in minutes. Select a symbol to see more

information about a stop, an incident or a speed camera.

The total time delay due to traffic jams and other incidents on your route,

including information provided by IQ Routes, is shown above the symbols.

For a complete list of incident types, see Traffic incidents.

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

the distance to the next incident on your route.

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.

Rotating your device

You can use your device in a landscape or a portrait position. You might find it easier to search for

something with the device in the portrait position, but drive to your destination with the device in the

landscape position.

When you turn your device to a portrait position, some parts of the screen appear in a different place.

Here are some examples:

 The route bar stays on the right, but the arrival information panel is shown in a bar across the top

of the screen.

19

 The search results only shows one column. Swipe left or right to show another column.

You can rotate your device at any time.

Advanced Lane Guidance

Note: Lane guidance is not available for all junctions or in all countries.

Advanced Lane Guidance helps you prepare for motorway exits and junctions by showing the correct

driving lane for your planned route.

As you approach an exit or junction, the lane you need is shown on the screen and in the instruction

panel.

Tip: To close the lane image, select anywhere on the screen or press the back button.

To turn lane images off, select the Settings button in the Main Menu, then select Appearance. Switch

off the Show previews of motorway exits setting.

Time-dependent speed limits

Some speed limits change depending on the time of day. For example, you may see the speed limit

near schools decrease to 40 km/h or 25 mph in the morning between 08.00 - 09.00 and in the

afternoon between 15.00 - 16.00. Where possible, the speed limit shown in the speed panel changes

to show these variable speed limits.

Some speed limits change depending on driving conditions. For example, the speed limit will decrease

if there is heavy traffic, or the weather conditions are bad. These variable speed limits are not shown

in the speed panel. The speed shown in the speed panel is the maximum speed limit allowed in good

driving conditions.

Important: The speed limit shown in the speed panel is only an indication. You must always obey the

actual speed limit for the road you are on and the conditions you are driving in.
