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

device.

If you want a quick read of the essentials, we recommend that you read the Get going chapter.

This covers installation, switching on, setting up and planning your first route.

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

in the Connecting to TomTom services chapter.

For information about what you see on the device itself, go to:

 What's on the screen

 Using gestures

 Main menu

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

Installing in your car

Use the mount provided with your device to install your TomTom GO device in your vehicle. Read

the instructions about positioning your device before you install your device.

To install your device, do the following:

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

connect the USB cable to the device.

Note: Use ONLY the USB cable supplied with your device. 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 device.

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 device, place your device in the mount, making sure

that it clicks into place.

Dashboard mount disks are available as part of a range of accessories for your device. For more

information, go to tomtom.com/accessories.

Positioning the device

Be careful where you install your navigation 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. You can attach the

device 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

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.

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 device, you have to answer a few questions to set up the device.

Answer the questions by touching the screen.

GPS reception

When you first start your TomTom GO navigation device, the device 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 device 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 navigation

device find your position faster. QuickGPSfix information is sent to Always Connected devices in

real time and to Smartphone Connected devices when connected to TomTom services using your

smartphone. You can also update QuickGPSfix using MyDrive.

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.

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 are shown based on what you have entered. You can

continue typing or select a suggestion.

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 you have the latest version of the application

installed on your navigation device by connecting to MyDrive using a computer.

When your device is up-to-date, you can use a memory card as extra storage space to add extra

maps to your device. Maps can be purchased from tomtom.com.

Device not starting

In rare cases, your TomTom GO navigation 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 device to the car

charger. It can take up to 2 hours to fully charge the battery.

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

button until your device begins to restart.

Charging your device

The battery in your TomTom GO navigation device charges when you connect the device to the

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

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, the device

goes into sleep mode.

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

Sending information to TomTom

When you first start navigating or you have reset your device, the device asks for permission to

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

device 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 Settings.

2. Select System.

3. Select Your information.

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

My device

19

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.

Getting help

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

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

Take care of your navigation device

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 invalidate the warranty.

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

20

The map view

The map view is shown when you start your navigation device and 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.

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.
