Welcome to navigation with TomTom
This Section explains how you use the TomTom Navigation app.
Important: For other TomTom BRIDGE device settings, and for instructions about other apps on the
device, please refer to the applicable User Documentation.
The TomTom Navigation app is installed on the device, either as an app that you have to open, or as a
software widget on the Home screen. The widget has some limited functionality, for example you can
see your route and route instructions on the widget, but you can't plan a route.
Select the widget to open the full navigation app to use all the navigation features.
The Get going chapter is a great place to start. You'll learn all about starting up and setting up the device,
and using the TomTom navigation app app to plan your first route. 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:

GPS reception
When you first start the TomTom navigation app 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 TomTom navigation app 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 TomTom navigation app app uses positioning information from
WiFi networks or mobile phone towers. This information is used for route planning and to determine your
approximate location.

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.
Running in the background
The TomTom navigation app app continues to run when it is in the background, for example when you
are using another app on the TomTom BRIDGE device.
If the TomTom navigation app app is running in the background and you are driving on a planned route,
you will continue to hear driving instructions.

![](/img.php?id=2371869&img=bg1e.png)
About postcodes
When searching using a postcode, your results depend on the type of postcode used in the country that
you are searching in.
The following types of postcodes are used:
Postcodes that navigate you to a street or part of a street.
Postcodes that navigate you to an area comprising, for example, a single town, several villages in a
rural area or a district in a large city.
Postcodes for streets
Countries such as the Netherlands and the United Kingdom use this type of postcode. When you search
using this type of postcode, enter the postcode, then leave a space and then optionally enter the house
number. For example, "1017CT 35". Your device then plans a route to a specific house or building on a
specific street.
Postcodes for areas
Countries such as Germany, France and Belgium use this type of postcode. If you search using a
postcode for an area, your results include all the streets in a city district, the whole town, or the villages
within that postcode.
You may get results from multiple countries if you enter a postcode for an area.
Note: If you search using a postcode for an area, you will not get a specific address in your results.
This type of postcode is still very useful in reducing the number of search results. For example, a search
for Neustadt in Germany returns a long list of possible results. Adding a space followed by the postcode
for an area narrows the results down to the Neustadt that you are looking for.
As another example, if you want to search in a city, enter a postcode for an area and select the city
centre you are searching for from the results.
About mapcodes
In countries where roads and houses have no names or addresses, you can use a mapcode instead. A
mapcode represents a location.
Every location on Earth, including those in the sea like islands and oil rigs, can be represented by a
mapcode. Mapcodes are short, and easy to recognise, remember and communicate. They are precise
to a few metres, which is good enough for every-day use.
Go to mapcode.com for instructions on how to find the mapcode for a location.
Mapcodes are more precise and more flexible than the address on a business card. You can choose a
location that you want to associate with your address, for example, the main entrance or the entrance to
a car park.

Danger Zones
About danger zones and risk zones
The Danger Zones service warns you about danger zones and risk zones on your route when you are in
France.
Since 3rd January 2012, it has been illegal to receive warnings about the position of fixed or mobile
speed cameras when you are driving in France. To be compliant with this change in French law, speed
camera locations are no longer reported but instead areas of danger are indicated as danger zones and
risk zones.
Important: Outside of France, you receive warnings about speed cameras. Inside France, you receive
warnings about danger zones and risk zones. When you cross the border, the type of warning you
receive changes.
A danger zone is a zone specified by French law. A risk zone is a temporary danger zone reported by
users. The Danger Zones service warns you about both danger zones and risk zones in the same way.
Danger zones and risk zones may or may not contain one or more speed cameras or a range of other
driving hazards:
Specific locations are not available and a danger zone icon is shown instead as you approach the
zone.
The minimum length of the zone depends on the road type and is 300 m for roads in built-up areas,
2000 m (2 km) for secondary roads and 4000 m (4 km) for motorways.
The location of one or more speed cameras, if any, can be at any point within the zone.
If two danger zones are close to each other, the warnings can be merged into a single longer zone.
Information about the location of zones is continually updated by TomTom and other users and
frequently sent to the TomTom navigation app app so that you always have the latest information. You
can also contribute by reporting new risk zone locations.
The TomTom BRIDGE device uses either a permanent connection or a smartphone connection to
connect to TomTom services.
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.
Note: You cannot remove a danger zone or a risk zone.
Danger zone and risk zone warnings
Warnings are given 10 seconds before you reach a danger zone or risk zone. You are warned in several
ways:
A symbol is shown in the route bar and on your route on the map.
Your distance to the start of the zone is shown in the route bar.
You hear a warning sound as you get near the start of the zone.
While you are approaching a zone or driving in a zone, your speed is monitored. If you drive more
than 5 km/h or 3 mph over the speed limit the route bar turns red. If you drive less than 5 km/h or 3
mph over the speed limit the route bar turns orange.
While you are driving in a zone your distance to the end of the zone is shown in the route bar.
To change the way you are warned about danger zones and risk zones, select Sounds & Warnings in
the Settings Menu.
When you first start using your device, warning sounds are played for these types of zones:

Reporting a risk zone
If you pass a new temporary risk zone that you were not warned about, you can report it instantly.
Note: To report a risk zone, your device must have a mobile data connection.
If a new temporary risk zone is reported directly before or after an existing risk or danger zone, then the
new zone is added to the existing zone.
If enough Danger Zones users report a new risk zone, that zone may become a danger zone and be
available for all subscribers.
To report a risk zone, do the following:
1. Select the Main Menu button to open the Main Menu.

The risk zone is saved on your device automatically and also sent to other users. A reported risk zone
stays on your device for three hours.
Updating locations for danger zones and risk zones
The locations of danger zones and risk zones can change frequently. New zones can also appear
without warning.
When connected to TomTom services, the TomTom navigation app app receives all zone updates in
real time. You do not need to do anything to receive updates – they are sent to your app automatically.

restricts the mounting of a navigation device on the windshield to a seven-inch square in the lower
corner of the windshield farthest removed from the driver or in a five-inch square in the lower corner of
the windshield nearest to the driver and outside of an airbag deployment zone, if the system is used only
for door-to-door navigation while the motor vehicle is being operated. Drivers in California should not
mount the device on their side or rear windows.
Minnesota State Legislature Statutes Section 169.71, subdivision 1, section 2 restricts any person
driving within the State of Minnesota from driving with a device suspended between the driver and the

driver to be aware of all applicable laws and to place the device in such a manner that will not interfere
with his/her driving.
TomTom Inc. bears no responsibility for and hereby disclaims all liability for any fines, penalties or
damage incurred by a driver for violations of the law. While driving in any state with windshield mounting
restrictions, TomTom recommends using the supplied Adhesive Mounting Disk or purchasing an
