7 Installing in your car Your TomTom GO navigation device has an integrated mount. See the printed installation poster included with your product for more information. To install your device, do the following: 1. Make sure that both the windshield mount and your windscreen are clean and dry. 2. Plug the USB car charger into the power supply on your dashboard. 3. Connect the USB cable to the car charger and your TomTom device. 4. Press the suction cup of the windshield mount firmly against the windscreen on an area where the glass is flat. Important: Place the windshield mount so that it does not interfere with your view of the road or of any of the controls in your car. 5. Twist the rubber grip near the base of the mount in a clockwise direction until you hear a click. Your navigation device is now installed. The next step is to switch it on and answer a few set-up questions. Switching on and off To switch on your navigation device, press and hold the On/Off button until you see the start-up screen. The first time you switch on your device, you have to hold the button down for up to 15 seconds. Setting up Important: Take care to select the correct language as the language you choose will be used for all text on the screen. When you first switch on your device, you have to answer a few questions to set up the device. Answer the questions by tapping the screen. GPS reception When you first start your TomTom GO navigation device, the device may need a few minutes to determine your GPS position and show your current position on the map. In future, your position will be found much faster, usually within a few seconds. To ensure good GPS reception, you should use your device outdoors. Large objects such as tall buildings can sometimes interfere with reception. Read me first
8 Micro-SD card slot Your TomTom GO navigation device has a micro-SD card slot that is located under a cover on the side of the device. You can insert a pre-installed memory card into the slot to add extra maps to your device. Pre-installed memory cards can be purchased from your TomTom retail store. About MyTomTom MyTomTom helps you manage the contents and services of your TomTom GO navigation device, as well as giving you access to the TomTom community. You log in to MyTomTom on the TomTom website. It is a good idea to frequently connect your navigation device to MyTomTom to ensure you always have the latest updates. Tip: We recommend using a broadband internet connection whenever you connect your navigation device to MyTomTom. Setting up MyTomTom To set up MyTomTom, do the following: 1. Connect your computer to the internet. 2. Start a browser and go to tomtom.com/getstarted. 3. Click Download now. Your browser downloads the MyTomTom support application, which you need to install on your computer in order to connect your device to MyTomTom. Follow the instructions on the screen if you are asked questions while downloading. 4. When prompted, connect your device to your computer using the USB cable. Then switch your device on. Important: You should plug the USB cable directly into a USB port on your computer and not into a USB hub or USB port on a keyboard or monitor. Once the MyTomTom support application is installed, you can access MyTomTom from the notification area on your desktop. Tip: When you connect your navigation device to your computer, MyTomTom tells you if there are any updates for your device.
9 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 for 15 seconds and release the button when your device begins to restart. Charging your device The battery in your TomTom GO navigation device charges when you connect it to the car charger or to your computer. Important: You should plug the USB connector directly into a USB port on your computer and not into a USB hub or USB port on a keyboard or monitor. Safety Notice Some TomTom 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 airplanes. Take care of your navigation device Never leave your TomTom GO or accessories on view when you leave the car as they may become an easy target for thieves. It is important to take care of your device:  Your device is not designed for use in extreme temperatures and any such exposure may cause permanent damage. Extended exposure to sunlight may lead to early deterioration in battery performance.  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.
10 Positioning the mount Consider carefully where to attach the mount in your car. The mount should not block or interfere with any of the following:  Your view of the road  Any of the controls in your car  Any of your mirrors  Any airbags When your navigation device is in the mount, you should be able to reach the device easily without leaning or stretching. You can attach the mount to the windscreen or side window or you can use a Dashboard Mount Disk to attach the mount to your dashboard. The following diagrams show where you can safely attach the mount. TomTom also offers alternative mounting solutions for your TomTom navigation device. For more information about Dashboard Mount Disks and alternative mounting solutions, go to tomtom.com/accessories. Safety settings We recommend using the safety settings to make your driving as safe as possible. These are some of the options included in the safety settings:  Show essential menu buttons while driving  Show safety reminders  Warn when driving faster than allowed If your device supports voice commands, you can also drive more safely by using voice commands to control your navigation device.

For more information about the route, tap Details.
13 To plan a different route, tap Change route. Your TomTom GO starts to guide you to your destination, using spoken instructions and on-screen directions. Route summary The route summary shows an overview of your route, the remaining distance to your destination and the remaining estimated journey time. To view the route summary, tap the right-hand panel on the status bar in the Driving view or tap View route in the Main menu and then tap Show route summary. If you have a TomTom Traffic service or an RDS-TMC receiver, the route summary also shows traffic information about delays on your route.

14 To view LIVE summary information, tap the LIVE tab on the route summary screen. Tap any of the panels for more detailed information. The LIVE tab panels show the following information:  Traffic on route - tap this panel to view detailed information about traffic delays and other incidents on your route.  Speed cameras - tap this panel to open the Speed Camera menu. You can then report a speed camera or change your settings for speed camera warnings.  Weather - tap this panel to view the latest weather reports. Note: LIVE services are not available in all countries or regions, and not all LIVE services are available in all countries regions. You may be able to use LIVE services when travelling abroad. For more information on available services, go to tomtom.com/services. Alternative routes Your TomTom GO helps you reach your destination as quickly as possible by showing you a faster alternative route when one is available.
15 To take the alternative route, tap the balloon at the top of the screen. If you don't want to follow the alternative route, keep driving to continue to receive instructions for your original route. Tip: The alternative route disappears when it is no longer faster than your original route or it is too late for you to choose it. To change how you are asked about alternative routes, tap Settings and then Route planning. Tap Next until you reach Replanning settings. Selecting a route type Every time you plan a route, you can choose to be asked about the type of route you want to plan. To do this, tap Settings followed by Route planning and then tap Ask me every time I plan. The types of route you can choose from are as follows:  Fastest route - the route which takes the least time.  Eco route - the most fuel-efficient route for your journey.  Shortest route - the shortest distance between the locations you set. This may not be the quickest route, especially if the shortest route is through a town or city.
16  Avoid motorways - a route which avoids motorways.  Walking route - a route designed for making the journey on foot.  Bicycle route - a route designed for making the journey on a bicycle. Frequent destinations If you often make trips to the same destinations, you can set your TomTom GO to ask if you want to plan a route to one of these locations every time the device starts. This is faster than planning a route in the normal way. To select a new destination, tap Start up in the Settings menu and select Ask for a destination. Select a button to use for this destination and answer the questions about the destination. Show my frequent destinations You can set your TomTom GO to ask if you want to plan a route to one of your frequently visited destinations every time the device starts. To change this setting, do the following: 1. Tap Start up in the Settings menu and then select Ask for a destination. 2. Tap Yes, then tap Yes again to begin entering information about the destination. 3. Select a symbol for the destination and tap Done to set the symbol, then tap Yes. Tip: To add new destinations, select one of the numbered symbols and enter a name for the new destination button. 4. Tap Yes and if required enter a new name, then tap Done. 5. Enter the address details in the same way you enter an address when planning a route, then tap Done. 6. If you want to set more destinations, repeat the steps above. Otherwise, tap Done. 7. You are asked if you want to change the start-up image. 8. If you want to change the image, tap Yes then follow the instructions shown on the screen. Otherwise, tap No. Every time your TomTom GO starts, you are asked if you want to plan a route. If you tap Cancel, you are shown the Main Menu.
17 Using arrival times When you plan a route, your TomTom GO asks you if you need to arrive at a particular time. Tap YES to enter a preferred arrival time. Your GO calculates your arrival time and shows you whether you will arrive on time. You can also use this information to work out when you need to leave. If your GO shows that you will arrive 30 minutes early, you can wait and leave in 30 minutes time, rather than arrive early. Your arrival time is constantly recalculated during your journey. The status bar shows whether you will arrive on time or if you are going to be late, as shown below: You will arrive 55 minutes before the arrival time you entered. If the estimated arrival time is more than five minutes before the time you entered, it is shown in green. You will arrive 3 minutes before the arrival time you entered. If the estimated arrival time is less than 5 minutes before the time you entered, it is shown in yellow. You will arrive 19 minutes late. If the estimated arrival time is later than the time you entered, it is shown in red. Status bar Tap Status bar in the Settings menu, to enable or disable arrival time notifications. To enable arrival time notifications, select Leeway. Navigation menu options When you tap Navigate to or Drive to, you can set your destination in many ways, not just by entering the address. The other options are listed below: Home Tap this button to navigate to your Home location. You will probably use this button more than any other. Favourite Tap this button to select a Favourite as your destination.
18 Address Tap this button to enter an address as your destination. Recent destination Tap this button to select your destination from a list of places you have recently used as destinations. Point of Interest Tap this button to navigate to a Point of Interest (POI). Postcode Tap this button to enter a postcode as a destination. In some countries, the postcode can be used to identify the place and street. In other countries, the postcode only identifies the place, so you need to enter the street name separately. Point on map Tap this button to select a point on the map as your destination using the map browser. Latitude Longitude Tap this button to enter a destination using latitude and longitude values. Position of last stop Tap this button to select your last recorded position as your destination. Local search Tap this button to use TomTom Local Search with Google to help you find shops and businesses in and around your current location. Note: Only available on LIVE devices. You can choose to search for shops and businesses near you, near your destination, near any other destination or in a city. For example, if you are looking for a swimming pool near your current location, enter 'swimming pool' and choose the best search result.
19 Planning a route in advance You can use your TomTom GO to plan a route in advance, selecting your starting point and your destination. Here are some more reasons to plan a route in advance:  Find out how long a journey is going to take before you start.  You can also compare journey times for the same route at different times of the day or on different days of the week. Your GO uses IQ Routes when planning a route. IQ Routes calculates routes based on the real average speeds measured on roads.  Study the route of a journey you are planning.  Check a route for someone who is coming to visit you and then explain the route to them in detail. To plan a route in advance, follow these steps: 1. Tap the screen to bring up the Main menu. 2. Tap the arrow button to move to the next menu screen and tap Plan route. This button is shown while there is no planned route on your GO. 3. Select the starting point for your journey in the same way that you would select your destination. 4. Set the destination for your journey. 5. If Route planning settings are set to Ask me every time I plan, select the type of route you want to plan:  Fastest route - the route which takes the least time.  Eco route - the most fuel-efficient route for your journey.  Shortest route - the shortest distance between the locations you set. This may not be the quickest route, especially if the shortest route is through a town or city.  Avoid motorways - a route which avoids motorways.  Walking route - a route designed for making the journey on foot.  Bicycle route - a route designed for making the journey on a bicycle. 6. Choose the date and time that you will make the journey you are planning. Your GO uses IQ Routes to work out the best possible route at that time. This is useful to see how long a journey takes at different times of the day or on different days of the week. Your TomTom GO plans the route between the two locations you selected. Viewing route information You can access these options for the route you last planned by tapping View route in the Main Menu or the Details button on the route summary screen.
20 You can then select from the following options: Show instructions Tap this button for a list of all the turn instructions on the route. This is very useful if you need to explain a route to someone else. Show map of route Tap this button to see an overview of the route using the map browser. Show route demo Tap this button to watch a demo of the journey. You can interrupt the demo at any time by tapping the screen. Show route summary Tap this button to open the route summary screen. Show destination Tap this button to see a preview of your destination. You can navigate to a car park near your destination, and view any available information about your destination, for example, the phone number. Show traffic on route Tap this button to see all the traffic incidents on your route. Note: This button is only shown if your device has either a traffic subscription or an RDS-TMC Receiver connected. Traffic information is not available in all countries or regions. For more information about TomTom traffic information services, go to tomtom.com/services.
21 About voice control Note: Voice control is not supported on all devices or in all languages. Instead of tapping the screen to control your TomTom GO, you can use your voice to control your GO. For example, to increase the volume on your GO, you can say "Increase volume" or "Volume 50%". To view the list of available commands, tap Help in the Main menu, tap Product manuals and then tap What to say. Important: Voice control requires a computer voice. When there is no computer voice installed and selected on your TomTom GO, this feature is not available. To select a computer voice, tap Voices in the Settings menu, then tap Change voice and select a computer voice. Using voice control Voice control is switched on by default if it is supported by your chosen language. To switch off voice control and remove the button from the Driving view, tap Voice control in the Settings menu and select Disable voice control. The following example shows how to use voice control to plan a journey to your Home address: 1. Tap the microphone button in the Driving view to turn on the microphone. You see a screen with examples of commands you can say. Tap What to say to see a full list of commands you can say. Alternatively, tap Settings in the Main menu, tap Voice control and then tap What to say. 2. When you hear "Say a command" followed by a tone, say a command of your choice. For example, you can say "Drive home". Your GO is only ready to listen after your hear the tone. While you are speaking the microphone monitor shows how well the device can hear your voice: Voice control
22 A green bar means the device can hear your voice. A red bar means your voice is too loud for the device to recognise individual words. A grey bar means your voice is too quiet for the device to recognise individual words. For some phrases, your GO repeats what you say and asks for confirmation. Tip: For the best recognition of what you say, speak normally without trying to articulate words in an unnatural way. 3. If the command is correct, say "Yes." If the command is incorrect, say "No" and repeat the command after you hear the prompt and tone again. Your GO plans a route from your current location to your destination. Tip: To stop your GO from listening out for further commands, say "Cancel". To go back one step, say "Back". Planning a journey using your voice Important: In the interest of safety and to reduce distractions while you are driving, you should always plan a route before you start driving. Note: It's not possible to plan a route using your voice for all maps in all countries, or in all languages. To plan a route to an address using speech, do the following: 1. Tap the voice control button in the Driving view. 2. When you hear the tone, say, "Navigate to address" or "Drive to address". Tip: Your device has either Navigate to or Drive to on the button in the Main Menu. When planning a route to an address using speech, say "Navigate to address" if the button shows Navigate to or "Drive to address" if the button shows Drive to. 3. Say the name of the town.
23 Your GO shows a list of towns which sound similar to what you said and tells you which town is at the top of the list. If the town you hear is the same as the town you requested then say, "Done" or "OK" or "Yes" or "One" or tap the town at the top of the list. If the town you hear is incorrect, but the correct town is in the list, say the number next to the correct town or tap the name of the town. For example, if the correct city is Rotterdam and this town is shown at the third item in the list, you can say, "Three" or tap the name, Rotterdam. If the name is not in the list, then say "Back" or "No" or tap Back to return to the previous screen and say the town again when you hear the tone. 4. Say the streetname. Your GO shows a list of streetnames which sound similar to what you said and tells you which streetname is at the top of the list. If the streetname you hear is the same as the streetname you requested then say, "Done" or "OK" or "Yes" or "One" or tap the streetname at the top of the list. Tip: Different locations may have the same name, such as a road that spans multiple postcodes. When this happens you need to look at the screen and tap the correct location. If the street name you hear is incorrect, but the correct streetname is in the list, say the number next to the correct streetname or tap the streetname in the list. If the streetname is not shown in the list, say "Back" or "No" or tap Back to return to the previous screen and then say the streetname again when you hear the tone. 5. Say the house number.
24 Important: Numbers need to been spoken in the same language as the button names and menus on your TomTom GO. Numbers should be pronounced in the same way you normally say a number, in one continuous sentence. So 357 is pronounced, "Three hundred and fifty seven." If the number is shown correctly then say, "Done" or "OK" or tap the keyboard to enter the number. If the number is shown incorrectly then say, "Back" or "No" or tap the Backspace key and repeat the number. Tip: If you say, "Back" when there are no numbers on the screen, your GO will return you to the previous screen. When the number is shown correctly say, "Done" or "OK." Alternatively, enter the number by tapping the screen. 6. When the route has been calculated and the route summary is shown, tap Done. Your TomTom GO starts to guide you to your destination, using spoken instructions and onscreen directions. Entering addresses using your voice Important: In the interest of safety and to reduce distractions while you are driving, you should always plan a route before you start driving. Even if you don't use voice control to start planning a journey, you can still use your voice to enter the address. To start planning a journey tap Navigate to or Drive to in the Main menu, then tap Address. To enter the destination using your voice, tap one of the following buttons:
25 Spoken address Tap this button to enter an address entirely using speech. Spoken address helps you to enter information without tapping the screen.
