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.
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.
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.
Safety
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.
10

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.
14
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.


quickest route, especially if the shortest route is through a town or city.
15

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.

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.
16
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.
Tap Status bar in the Settings menu, to enable or disable arrival time
notifications.
To enable arrival time notifications, select Leeway.
Status bar

Local search
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.
18
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.

Voice control
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:
21
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:

3. Say the name of the town.
22
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

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.

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.

the POI. If your device doesn't support hands-free calling, you can still get the phone number of
POI from your TomTom navigation device and then call the POI using another phone or device.
For example, you can search for a cinema, call to book a ticket and plan a route to the cinema, and
all using your GO.
1. Tap the phone button in the Driving view.
If the button is not visible in the Driving view, tap Make your own menu in the Settings menu
and select Call... to display the button in the Driving view.
2. Tap Point of Interest.
3. Select how you want to search for the POI.
For example, if you want to search for a POI on your route, tap POI along route.

For example, if you want to call a cinema to reserve a ticket, tap Cinema and then select the
name of the cinema you want to call. Then tap Call or Dial to make the phonecall.
Your GO uses your mobile phone to call the POI.
Setting warnings for POIs
You can set a warning sound or message to be played or displayed when you approach a selected

3. Set the distance as 250 metres and tap OK.
4. Select Sound effect and then tap Next.
5. Select the warning sound for the POI and then tap Next.
6. If you only want to hear the warning when the POI is directly on a planned route, select Warn
only if POI is on route. Then tap Done.
The warning is set for the selected POI category. You will hear a warning sound when you are
250 metres from a petrol station on your route.
Manage POIs
Tap Manage POIs to manage your POI categories and locations.
You can set your GO to let you know when you are near to selected POI locations. In this way you
could, for example, set the device to let you know you when you are approaching a petrol station.
You can create your own POI categories and add your own POI locations to these categories.
This means you can, for example, create a new POI category called Friends. You could then add
all your friends' addresses as POIs in this new category.

Traffic
About traffic information
You can receive traffic information in two ways:

TomTom HD Traffic

Traffic Message Channel (RDS-TMC)
Using traffic information, your TomTom GO can automatically adjust your route to minimise any
delays.
About TomTom HD Traffic
TomTom HD Traffic is a unique TomTom service providing real-time traffic information. For more
information about TomTom services, go to tomtom.com/services.
In combination with IQ Routes, HD Traffic helps you plan the optimum route to your destination
taking into account the current local traffic conditions.
Your TomTom GO regularly receives information about the changing traffic conditions. If traffic
jams or other incidents are found on your current route, your GO will offer to replan your route to
try and avoid any delays.
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.
Using traffic information
If you are using an RDS-TMC receiver to view TMC traffic information on your TomTom GO,
connect the TomTom RDS-TMC Traffic Receiver to the USB connector on your GO.
The traffic sidebar is shown on the right side of the Driving view. The sidebar informs you about
traffic delays while you drive, using glowing dots to show you where each traffic incident is
located on your route.
76
The top of the traffic sidebar represents your destination and shows the
total time delay due to traffic jams and other incidents on your route.
The central section of the traffic sidebar shows individual traffic incidents in
the order they occur on your route.
The bottom of the traffic sidebar represents your current location and
shows the distance to the next incident on your route.
To make the traffic sidebar more readable some incidents may not be shown. These incidents will
always be of minor importance and only cause short delays.
The colour of the pointers, as shown below, gives you an instant indication of the type of incident:
Unknown or undetermined situation.
Slow traffic.
Queueing traffic.
Stationary traffic or road closure.
Taking the fastest route
Your GO regularly looks for a faster route to your destination. If the traffic situation changes and a
faster route is found, your GO will offer to replan your journey so you can use the faster route.
You can also set your GO to automatically replan your journey whenever a faster route is found.
To apply this setting, tap Traffic settings in the Traffic menu.
To manually find and replan the fastest route to your destination, do the following:
1. Tap the traffic sidebar.
Tip: If you find that tapping the sidebar opens the Main menu instead of the traffic menu, try
tapping the sidebar with your finger resting on the edge of the screen.
2. Tap Minimise delays.
Your GO searches for the fastest route to your destination.
The new route may include traffic delays. You can replan the route to avoid all traffic delays,
but a route which avoids all delays will usually take longer than the fastest route.
3. Tap Done.
77
Minimising delays
You can use TomTom HD Traffic to minimise the impact of traffic delays on your route. To
minimise delays automatically, do the following:
1. Tap Services in the Main Menu.
2. Tap Traffic.
3. Tap Traffic settings.
4. Choose between always taking the faster route automatically, being asked or never changing
your route.
5. Tap Next and then Done.
6. Tap Minimise traffic delay.
Your device plans the quickest route to your destination. The new route may include traffic
delays and may remain the same as the original route.
You can re-plan the route to avoid all delays, but this route is unlikely to be the quickest
possible route.
7. Tap Done.
Making commuting to work easier
The Home to work or Work to home buttons in the Traffic menu lets you check your route to and
from work with one tap of a button.
When you use either of these buttons, your device plans a route between your home and work
locations and checks the route for possible delays.
The first time you use Home to work, you must set your traffic home and work locations by doing
the following:
1. Tap the traffic sidebar to open the Traffic menu.
2. Tap Show home-work traffic.
3. Set your home location and your work location.
If you have already set the locations and want to change them, tap Change home-work.
You can now use the Home to work and Work to home buttons.
78
Note: The home location you set here is not the same as the home location you can set in the
Settings Menu. In addition, the locations you use here do not have to be your actual home and
work locations. If there is another route that you often travel, you can set Work/Home to use
these locations instead.
For example, to check for delays on your route home before you leave the office, do the following:
1. Tap the traffic sidebar to open the Traffic menu.
2. Tap Show home-work traffic.
3. Tap Work to home.
The Driving View is shown and a message is displayed telling you about traffic incidents on this
route. The Traffic sidebar also shows any delays.
Getting more information about an incident
To check for delays on your route, tap Show traffic on route in the Traffic menu. Your navigation
device shows a summary of the traffic delays on your route.
The total includes any delays due to traffic incidents and those due to busy roads, with
information provided by IQ Routes.
Tap Minimise delays to check if you can reduce the delay.
Note: If you are using a LIVE device, you can also access the Show traffic on route screen by
tapping the traffic area of the LIVE Route summary tab.
79
Tap the left and right arrow buttons to move through each incident in turn, viewing the details of
each one. This includes the type of incident, for example road works, and the length of delay
caused by this incident.
You can also access the details about individual incidents by tapping View map in the Main Menu
and then tapping on the traffic incident symbol.
When shown on the map, a traffic incident starts with an icon. In the case of a traffic queue, the

Communications Commission of the U.S. Government.
The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent scientific
organisations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards
include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age
and health. The exposure standard for wireless handsets employs a unit of measurement known
as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The tests are performed in positions and locations (e.g.,
worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each model of usage.
