Read

me first Mounting your device in your car

Make sure that both the mount and your windscreen are clean and dry before you attach

the mount. Place the device so that it does not interfere with your view of the road or of

any of the controls in your car.

To attach the mount, press the suction cup firmly against the windscreen on an area where

the glass is flat. Then twist the grip on the base of the mount in a clockwise direction until

you hear a click.

Plug the cable into your car dashboard and connect the other end to the connector on the

back of your device.

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, it may take a short time to start.

Setting up

Important: Take care to select the correct language, since 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 min-

utes 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 includes a micro-SD card slot so you can add extra

storage memory to your device. You can use a micro-SD card to store extra maps to use

in your device.

The micro-sd card slot is located under a cover on the side of the device.

About MyTomTom

MyTomTom helps you manage the contents, maps and services of your TomTom GO nav-

igation device, as well as giving you access to the TomTom community. It is a good idea

to frequently connect your navigation device to MyTomTom, to ensure you always have

the latest updates. You can also log in to MyTomTom on the TomTom website.

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.

Your device is then recognised, backed up and the latest updates are installed.

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.

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 properly 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 sun light may lead to early dete-

rioration in battery performance.

• Do not open the casing of your device under any circumstances. Doing so may be dan-

gerous and will invalidate the warranty.

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

Safety3.

Safety Installing 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

• The airbag

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, side window

or use a Dashboard Mount Disk to attach the mount to your dashboard. The following dia-

grams 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 pos-

sible.

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

You can also drive more safely by using voice commands to control your TomTom GO.

Using your voice to plan a route

Instead of tapping the screen to plan a route, you can use your voice to plan a route.

For information about planning a route using your voice, see Voice command and control.

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 settings in the Settings menu and select Ask for

a destination. Then 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 settings 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.

You are asked if you want to change the start-up image.

7. 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.

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.

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.

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. Choose the type of route that should be planned.

•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.

7. 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 control5.

Voice

control About voice control

Instead of tapping the screen to control your TomTom GO, you can use your voice to con-

trol your GO.

For example, to increase the volume on your GO, you can say, "Increase volume."

To view the list of available commands, tap Help in the Main menu or the Setting menu

then tap Product manuals and then tap What can I say?

Important: Voice control requires a computer voice. When there are no computer voices

installed 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

To enable voice control and show the button in the Driving view, tap Make your own

menu in the Settings menu and select the checkbox for Voice control.

To switch off voice control and remove the button from the Driving view, tap Make your

own menu in the Settings menu and clear the checkbox for 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 micro-

phone.

The microphone monitor is shown on the right-hand side of the screen.

2. When you hear the tone, say, "Navigate to Home".

While you are speaking the microphone monitor shows how well the device can hear

your voice:

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

and understand everything you say.

A grey bar means your voice is too quiet for the device to recognise individual

words and understand everything you say.

For some phrases, your GO repeats what you say and asks for confirmation.

3. If the command is correct, say, "Yes."

If the command is incorrect, say, "No" and repeat the command after you hear the tone.

Your GO plans a route from your current location to your Home address.

Tip: To stop your GO from listening out for further commands, say "Back" or "Cancel" or

"Quit" or simply tap the screen.

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".

3. Say the name of the town.

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 Paris and this town is shown at the third item in the

list, you can say, "Three" or tap the name, Paris.

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 post-

codes. 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.

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... in the Main menu, then tap Address.

To enter the destination using your voice, tap one of the following buttons:

Tips:

• Your GO recognises places and streetnames when they are spoken in the local lan-

guage using local pronunciation.

• Spoken address entry is not possible for postcodes which must be entered using the

keyboard.

• Spoken address entry is not available for all maps in all countries.

Spoken address

Tap this button to enter an address entirely using speech.

Spoken address helps you to enter information without tapping the

screen.

This option recognises the following spoken terms:

• Commands: Yes, No, Back, Done, OK, Crossing.

• Streetnames.

• Cities and towns and their centres.

• Favourites, postcodes and POIs.

• Plan alternative route, Recalculate original, Avoid roadblock, Min-

imise delays, Clear route, Travel via... and Recent destination.

• Numbers. These should be pronounced in the same way you nor-

mally say a number, in one continuous sentence. So 357 is pro-

nounced, "Three hundred and fifty seven."

Tap this button at the base of the keyboard to use speech to enter an

address. When the button is grey, you cannot use speech to enter an

address.

This button is available for the for the following types of destination:

Sounds and voices11.

Sounds

and

voices About sounds and voices

Your TomTom GO uses sound for the following:

• Driving directions and other route instructions

• Traffic information

• Warnings that you set

• Hands-free phone calls

There are two types of voice available for your GO:

• Computer voices

Computer voices are generated by your GO. They provide route instructions and read

aloud city and street names, traffic and weather reports, user messages and tutorials.

•Human voices

These are recorded by an actor and only provide route instructions.

About computer voices

Your TomTom GO uses text-to-speech technology and computer voices to read the street

names on your map as it guides you on your route.

The computer voice analyses the whole phrase or sentence before speaking, to ensure

that the sentence sounds as close as possible to natural speech.

Computer voices can recognise and pronounce foreign towns and street names. For

example, the English computer voice can read and pronounce French street names.

Important: Computer voices are not available in all languages.

If you require a computer voice and your language is unavailable, then you need to install

and use the English language computer voice. For more information on computer voices,

go to tomtom.com/services.

Many of the POIs on your TomTom GO include phone numbers. This means you can use

your GO to call the POI and plan a route to the location of the POI.

For example, you can search for a restaurant that serves South-East Asian cuisine, call to

reserve a table and plan a route to the restaurant, 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.

4. Tap the type of POI you want to call.

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 type of POI, such as a petrol station.

The following example will show how to set a warning sound to be played when you are

250 metres from a petrol station.

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

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 catego-

ries.

This means you can for example, create a new POI category called, Friends. You could

then add all your friend’s addresses as POIs in this new category. If you add their phone

numbers, you can call them on your mobile phone using the hands-free calling feature on

your GO.

as a radio signal and is available free of charge in many countries.

TMC is not a TomTom Service, but is available when using the TomTom RDS-TMC Traffic

Receiver.

vided by the Traffic Message Channel.

The Traffic Message Channel (TMC) is not available in all countries. To check the availa-

bility of TMC services in your country, go to tomtom.com/traffic.

Using Traffic information

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.

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 inci-

dents 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:

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:

3. Tap Done.

Unknown or undetermined situation.

Slow traffic.

Queueing traffic.

possible route.

3. 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.

You can now use the Home to work and Work to home buttons.

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.

following:

1. Tap the traffic sidebar to open the Traffic menu.
