When your navigation device is in the mount, you should be able to
reach the device easily without leaning or stretching. The diagrams
show where you can safely attach the mount. You can attach the
mount to the windshield, side window or use the Adhesive Disk to
attach the mount to your dashboard. TomTom also offers alternative
mounting solutions for your TomTom navigation device.

TRAFFIC UPDATES
APPLIES TO: ALL TRAFFIC EDITION DEVICES
USING TRAFFIC INFORMATION
To view traffic information on your TomTom GO, connect the TomTom Car
Charger with Integrated Traffic Receiver to your GO.
Important: You will not recieve updates unless your car charger with integrated
traffic receiver is connected to your vehicle, via the charging socket.
The trafc 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 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.

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 re-plan
your trip so you can use the faster route.
You can also set your GO to automatically re-plan your trip whenever a faster
route is found. To apply this setting, tap Traffic settings in the Traffic menu.

A green bar means your voice is at the right level for your
device to hear your commands.
A red bar means your voice is too loud.
A grey bar means your voice is too quiet.
For some phrases, your device repeats the command, then asks you if the
command has been correctly recognized.
3. If the command is correct, say, “Yes.”
If the command is incorrect, say, “No” and when prompted, say the
command again after the beep .
Your device plans a route from your current position to your Home address.

TROUBLESHOOTING
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.
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.
