Welcome to navigation with TomTom
This Section explains how you use the TomTom Navigation app.
Important: For other TomTom BRIDGE Hub settings and operation instructions, and for instructions
about other apps installed on TomTom BRIDGE Hub, please refer to the applicable User Documentation.
The 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 navigation app to plan your first route. You'll see a quick introduction to
TomTom services, which includes Traffic and Speed Cameras. 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.

Important: The navigation app cannot give you route instructions until it has received location data.
19
What's on the TomTom Navigation app screen
The map view
The map view is shown when you have no planned route. Your actual location is shown as soon as
your device has found your GPS location.
You can use map view in the same way as you might look at a traditional paper map. You can move
around the map using gestures, and zoom using the zoom buttons.
Important: Everything on the map is interactive including the route and the map symbols - try
selecting something and see what it does!
Tip: To open a pop-up menu for an item on the map, for example a route or a POI, select the
item to open the menu. To select a location on the map, select and hold the location until the

space followed by the postcode narrows the results down to the York that you are looking for.
About mapcodes
QUICK SEARCH ONLY
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.

My Routes
About My Routes
My Routes provides an easy way to save and retrieve routes and tracks.
You may want to use My Routes in one or more of the following situations:




While working - Your job involves driving several routes with multiple stops on a daily basis.
Your routes can change and you need to be flexible and be able to change the order of your
stops or change the planned route.
While on holiday - You are going on holiday and want to plan and save a route. Your route
includes scenic roads, stops at various hotels, and other places like tourist attractions.
While touring - You want to follow a tour you have downloaded from the Internet, or drive a
route another user has shared with you.
While commuting to work - You want to add one or two regular stops between home and work.
Your route back home in the evening is the reverse of your route to work in the morning.
Routes can be created and saved on your TomTom navigation app or in MyDrive. You can also use a
tool such as Tyre Pro to create and edit routes and tracks.
About routes and tracks
The term "route" includes two types of route from one place to another:

Routes have a starting point and a destination, and perhaps some stops. Your device calculates
your preferred type of route between all these points, for example, the fastest or most economical, and uses Traffic. You can edit a route by, for example, adding stops or moving the
starting point. Routes can be imported but cannot be exported from your device.

Tracks also have a starting point and a destination, but have no stops. Your route follows the
track as closely as possible, ignoring your preferred type of route and traffic conditions, and any
traffic on the route. You can only edit tracks using tools such as Tyre Pro. Tracks can be imported and exported from your device.
Tip: Tracks have a dotted arrow!
Important: Routes and tracks cannot be stored on the same memory card as maps because different
memory card formatting is used.
Saving a route
1. Plan a route using the steps described in Planning a route.

Recording and sharing routes
About GPX and ITN files
GPX files (GPS exchange format)
GPX files contain a very detailed recording of where you have been on your track, including any
off-road locations. GPX files become tracks after import.
Using GPX files
There are several things you can do with your GPX file:


Use a tool such as Tyre Pro to view your track file.
Export to a memory card or directly to your computer, then use your computer to view the file
using software such as Google Earth.
Note: While viewing your recording, you may notice that the recorded GPS locations do not
always correspond with the roads. This can happen for several reasons. Firstly, your device
tries to keep the files small and this can cause a slight loss of data precision. Secondly, your
device records the actual data from the GPS chip for an accurate representation of where
you’ve been, rather than what you see on your screen. Thirdly, the software with which you
view the recording may have the maps misaligned.

Share the file with friends by exporting it.
Note: Tracks can be imported and exported.
ITN files (TomTom's own Itinerary file format)
An ITN file contains less detail than a GPX file. An ITN file can contain a maximum of 255 locations
which is enough to recreate a route accurately. ITN files become routes after import.
Using ITN files
There are several things you can do with your ITN file:


You can import an ITN file onto your TomTom BRIDGE Hub so you can travel that same route
again and get navigation instructions.
Use tools such as Tyre Pro to view your route.
Note: Routes can be imported but cannot exported.
Importing routes and tracks
Important: You can only transfer route and track files if a file explorer app is installed on your
TomTom BRIDGE Hub.
You can import the following file types:


GPX files - these become tracks after import.
ITN files - these become routes after import.
Tip: ITN files are TomTom itinerary files.
You can find GPX and ITN files on the Internet then transfer these files to My Places by transferring
the files to your device.
To import a route or track, do the following:
1. Using a file explorer app, select the file you want to import.
80
2. Use the file explorer app's send or share function to select the TomTom Navigation app.
3. The TomTom Navigation app imports the route or track.
4. When the route or track is successfully imported, select OK.
You can find you route or track in My Routes.
Recording a track
You can record a track while you drive, with or without a route planned. After recording, you can
then export your track so that you can share it with others or view it using tools such as Tyre Pro.
To record a track, do the following:
1. In the Main Menu, select Start Recording.
A red dot appears in the lower right-hand corner of the screen and initially flashes 3 times to
show that you are now recording. The dot remains on the screen until you stop recording.
2. To stop recording, select Stop Recording in the Main Menu.
3. Enter a name for your track or you can leave it at the suggested date-time combination.
4. Select Add or Finished, depending on the device you are using.
5. Your track is saved in My Routes.
Note: You can export tracks as GPX files and save them on a memory card for sharing with
others.
Exporting tracks from the TomTom Navigation app
You can export tracks as GPX files and save them on the TomTom navigation app. Using a file
explorer app or your computer, you can then share the files with others.
Important: Not every TomTom BRIDGE Hub has a file explorer app.
Note: Currently, you can export only tracks from your TomTom navigation app.
To export one or more tracks, do the following:
1. In the Main Menu, select My Routes.
2. Select Share Tracks.
Tip: Alternatively, when in map view, select a track and select Share Track from the pop-up
menu.
3. Select one or more tracks from your list for export.
Tip: To select or deselect all tracks for export, select the pop-up menu button.
4. Select Share.
You see the messages Exporting routes then Routes saved successfully.
Open the file explorer app or connect your device to a computer. You can find the track files in
the TomTom navigation app internal storage in the Routes folder.
Tip: You can share the track files using Bluetooth, a computer, or a memory card.

Voice control (Speak&Go)
About voice control
Note: Voice control is only available when your TomTom BRIDGE Hub is in the dock, the dock has
power, and the microphone is connected.
Instead of selecting items on the screen to control your TomTom BRIDGE Hub, you can use your
voice to control your TomTom navigation app.
You can use voice control to control many of the navigation features on your TomTom navigation
app, or to change settings. For example, you can change the screen to day colours, avoid a blocked
road or decrease the volume just by using your voice.
Voice control is active in the map view, the guidance view, and the voice control screen.
Important: Voice control requires a voice that speaks street names. When there is no voice that
speaks street names installed and selected on your TomTom BRIDGE Hub, this feature is not
available.
To select a voice that reads aloud street names, select Voices in the Settings menu, then select
Choose a voice and select a Computer voice that reads aloud street names.
Starting voice control
In map view or guidance view, say the wake-up phrase to start voice control. The default wake-up
phrase is "Hello TomTom", but you can make your own wake-up phrase.
Tip: Voice control and the wake-up phrase are ON by default. You can switch the wake-up phrase
on or off in the Settings menu.
Alternatively, you can select Voice Control in the Main Menu:
When voice control is ready to use, you see the voice control screen and your TomTom navigation
app says "I'm listening". Speak when you hear the beep.
Note: If the volume control is set to 20% or lower, the volume automatically changes to 50% when
you start voice control.
Making your own wake-up phrase
You can make your own wake-up phrase to start Voice Control. You can choose any words you like
to make your wake-up phrase fun or easy to say.
To make your own wake-up phrase, do the following:
1. Select Voice Control in the Settings menu.
2. Select Change the wake-up phrase.
3. Enter your wake-up phrase using the keyboard.
Your phrase should have at least three syllables. Don't use a phrase that you often say or hear.
The indicator shows how good your phrase is:

Red means your phrase won't work.

Orange means your phrase might work.

Green means your phrase is good.
82
4. Select Hear it to listen to your wake-up phrase.
5. Select Done then Yes to save your wake-up phrase.
Your new wake-up phrase is ready to use. Start Voice Control and try it.


A dark blue bar means your voice is too quiet for voice control to recognise individual words.

83
Some tips for using voice control
You can help your TomTom navigation app understand what you are saying by following these tips:






Mount your TomTom navigation app about an arm's length in front of you, away from speakers
or air vents.
Reduce background noise such as voices or the radio. If there is excessive road noise, you may
need to speak in the direction of the microphone.
Speak fluently and naturally as though speaking to a friend.
When saying an address, try not to pause between parts of the address or add extra words.
Say "number one" or "number two" and not "one " or "two" when selecting an item from a list
such as a house number.
Try not to correct mistakes, for example "Number four, oh I mean number five".
Important: Voice control on your TomTom navigation app is specifically for native speakers of the
selected language who have a neutral accent. If you have a strong local or foreign accent, voice
control may not understand everything that you say.
What you can use voice control for
To view the complete list of available commands, select Help in the Main Menu, then Voice control
and then Which commands can I say?.
When voice control is on, you can also say "All commands" to view the list of available commands.

84
Saying commands in different ways
Your TomTom navigation app recognises many more words than just the ones you see in the list of
commands, so try some of your own words. You can say other words that have the same meaning,
for example you can say the following words:
"OK", "Correct" or "Right" instead of "Yes" when you want to confirm what you said.
"Navigate to", "Look for" or "Nearest" instead of "Drive to" when you want to drive to a petrol
station.
"Cancel" or "Delete" instead of "Clear" when you want to clear your current route.

operation of your wireless product may interfere with the medical device.
ISO7637
ISO7637 pulse 1 represents the negative voltage transient produced during switching of a higher
current inductive load that shares the same circuit with TomTom Bridge Hub. Pulse 2b simulates
transients from D.C. motors acting as generators after the ignition is switched off. In practice, such
pulses very seldom occur. The TomTom Bridge Hub will reboot due to the pulse and return to
normal operation afterwards.

Special Note Regarding Driving in California, Minnesota and Other States
California Vehicle Code Section 26708 which applies to those driving within the State of California
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 windshield.
Many other states have enacted laws which restrict the placement of any object or material on the
windshield, side or rear window that obstructs a driver's clear view of the road. It is incumbent upon
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 alternative mounting system (e.g. dashboard or air vents). See tomtom.com for more
information about these mounting options.
