How Does Navigation Work?
26
EN
How 
Does 
Navigat
ion 
Work? Global Positioning System (GPS)
In order to navigate you to your destination, 
your TomTom GO must know where you are 
now. To find your current position, your 
TomTom GO uses the Global Positioning 
System (GPS). GPS is available for free and 
without subscription.
GPS uses satellites to transmit signals to GPS 
receivers. Your TomTom GO has a built-in 
GPS receiver. Using the GPS signal, your 
TomTom GO can work out where you are and 
how fast you are going. GPS signals work in all 
weather, anywhere in the world.
Finding Your Position Faster
If you use your TomTom GO in combination 
with TomTom HOME, your GO will download 
information about where the GPS satellites are 
going to be for the next 24 hours.
With this information, your GO will be able to 
find your current position very quickly when it 
is first switched on.
Maps
Once your GO knows where you are and you 
have told it where you want to go, it uses the 
digital map on the memory card or hard disk to 
work out the best route to your destination. 
Note: Your TomTom GO does not transmit your 
position, so others cannot use it to track you 
while you are driving. You can however send 
your position to TomTom Buddies. For more 
information, visit www.tomtom.com/plus

hardware with which this Limited Warranty is included ("Hardware") that the 
Hardware will be free from defects in workmanship and materials under 
normal use ("Defects") for a period of two (2) years from the date that the 
Hardware was first purchased by you ("Warranty Period"). During the 
Warranty Period the Hardware will be repaired or replaced at TomTom's 
choice ("Limited Warranty") without charge to you for either parts or labour. 
This Limited Warranty covers the replacement of the Hardware only. If the 
Hardware is repaired after the Warranty Period has expired, the Warranty 
Period for the repair will expire six (6) months after the date of repair.

physical damage to the surface of the Hardware. This Limited Warranty does 
not cover any software that may accompany or be installed on the Hardware.
HOW TO MAKE A WARRANTY CLAIM

explain the Defect and to obtain an RMA number (Return Materials 
Authorization) if necessary. You must return the Hardware during the 
Warranty Period, along with an explanation of the Defect, to the address 
provided to you by TomTom. If a defect arises and a valid claim under this 
Limited Warranty is received by TomTom after the first one hundred and 
eighty (180) days of the Warranty Period, TomTom is entitled to charge you 
for any reasonable shipping and handling costs made in connection with the 
repair or replacement of the Hardware. You must comply with any other return 
procedures stipulated by TomTom, if any.
YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS
4) This Limited Warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also 
have other rights which vary from state to state and jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
5) If any part of this Limited Warranty is held to be invalid or unenforceable, 
the remainder of the Limited Warranty shall nonetheless remain in full force 
and effect.
6) This Limited Warranty is the only express warranty made to you and is 
provided in lieu of any other express warranties or similar obligations (if any) 
created by any advertising, documentation, packaging, or other 
communications.
7) Except for the Limited Warranty and to the maximum extent permitted by 
applicable law, TomTom and its suppliers provide the Hardware "AS IS AND 
WITH ALL FAULTS", and hereby disclaim all other warranties and conditions, 
whether express, implied or statutory, including, but not limited to, any (if any) 
implied warranties, duties or conditions of: merchantability, non-infringement, 
quiet enjoyment, system integration, satisfactory quality, fitness for a 
particular purpose, reliability or availability, accuracy or completeness of

implied warranty as to conformity with description. If applicable law requires 
any implied warranties with respect to the Hardware, all such warranties are 
limited in duration to ninety (90) days. Some states and/or jurisdictions do not 
allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above may not 
apply to you.
8) This Limited Warranty cannot be transferred to any other person.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
9) Neither TomTom nor its suppliers shall be liable to you or to any third party 
for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special or exemplary damages 
(including in each case, but not limited to, damages for the inability to use the 
equipment or access data, loss of data, loss of business, loss of profits, 
business interruption or the like) arising out of the use of or inability to use the 
Hardware even if TomTom has been advised of the possibility of such 
damages. 
10) Notwithstanding any damages that you might incur for any reason 
whatsoever (including, without limitation, all damages referenced herein and 
all direct or general damages in contract or anything else), the entire liability 
of TomTom and any of its suppliers shall be limited to the amount actually paid 
by you for the Hardware.
11) Notwithstanding the above, neither party's liability for death or personal 
injury resulting from its own negligence shall be limited.
12) Some states and/or jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of 
incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions 
may not apply to you.
