TomTom NAVIGATOR Chapter 1 Before You Start... Before You Start... Installation If you have purchased TomTom NAVIGATOR on a TomTom memory card, insert the memory card in your device. Then go to step 4 below. If you are installing TomTom NAVIGATOR from a DVD do the following: 1. Connect your device to your computer, or insert the memory card you are using into a card reader/writer attached to your computer. 2. Insert the DVD in your computer. 3. Follow the instructions in the setup program. When setup is finished, disconnect your device from your computer or insert the memory card into your device. 4. Switch on your GPS receiver. 5. Launch TomTom NAVIGATOR by tapping or selecting the TomTom button in your device menu. You have to answer a few questions to set up TomTom NAVIGATOR. Answer the questions by tapping the screen or by using the joystick. Note: TomTom GPS receivers connect automatically when you start TomTom NAVIGATOR. If you are using a different GPS receiver, refer to the receiver’s user manual for instructions. Tap or select buttons On devices with a touchscreen you tap buttons. On devices without a touchscreen you select buttons. This user guide always refers to tapping buttons. On mobile phones, many buttons are numbered. You can select those buttons using the number keys on your phone. Note: Depending on your device, the images shown in this manual may look different to the screen on your device. Activation You will be asked how you want to activate the map that comes with NAVIGATOR. There are two ways to do this: • Automatically To activate automatically, your device must have an active wireless data connection (GPRS, EDGE, UMTS or CDMA). 2 Tap Automatic, then enter your product code. The product code is printed on the product code card that is included with your product. TomTom NAVIGATOR will connect to TomTom using the wireless data connection and activate the map. • Manually To activate a map manually, do the following: 1. Tap Manual. 2. Go to this website: www.ttcode.com 3. Follow the instructions on this page to get an activation code. 4. Enter the activation code on your device to activate the map. Once you have answered the questions and activated your map, NAVIGATOR displays the Driving View. The Driving View is shown in black and white until NAVIGATOR locates your current position. For more information about the Driving View, see Driving View on page 10. Locating your current position Your GPS receiver must be outdoors to locate your current position. The first time you start NAVIGATOR, it can take up to 5 minutes to find your current position. If it takes longer than 5 minutes, make sure that you are in an open place without tall buildings or trees around you. In the future, your position will be found much faster, normally within a few seconds. Once NAVIGATOR has located your current position, the Driving View is shown in full color and shows your position on the map. Backup TomTom NAVIGATOR It’s always a good idea to make a backup of the contents of your memory card. You can make a backup using TomTom HOME. For more information about TomTom HOME, see Using TomTom HOME on page 40. Drive safely Now you are ready to get going. When you start to use NAVIGATOR, make sure you always drive safely by using the Safety preferences in the Preferences menu. You can choose to use the safety lock. If the safety lock is enabled, only a few buttons and features are available while you are driving. When you are stationary, all the buttons and features are available. You can also choose to turn the map display off. For more information, see Safety preferences on page 29. Note: TomTom NAVIGATOR does not transmit your position. You can, however, send your position to TomTom Buddies. For more information, visit www.tomtom.com/plus Note: Some vehicles have a heat reflective shield embedded in the windshield that may prevent TomTom NAVIGATOR from locating your current position. If this is a problem in your vehicle, try placing your GPS receiver in your rear window. 3 Chapter 2 Making your first trip Making your first trip Planning a route with TomTom NAVIGATOR is very simple. To plan your first route, follow the steps below. Note: You should always plan your journeys before you start driving. It is dangerous to plan routes when you are already moving. 1. Tap the screen to bring up the main menu. 2. Tap Navigate to... For your first journey, we will navigate to an address. 3. Tap Address. When you enter an address, you can choose from four options: • City center - tap this button to set your destination as the center of a city or town. • Street and house number - tap this button to set an exact address as your destination. 4 • Postcode - tap this button to enter a postcode as your destination. Note: You can enter a zip code for any country. In the UK and the Netherlands, zip codes are detailed enough to identify a house on their own. In other countries you can enter a zip code to identify a town or area. You will then have to enter a street and address. • Crossing or intersection - tap this button to set your destination as the point where two streets meet. For your first trip, we will enter an exact address. 4. Tap Street and house number. 5. Start to type the name of the town where you want to go. As you type, the names of the towns that match what you have typed are shown. 6. Start to type the name of the street. As with the name of the town, the names of the streets that match what you have typed are shown. 7. Now enter the house number of your destination and then tap Done. 8. NAVIGATOR asks you whether you need to arrive at a particular time. 5 Tap YES to enter an arrival time. NAVIGATOR shows you whether you will arrive on time. For more information, see Arrival times on page 6. The route is then calculated by your TomTom NAVIGATOR. 9. When the route has been calculated, tap Done. TomTom NAVIGATOR will immediately start guiding you to your destination with spoken instructions and visual instructions on the screen. Note: Before you can plan a route in this way, TomTom NAVIGATOR must first locate your current position. Arrival times Tap YES to enter an arrival time. Your NAVIGATOR calculates your arrrival 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 NAVIGATOR shows you that you will arrive 30 minutes early, you can wait and leave in 30 minutes time, rather than arrive early. 6 Your arrival time is constantly recalculated during your trip. The status bar shows whether you will arrive on time or 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. What are the other navigation options? When you tap Navigate to..., you can set your destination in many ways, not just by entering the address. The other options are listed below: Tap this button to navigate to your Home location.

For more information, see Preferences on page 29. 11 Chapter 5 Finding alternative routes Finding alternative routes Once you have planned a route, you may want to change something about the route, without changing your destination. Why change the route? Maybe for one of these reasons: • You can see a roadblock or a line of traffic ahead. • You want to travel via a particular location, to pick someone up, stop for lunch or fill up with gas. • You want to avoid a difficult intersection or a road you don’t like. Tap Find alternative... in the Main Menu to change the route that is currently planned. Find alternative... Then tap one of the options below. Tap this button to calculate an alternative to the route already planned. Calculate alternative Your NAVIGATOR will look for another route from your current location to your destination. If you decide you would prefer to use the original route after all, tap Recalculate original. Why would I need to do this? Apart from the roads near your position and near your destination, the new route will use totally different roads to reach your destination. This is an easy way of calculating a totally different route. Tap this button if you can see a roadblock or a line of traffic ahead. You then have to choose how much of the route ahead you want to avoid. Avoid roadblock Choose from the different options: 100m, 500m, 2000m, 5000m. Your NAVIGATOR will recalculate your route avoiding the section of the route for the distance you selected. Don’t forget that once a new route is calculated, you may have to turn off the road you are on very soon. If the roadblock suddenly clears, tap Recalculate original to return to your original route. 12 Tap this button to change your route so that it passes a particular location, perhaps to pick someone up on the way. Travel via... You choose the location you want to pass in the same way as you choose a destination. So you can select from all the same options: for example, Address, Favorite, Point of Interest and Point on map. Your NAVIGATOR will calculate a new route to your destination that passes the location you chose. Using this button, you can only travel via one location. If you want to pass more than one, use an Itinerary. For more information, see Itinerary planning on page 26. Tap this button to return to the original route without any deviations for roadblocks or to travel via particular locations. Recalculate original Tap this button to avoid a part of the route. Use this button if you see that your route includes a road or junction you don’t like, or which is well-known for traffic problems. Avoid part of route You then choose the road you want to avoid from a list of the roads on your route. Tap this button to recalculate your route so that it avoids traffic problems as much as possible. Your NAVIGATOR will check if there are any traffic problems on your route and work out the best route to avoid the problems. Minimize traffic delays For more information about using TomTom Traffic, see TomTom Traffic on page 36. 13 Chapter 6 Using the Map Using the Map Every time you use your TomTom NAVIGATOR to plan a route, you are using the map.

To use TomTom Traffic you must have a mobile phone with Bluetooth and a wireless data connection, for example, GPRS, EDGE, UMTS, CDMA. TomTom Traffic takes the most up-to-date information from the best local sources. Take advantage of the free trial to try TomTom Traffic. For more information, see the TomTom PLUS leaflet. Note: TomTom Traffic is not available in all countries or areas. Visit www.tomtom.com/plus to check availability in your country.

Using Traffic When TomTom Traffic is enabled the Traffic bar is shown on the right-hand side of the Driving View, as shown below: 36 TomTom Traffic will immediately try to retrieve the latest traffic information. Note: TomTom Traffic retrieves traffic information from TomTom using a wireless data connection on your mobile phone. You must be connected to your phone and you must have a wireless data subscription with your mobile network operator. Updating traffic information With TomTom Traffic, there are two ways to update the traffic information: • Tap Update traffic info in the Traffic menu. • Set Traffic to be updated automatically at regular intervals. To do this, tap Change Traffic preferences in the Traffic menu. Select Automatically update traffic info while on route, then tap Done. You are then asked if you want to limit how often Traffic is updated. If you choose not to limit how often Traffic is updated, then TomTom will send updated traffic information to your NAVIGATOR as soon as it is available. If you choose to limit how often Traffic is updated, you are asked to set a time. TomTom saves this time limit and sends new traffic information at the interval you set. If there is no new traffic information, then TomTom will not send any information to your NAVIGATOR. This saves you money by not using your wireless data connection when there is no new information. Using traffic information Having up-to-date traffic information can help you to reduce your travel time. Whenever you plan a route, the latest traffic updated you received from TomTom is taken into account by your NAVIGATOR when it plans the route. Your NAVIGATOR can also recalculate your route if the traffic situation changes after you start a trip: 1. Tap Change Traffic preferences in the Traffic menu. 2. Select Automatically optimize route after every update. After your NAVIGATOR gets new traffic information, it will automatically optimize your route.

Global Positioning System (GPS) In order to navigate you to your destination, your TomTom NAVIGATOR must know where you are now. To find your current position, your TomTom NAVIGATOR uses the Global Positioning System (GPS). GPS is available for free and without subscription. GPS uses satellites to transmit signals to GPS receivers. Using the GPS signal, your TomTom NAVIGATOR can work out where you are and how fast you are going. GPS signals work in all weather, anywhere in the world. Note: Your TomTom NAVIGATOR 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 Maps Once your NAVIGATOR knows where you are and you have told it where you want to go, it uses the digital map on the memory card to work out the best route to your destination. 42 Chapter 15 TomTom Limited Warranty TomTom Limited Warranty WARRANTOR U.S. and Canadian Purchases: If you have made your purchase in the United States or Canada, this Limited Warranty is granted by and this Limitation of Liability is stipulated for the benefit of TomTom Inc., 150 Baker Avenue Extension, Concord Massachusetts 01742 (United States of America).
