Common Questions

Common Questions

Why can’t I find navigator on my Home screen?

The expansion card containing TomTom Navigator must be inserted
in your device for you to see the icon on the Home screen. When you
insert the card, the navigator icon appears in alphabetical order on
the Home screen.

What's the best way to shut down when I'm finished using
navigator?

There is no preferred way to shut down, but here’s what we suggest:
(1) return to the Home screen, (2) wait for the blue light on the GPS
receiver to return to a slow blink (once every three seconds), (3) turn
off your device, and (4) turn off the GPS receiver.

How do I add more maps to the expansion card on which navigator
is installed?

First make sure that the expansion card has sufficient space for
additional maps. Then insert CD#1 into your computer CD drive, and
select Add maps. Follow the onscreen instructions to install the maps
onto the expansion card.

NOTE

to copy map files from the CD to the expansion card on which you
have TomTom Navigator installed. This method is faster than
synchronizing.

GPS navigator by palmOne 29

If your computer has a memory card reader, you can use it

Common Questions

What if I can’t fit all the maps I need onto one expansion card?

If you don’t have sufficient space on one expansion card for all the
maps you need, simply install TomTom Navigator and the remaining
maps onto another card. Use the same activation code for all
installations.

NOTE

The TomTom Navigator software runs from the expansion
card—it is not copied to your device. To use TomTom Navigator, a
card must contain a copy of the navigator software and at least one
map.

What is the “passkey” I’m asked to enter when setting up the GPS
receiver?

The passkey for the GPS receiver is 6268. You should only need to
enter the passcode the first time you establish a Bluetooth
connection between your device and the receiver.

Should I keep my device and the GPS receiver connected to the car
charger while they are in use?

It’s a good idea to keep both your device and the GPS receiver
connected while using them in the car. This prevents the batteries
from getting too low for the Bluetooth connection to function.

30 GPS navigator by palmOne

Common Questions

How do I use another voice on navigator?

To use a different voice on navigator, you first need to install another
voice onto the navigator expansion card. Insert CD#1 into your
computer CD drive and select Add voice. Follow the onscreen
instructions to install additional voices onto the expansion card.
Insert the card into your device and start navigator. Tap the screen to
display the main menu. Select Change Preferences, and then select
Change Voice . Select the voice you want to use.

Can I use TomTom Navigator and maps on more than one palmOne
device?

You can use TomTom Navigator and maps on two palmOne devices.
You must wait one week after installing TomTom Navigator on the
first device before you can install it on a second device. During the
installation process, you will be instructed to go to the

www.ttcode.com

website to receive the activation code for the
second device. Be sure to write down the activation code and
indicate which device it is for. The activation code links the navigator
software and maps to a specific device, so each device must have its
own set of navigator cards. You cannot use the same cards in both
devices.

Can I view navigator in full-screen mode on my Tungsten™ T3
handheld?

To use the Tungsten T3 handheld in full-screen mode you need to
install a software patch which is available from the support section of
the TomTom website, w

ww.tomtom.com.
