This Reference Guide explains all you need to know about your new TomTom GO navigation device. If you want a quick read of the essentials, we recommend that you read the Get going chapter. This

covers installation, switching on, setting up and planning your first route. After that, you will probably want to connect to TomTom services, and you can read all about that in

the Connecting to TomTom services chapter. For information about what you see on the device itself, go to:

 What's on the screen  Using gestures  Main menu

Tip: There are also frequently asked questions (FAQs) at tomtom.com/support. Select your product model from the list or enter a search term.

We hope you enjoy reading about and, most importantly, using your new navigation device!

Welcome to navigation with TomTom

Installing in your car

Use the mount provided with your device to install your TomTom GO device in your vehicle. Read the instructions about positioning your device before you install your device.

To install your device, do the following:

1. Connect the supplied USB cable to the mount. If the mount is integrated into your device, connect the USB cable to the device.

Note: Use ONLY the USB cable supplied with your device. Other USB cables may not work.

2. Connect the USB cable to the USB car charger and plug this into the power supply on your dashboard.

3. Choose the best smooth location, on your windshield or side window, to mount your TomTom GO device.

4. Make sure that both the suction cup on the mount and your windshield are clean and dry.

5. Press the suction cup of the mount firmly against your windshield.

6. Turn the rubber grip near the base of the mount in a clockwise direction until you feel it lock.

7. If your mount is not integrated into your device, place your device in the mount, making sure that it clicks into place.

Dashboard mount disks are available as part of a range of accessories for your device. For more information, go to tomtom.com/accessories.

Positioning the device

Be careful where you install your navigation device in your car. The device shouldn't block or interfere with any of the following:

 Your view of the road.  The controls in your car.  Your rearview mirrors.  The airbags.

You should be able to reach the device easily without leaning or stretching. You can attach the device to the windshield or side window or you can use a Dashboard Mount Disk to attach the mount to your dashboard.

Switching on and off

Switching your device on

Press the On/Off button until your device starts. If the device was off you see the map view. If your device was sleeping you see the last screen you were looking at.

Putting your device to sleep

To put your navigation device to sleep, press the On/Off button and then release it. You can also press the On/Off button for more than 2 seconds until you see the Sleep and Turn Off

buttons. Select Sleep to make the device sleep.

Get going

Tip: To put your navigation device to sleep whenever it is removed from the mount, go to Battery settings in the Settings Menu.

Switching your device off completely

To switch off your navigation device completely, you can do one of the following:  Press and hold the On/Off button for more than 2 seconds until you see the Sleep and Turn Off

buttons. Select Turn Off to switch off the device. Select the "back" button if you don't want to switch your device off.

 Press and hold the On/Off button for more than 5 seconds until the device switches off.

Setting up

Note: The language you choose will be used for all text on the screen. You can always change the

language later in Language and Units in the Settings menu. When you first switch on your device, you have to answer a few questions to set up the device.

Answer the questions by touching the screen.

GPS reception

When you first start your TomTom GO navigation device, the device may need a few minutes to determine your position. In future, your position will be found much faster.

To ensure good satellite reception, use your device outdoors and keep it upright. Large objects such as tall buildings can sometimes interfere with reception.

Important: QuickGPSfix contains information about satellite positions which helps your navigation device find your position faster. QuickGPSfix information is sent to Always Connected devices in real time and to Smartphone Connected devices when connected to TomTom services using your smartphone.

Planning a route to an address using search

Important: In the interest of safety and to avoid distractions while you are driving, you should always

plan a route before you start driving. To plan a route to an address using search, do the following:

1. Select the Main Menu button to open the Main Menu.

2. Select Search.

The search screen opens with the keyboard showing.

3. Use the keyboard to enter the name of the place you want to plan a route to.

Tip: If you press and hold a letter key on the keyboard, you get access to extra characters if they are available. For example, press and hold the letter "e" to access characters 3 e è é ê ë and more.

You can search for an address, town, city, postcode or mapcode. Tip: To search for a specific city you can use the city's state code or ZIP code. For example,

searching for York will return many results. If you search for York AL or York 36925 then that city will be at the top of the results. You can then search in the city.

Tip: When searching, the whole map is searched. If you want to change how the search is done, select the button to the right of the search box. You can then change where the search is done, for example, to being along the route or in a city.

4. As you type the address, suggestions are shown based on what you have entered. You can continue typing or select a suggestion.

Towns and roads are shown on the left, POIs are shown on the right.

Tip: To see more results, hide the keyboard or swipe the results list to scroll it. Tip: You can switch between seeing the results on the map or in a list by selecting the list/map

button:

5. Select an address suggestion.

6. Enter the house number if you have one and haven't entered it already.

7. Select Drive. Your navigation device plans a route then starts to guide you to your destination. As soon as you

start driving, the guidance view is shown automatically. Tip: If your destination is in a different time zone, you see a plus (+) or a minus (-) sign and the

time difference in hours and half hours in the arrival information panel. The estimated time of ar- rival is the local time at your destination.

Tip: You can add a stop to a route you have already planned. Tip: You can save a route using My Routes.

Sending information to TomTom

When you first start navigating or perform a full reset, your device asks for permission to collect some information about your use of the navigation device. The information is stored on the device until we retrieve it. We use it anonymously to improve our products and services.

1. In the Main Menu, select Settings.

2. Select System.

3. Select Your information.

4. Select the button to turn sending of information on or off.

Note: If you choose not to share this information, you will no longer receive our services. This is because services need to send the location of your device to TomTom in order to receive the traffic information related to where you are. The end date of your subscription remains the same, even if you do not share this information with us.

8. Route bar. The route bar is shown when you have planned a route.

The route bar

The route bar is shown when you have planned a route. It has an arrival information panel at the top, and a bar with symbols underneath.

Note: The distance ahead shown by the route bar is a maximum of 50 km or 30 miles. The bottom half of the route bar shows the first third of the route distance (up to 16 km or 10 miles from your location), while the top half shows the remaining two thirds (34 km or 20 miles).

The arrival information panel shows the following information:

 The estimated time that you will arrive at your destination.  The length of time to drive to the destination from your current location.  A parking button is shown near the destination flag when parking is

available near your destination. Tip: If your destination is in a different time zone, you see a plus (+)

or a minus (-) sign and the time difference in hours and half hours in the arrival information panel. The estimated time of arrival is the local time at your destination.

If you have stops on your route, select this panel to change between information about the next stop and your final destination.

You can choose the information you see on the arrival information panel. The bar uses symbols to show the following information:

 The next two stops on your route.  Gas stations that are directly on your route.  TomTom Traffic.  TomTom Safety Cameras and Danger Zones.

The symbols are in the order that they occur on your route. For traffic incidents, the symbol for each incident alternates between showing the type of incident and the delay in minutes. Select a symbol to see more information about a stop, an incident or a speed camera.

The total time delay due to traffic jams and other incidents on your route, including information provided by IQ Routes, is shown above the symbols.

For a complete list of incident types, see Traffic incidents. The bottom of the route bar represents your current location and shows

the distance to the next incident on your route.

Note: To make the route bar more readable some incidents may not be shown. These incidents will always be of minor importance and only cause short delays.

The route bar also shows messages about the status of your GO, for example Finding fastest route or Playing route preview.

Advanced Lane Guidance

Note: Lane guidance is not available for all junctions or in all countries.

Your TomTom GO navigation device helps you prepare for highway exits and junctions by showing the correct driving lane for your planned route.

As you approach an exit or junction, the lane you need is shown on the screen and in the instruction panel.

Tip: To close the lane image, select anywhere on the screen or press the back button.

To turn lane images off, select Settings in the Main Menu, then select Appearance. Switch off the

Show previews of highway exits setting.

Time-dependent speed limits

Some speed limits change depending on the time of day. For example, you may see the speed limit near schools decrease to 40 km/h or 25 mph in the morning from 08:00 - 09:00 and in the afternoon from 15:00 - 16:00. Where possible, the speed limit shown in the speed panel changes to show these variable speed limits.

Some speed limits change depending on driving conditions. For example, the speed limit will decrease if there is heavy traffic, or the weather conditions are bad. These variable speed limits are not shown in the speed panel. The speed shown in the speed panel is the maximum speed limit allowed in good driving conditions.

Important: The speed limit shown in the speed panel is only an indication. You must always obey the actual speed limit for the road you are on and the conditions you are driving in.

About postcodes

You can search using a ZIP code to get closer to the area in which you want to find an address or POI. When you search using a ZIP code, your results include all the streets in a city district, the whole town,

or the towns and villages within that ZIP code zone.

Note: If you search using a ZIP code you will not get a single address in your results.

You do not have to use the state or province postal abbreviation or first change the state or province because this is included in the ZIP code.

For example, a search for York in the whole map returns a long list of possible results. Adding a space followed by the area ZIP code narrows the results down to the York that you are looking for.

About mapcodes

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 recognize, remember and communicate. They are precise to a few meters, 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 PICK the

location you want to associate with your address, for example, the main entrance or entrance to a parking lot.

About voice control

Note: Voice control is not supported on all devices or in all languages.

Instead of selecting items on the screen to control your TomTom GO device, you can use your voice to control your device.

You can use voice control to control many of the navigation features on your device, or to change settings on your device. For example, you can change the screen to day colors or decrease the device 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 GO, 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

Voice control is on by default if it is supported by your chosen language. In map view or guidance view, say the wake-up phrase to start voice control. The wake-up phrase is

"Hey TomTom."

Tip: 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 the device 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.

Voice control

The voice control screen

1. Examples of what you can say. Tip: Say "All commands" to see a list of commands you can say. Alternatively, select Help in the

Main menu, then select Voice control and then select Which commands can I say?.

2. The status of voice control on your device. You can speak when your device says "I'm listening" and you see the microphone symbol in the left corner.

The status message tells you if voice control cannot understand what you said and gives you instructions about using voice control. At the same time, voice control reads aloud the message.

3. The microphone symbol shows you when you can speak:

 This symbol shows you that voice control is ready to listen. Speak when you hear the

beep.

 This symbol shows you that voice control is busy.

4. The microphone monitor. While you are speaking the microphone monitor shows how well voice control can hear your voice:

 A light blue bar means voice control can hear your voice.  A red bar means your voice is too loud for voice control to recognize individual words.  A dark blue bar means your voice is too quiet for voice control to recognize individual words.

Some tips for using voice control

You can help your device understand what you are saying by following these tips:

 Mount your device 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.  Try not to correct mistakes, for example "Four, oh I mean Five."

Important: Voice control on your device is specific for native speakers of the selected language who have a neutral accent. If you have a strong local or foreign accent, voice control might not understand everything you say.

What you can use voice control for

You can say the following commands when voice control is active:

Global commands

 "Help" and "Cancel"

Navigation and route

 "Go home" and "Travel via home"  "Go to a parking lot" and "Go to a gas station"  "Go to a city center"  "Display My Places"  "Recent destinations"  "Go via a recent destination", and "Go via a saved place"  "Report safety camera"  "Add current location to My Places"  "Clear route"

Device settings

 "Volume 70%", "Volume up", and "Volume down"  "Mute", and "Sound on"  "Instructions on", and "Instructions off"  "Day colors", and "Night colors"  "2D view", and "3D view"  "Zoom in", and "Zoom out"

Tip: To view the 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.

Saying commands in different ways

Your device recognizes 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 gas station.  "Cancel" or "Delete" instead of "Clear" when you want to clear your current route.
