TomTom Navigation App

Welcome to navigation with TomTom

This Section explains how you use the TomTom Navigation app. Important: For other TomTom BRIDGE device settings, and for instructions about other apps on the

device, please refer to the applicable User Documentation.

The TomTom 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 TomTom navigation app app to plan your first route. You'll see a quick introduction to TomTom services, which includes Traffic, Speed Cameras and Danger Zones. 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.

For information about what you see in the app, go to:

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

GPS reception

When you first start the TomTom navigation app app, it may need a few minutes to find your GPS position and show your current location on the map. Make sure you have GPS activated on your device.

Tip: The GPS settings are in the device's Settings app.

In areas where GPS reception is not possible, such as tunnels, your location may not be accurate. Important: The TomTom navigation app app cannot give you route instructions until it has received

location data. Some devices need a data connection to obtain a GPS location. If your device has no GPS reception, the TomTom navigation app app uses positioning information from

WiFi networks or mobile phone towers. This information is used for route planning and to determine your approximate location.

Connecting to TomTom services About TomTom services

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 status messages, for example Finding fastest route or Playing route preview.

Distances and the route bar

The distance ahead shown on the route bar depends on the length of your route, or the distance remaining on your route.

miles) at the bottom.

The route bar is constantly updated as you drive.

Advanced Lane Guidance

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

Advanced Lane Guidance helps you prepare for motorway 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 the Settings button in the Main Menu, then select Appearance. Switch off the Show previews of motorway 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 between 08.00 - 09.00 and in the afternoon between 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.

Running in the background

The TomTom navigation app app continues to run when it is in the background, for example when you are using another app on the TomTom BRIDGE device.

If the TomTom navigation app app is running in the background and you are driving on a planned route, you will continue to hear driving instructions.
