Welcome to navigation with TomTom

This User Manual explains everything you need to know about your new TomTom GO Camper.

To find out what your device can do for you and how to search for camping POIs, have a look at Features.

To install your device and get started, read Get going and What's on the screen.

To connect to TomTom services, look at the TomTom services chapter. You can use TomTom services even on the routes you drive every day.

Once you've had a look around your new TomTom GO Camper, connect it to Wi-Fi® and see if any new updates are available to install. We're always improving our maps and software, so check regularly for updates.

In Quick Search and Step by step search, you can read all about how you can search for addresses, Points of Interest and Contacts. Both types of search give the same result, so choose the type of search that you find easiest to use.

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 TomTom GO Camper!

To install your TomTom GO Camper, do the following:

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

Note: Use ONLY the USB cable supplied with your TomTom GO Camper. 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.

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 TomTom GO Camper, place your TomTom GO Camper in the mount, making sure that it clicks into place.

Dashboard adhesive disks are available as part of a range of accessories for your TomTom GO Camper. For more information, go to tomtom.com/accessories.

Positioning the device

Be careful where you install your TomTom GO Camper. The TomTom GO Camper shouldn't block or interfere with any of the following:

Your view of the road.

The controls in your vehicle.

Your rear-view mirrors.

The airbags.

You should be able to reach your TomTom GO Camper easily without leaning or stretching. In a car, you can attach your TomTom GO Camper to the windscreen or side window or you can use a Dashboard Mount Disk to attach the mount to your dashboard.

Switching on and off

Sending your device to sleep

To send 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.

Tip: To send your navigation device to sleep when the USB cable is unplugged or 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.

Safety Notice

Some navigation devices contain a GSM/GPRS module which can interfere with electrical devices such as cardiac pacemakers, hearing aids and aviation equipment.

Interference with these devices may endanger the health or life of you or others.

If your device includes a GSM/GPRS module, do not use it near unprotected electrical units or in areas where the use of mobile telephones is prohibited, such as hospitals and aircraft.

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 TomTom GO Camper, you have to answer a few questions to set it up. Answer the questions by touching the screen.

GPS reception

When you first start your TomTom GO Camper, it 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 TomTom GO Camper 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 TomTom GO Camper find your position faster. QuickGPSfix information is downloaded whenever your device is connected to the internet using any method (Wi-Fi, GPRS, smartphone or USB).

Sending information to TomTom

When you first start navigating or you have reset your TomTom GO Camper, your TomTom GO Camper asks for permission to collect some information about your use of the navigation device. The information is stored on your TomTom GO Camper until we retrieve it. We use it anonymously to improve our products and services. If you use our services, we will also use your location information to deliver the services to you.

You can change whether you send this information with us at any time by doing the following:

1.In the Main Menu, select the Settings button.

2.Select System.

3.Select Your information & privacy.

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

Note: If you choose not to send location information to us, 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 send this information to us.

You can find current and more detailed information at tomtom.com/privacy.

Memory card slot

Some TomTom navigation devices have a memory card slot that is located on the side or bottom of the device.

Before you use the memory card slot, make sure that your navigation device has the latest software version installed by selecting Updates & New Items in the Settings menu.

When your TomTom GO Camper is up to date, you can use a memory card as extra storage space to store downloaded maps or to store routes and tracks on your device.

Important: Routes and tracks cannot be stored on the same memory card as maps because different memory card formatting is used.

Device not starting

In rare cases, your TomTom GO Camper device may not start correctly or may stop responding to your taps.

First, check that the battery is charged. To charge the battery, connect your TomTom GO Camper device to the car charger. It can take 3 - 5 hours to fully charge the battery depending on the type of device.

Important: Do not charge your device using your vehicle's own USB port because it is not powerful enough.

If this does not solve the problem, you can perform a reset. To do this, press and hold the On/Off button until your TomTom GO Camper begins to restart.

Charging your device

The battery in your TomTom GO Camper charges when you connect it to your TomTom vehicle charger, to your computer or to a USB Home Charger.

Important: Do not charge your device using your vehicle's own USB port because it is not powerful enough.

You are warned when the battery level is low or critical. You lose your connection to some TomTom services when the battery level is low or critical. When the battery is empty, your TomTom GO Camper goes into sleep mode.

Important: On device models START 42/52, START 40/50/60, and GO 51/61, the screen intentionally dims when you connect your device to your computer. The screen also dims if you use a non-TomTom charger that does not provide enough power when charging.

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

Caring for your TomTom GO Camper

It is important to take care of your device:

Do not open the casing of your device under any circumstances. Doing so may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.

Wipe or dry the screen of your device using a soft cloth. Do not use any liquid cleaners.

Wi-Fi connection

About Wi-Fi®

The easiest way to manage your maps, software and all your device content is over a Wi-Fi connection.

Your device can be updated using Wi-Fi without the need to connect to a computer. It remembers previously connected Wi-Fi networks so you can keep your device up to date when you are in range of that network.

Before you begin, make sure that you have access to an unrestricted Wi-Fi network, such as a personal home network. Please be aware that updating over a public Wi-Fi network, such as in an airport or hotel, is not recommended because the updates can be large and the network connection may not be stable.

Tip: If you don’t have access to a Wi-Fi network or your Wi-Fi network is slow or not stable, you can use a USB connection to update using MyDrive Connect on your computer.

Connecting to Wi-Fi

Important: Wi-Fi connections that require a web sign-in are not supported on the TomTom GO Camper. These types of Wi-Fi connections are frequently found in public places, for example in hotels, shops and restaurants.

To connect to a Wi-Fi network, do the following:

1.Select Settings in the Main Menu, then select Wi-Fi.

You see a list of available Wi-Fi networks and saved Wi-Fi networks that are currently out of range.

Tip: Scroll down to go to the list of out-of-range saved networks.

2.Select the Wi-Fi network that you want to connect to. If the network is secure enter the password. If no password is required, you are connected straight away.

Tip: For advanced options for a Wi-Fi network see Wi-Fi in the Settings menu.

3.Select Done, then select Connect.

It may take a few moments for your device to connect to the Wi-Fi network. If it takes too long, please check the identity and password you used for the Wi-Fi network.

Once your device has successfully connected to the Wi-Fi network, you see the status Connected under the Wi-Fi network name.

Forgetting a Wi-Fi network

To forget a Wi-Fi network from your list of available networks do the following:

1.Select Settings in the Main Menu, then select Wi-Fi.

You see a list of available Wi-Fi networks and saved Wi-Fi networks that are currently out of range.

Tip: Scroll down to go to the list of out-of-range saved networks.

2.Select the Wi-Fi network that you want to forget.

3.Select Modify then select Forget.

Your device is disconnected from the Wi-Fi network.

Note: The Wi-Fi network still appears in the list, but your device will not automatically connect to it.
