TomTom app
Getting started1.
Get-
ting
started To start the TomTom app, tap the icon in your iPhone.
The language used for buttons and menus in the TomTom app is the same as the language
you selected in the iPhone settings.
Note: There are some languages that are not supported by the TomTom app. In this case,
US English is used for buttons and menus in the application.
Updating
If you have a previous version of the TomTom app on your iPhone or iPod touch, you need
to update it. To do this, go to the Apple App Store and download your free update before
continuing to read this guide.
GPS reception
The iPod touch and some models of the iPhone do not include a GPS receiver. To use
these devices for navigation, you need to use them with a GPS accessory, such as the
TomTom car kit.
The car kit includes a GPS receiver, a speaker for playing navigation instructions, and a
microphone for making hands-free calls while you are driving. We recommend using the
TomTom car kit with all iPhones and the iPod touch.
For more information, go to tomtom.com/iphone.
When you first start the TomTom app, it may need a few minutes to determine your GPS
position and show your current position on the map.
To make sure you have good GPS reception, you should use your device outdoors. Large
objects such as tall buildings can sometimes interfere with reception.
Note: If your device has no GPS reception, TomTom app uses position information from
WiFi networks or mobile phone towers. This information is used to find your approximate
position and for route planning. TomTom app cannot give you route instructions until it
has GPS reception.

with petrol.
• You want to avoid a difficult junction or a road you don’t like.
To change your route, tap Find Alternative... in the Route Options
menu.

Planning a route in advance
You can use the TomTom app to plan a route in advance, selecting your starting point and
your destination. You could, for example, do the following:
• Find out how long a journey is going to take before you start.
You can also compare journey times for the same route at diffe rent times of the day or
on different days of the week. The TomTom app uses IQ Routes when planning a route.
IQ Routes calculates routes based on the real average speeds measured on roads.

• Check the route of a journey you are planning.
• Check a route for someone who is coming to visit you and then explain the route to
them.
To plan a route in advance, follow these steps:
1. Tap the screen to bring up the main menu.
2. Tap Advanced Planning.

• Shortest Route - the shortest distance between the locations you set. This may not
be the quickest route, especially if the shortest route is through a town or city.
• Avoid Motorways - a route which avoids motorways.
• Walking Route - a route designed for making the journey on foot.
• Bicycle Route - a route designed for making the journey on a bicycle.
• Limited Speed - a route for a vehicle which can only be driven at a limited speed. You
have to specify the maximum speed.
6. If IQ Routes is supported by your map, you can choose when you will make the journey
you are planning. You can set the date and time in 5 minute intervals.
The TomTom app uses IQ Routes to work out the best possible route at that time, using
the real average speeds measured on roads. In this way you can compare how long a
journey takes at different times of day, or on different days of the week.
7. The TomTom app plans the route between the two locations you selected.

A text-to-speech program converts written text, for example an instruction like “Turn
right”, into the sound of a human voice.
Note: Computer voices are not available in all regions or for all languages.
If you select a human voice, this can give instructions, but is not able to read street names
aloud. If you would like street names to be included with instructions, you need to select
a computer voice.
•Human voices

Tap this option to set the following music and volume options:
Fade Music
Use this setting to fade the music when instructions and warnings are given.
