Welcome to navigation with TomTom

tion device.

If you want a quick read of the essentials, we recommend that you read the Read me first chapter. This covers installation, switching on, setting up and updating using MyDrive.

After that, you will probably want to look at route planning, and you can read all about that in the

Planning a route chapter.

For information about what you see on the device itself, go to:

 The Driving View  View map  Traffic  Safety Cameras

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!

 Blue&Me-TomTom 2

What's in the box

 Dock

 USB cable

 Documentation

Installing the Dock

Read me first

Use the Dock to install your Blue&Me-TomTom 2 navigation device inside the car.

To attach the Dock, insert the base of the dock into the dash plug on the car dashboard or A-pillar.

To insert your navigation device into the dock, push the two small buttons on the bottom of the dock to open the top bracket. Place the bottom of the device into the dock and then push the top bracket of the dock down until it clicks into place.

To adjust the position of the device, unscrew the knob on the back of the device to adjust the position using the ball joint and secure it by tightening the knob.

To remove the navigation device, press the two small buttons on the bottom of the dock and lift the navigation device out.

To release the dock from the dashboard, push the lower button on each side of the shaft and pull out the dock.

Switching on and off

To switch on your navigation device manually, press and hold the On/Off button until you see the start-up screen. The first time you switch on your navigation device, it may take a short time to start.

Your Blue&Me-TomTom 2 navigation device starts automatically as soon as it is powered by the dock.

To set up your navigation device you need to answer a few questions by tapping the screen. You then need to connect your navigation device to Blue&Me in your car.

Note: Your dealer may have connected your navigation device to Blue&Me for you. If this is the case, you can start using your device right away.

Setting up

Important: Take care to select the correct language as the language you choose will be used for

all text on the screen.

When you first switch on your device, you have to answer a few questions to set up the device. Answer the questions by tapping the screen.

GPS reception

When you first start your Blue&Me-TomTom 2 navigation device, the device may need a few minutes to determine your GPS position and show your current position on the map. In the future, your position will be found much faster, usually within a few seconds.

To ensure good GPS reception, you should use your device outdoors and keep your device upright. Large objects such as tall buildings can sometimes interfere with reception. GPS reception can also be affected if the device is placed flat on a surface or held flat in your hand.

About MyDrive

MyDrive is a web-based tool that helps you manage the contents and services of your Blue&Me-TomTom 2 navigation device. You use MyDrive to get map updates as well as lots of other things.

You log in to MyDrive on the TomTom website. It is a good idea to frequently connect your navigation device to MyDrive to ensure you always have the latest updates.

Tip: We recommend using a broadband internet connection whenever you connect your navigation device to MyDrive.

About MyDrive Connect

In order to use MyDrive, you need to install MyDrive Connect on your computer.

MyDrive Connect is an application that allows your navigation device to communicate with the MyDrive website. MyDrive Connect needs to be running the entire time that your device is connected to your computer.

Setting up MyDrive

To get ready to use MyDrive for the first time, do the following:

1. On your computer, open a web browser and go to tomtom.com/getstarted.

2. Click Get Started.

3. Click Download MyDrive Connect.

Follow the instructions on the screen.

4. When prompted, connect your device to your computer using the USB cable supplied with

your device, then switch your device on.

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

Note: You should plug the USB cable directly into a USB port on your computer and not into

a USB hub or USB port on a keyboard or monitor.

5. Enter the requested information for account creation, including your country.

When set-up is complete, a MyTomTom account is created and your navigation device is linked to that account.

You can now access MyDrive Connect from the notification area on your desktop.

MyDrive starts automatically after the account is created.

Note: Next time you want to access MyDrive, go to tomtom.com/mydrive in a web browser.

Tip: When you connect your navigation device to your computer, MyDrive Connect tells you

if there are any updates for your device.

Device not starting

In rare cases, your Blue&Me-TomTom 2 navigation 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 device to the car charger. It can take up to 2 hours to fully charge the battery.

If this does not solve the problem, you can reset the device. To do this, press and hold the On/Off button until you hear the drum sound and your device restarts. This can take 30 seconds or more.

Charging your device

The battery in your Blue&Me-TomTom 2 navigation device charges when you connect it to the dock or to your computer.

The light on the On/Off button is orange while the battery is charging and is green when the battery is fully charged.

Important: You should plug the USB connector directly into a USB port on your computer and not into a USB hub or USB port on a keyboard or monitor.

Sharing information with TomTom

When you first start navigating or perform a 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.

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

1. In the Main Menu, tap Settings.

2. Tap Me and my device.

3. Tap My information.

4. Tap No to stop sharing or tap Yes to start sharing.

For more information, see our privacy policy at tomtom.com/privacy.

Take care of your navigation device

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 void the warranty.

 Wipe or dry the screen of your device using a soft cloth. Do not use any liquid cleaners.  Your device is not designed for use in extreme temperatures, and any such exposure may

cause permanent damage. Extended exposure to sunlight may lead to premature degradation of battery performance.

Safety settings

We recommend using the safety settings to make your driving as safe as possible.

These are some of the options included in the safety settings:

 Show essential menu buttons while driving  Show safety reminders  Warn when driving faster than allowed

If your device supports voice control, you can also drive more safely by using voice control to control your navigation device.

A message confirming that the connection is successful appears both on the navigation device and on the cluster display. Each time the Blue&Me-TomTom 2 device is connected or disconnected from Blue&Me, you see a confirmation message.

When your navigation device and your car have been paired, the Car Menu button appears in the Main Menu of the navigation device.

From the Car Menu, you can access the functions specific to your Blue&Me-TomTom 2. The Car Menu button changes depending on the model of your car and is updated whenever you connect your device with a new car.

In the future, the connection is activated automatically each time the navigation device is switched on and either the car key is switched to the "ignition on" position or the car engine is running.

In some instances, you may need to repeat the pairing procedure. Note that the PIN code will change every time. To connect your Blue&Me-TomTom 2 device to a different car, you need to carry out the complete pairing and connection procedure.

Note: If a connection problem occurs, tap Settings on the device. Then tap Reset factory settings and repeat the pairing procedure.

The Car Menu looks as follows for different brands of car:

Telephone

You can use your Blue&Me-TomTom 2 navigation device to manage your hands-free calls. You should establish a Bluetooth connection between your phone and Blue&Me in your car, and not between your phone and the navigation device.

You can also use Blue&Me to handle hands-free phone calls without the navigation device. However, if the navigation device is in the dock and switched on, you can access all the functions through the navigation device, for example, answering incoming calls and calling POIs.

Note: For information about hands-free calling and Blue&Me in your car, see the Blue&Me user guide.

To see this information on your device, tap Car Menu in the Main Menu on your navigation device, then tap Trip Computer.

Note: Part of this functionality is not available when driving using CNG and is less reliable when driving using LPG.

The information about trip A and B is the same as shown in the dashboard display but is shown in one screen. The type of information shown depends on your car.

Note: For further information about using trip information, see the guide that was supplied with your car.

Driving style information

Driving style information helps you drive in a way that limits the environmental impact.

It can improve the efficiency of your driving by analyzing your driving style. It helps you to use less fuel, reduce CO2 emissions and save money.

On the left of the screen for cars where a gear shift indicator is available, the indicator suggests when you should change gear by repeating the information shown in the gear shift indicator on the cluster display. On the right, the ecological impact of your driving is shown.

To view this information, do the following:

1. Tap Car Menu in the Main Menu on your navigation device.

2. Tap eco:Drive info, Fuel efficiency info or EcoTrend info depending on your car.

The screen is shown until you tap Done.

Information about your driving style is not available for all types of car engine. If you are using LPG fuel, the fuel efficiency information is only shown to provide an estimation of your driving style. If you are using CNG fuel, this function is not available.

Voice control

Voice command and control

There are two types of voice control.

The first type is provided by Blue&Me and you can use it to control Blue&Me features. You do this using a button on your steering wheel.

The second type is provided by your navigation device and you can use it to plan routes and control other features of your navigation device. You do this by tapping the voice control button in the Driving View of the navigation device.

Blue&Me voice command and control

 "Telephone"  "Trip Computer"  "eco:Drive info" or "Fuel Efficiency info" or "EcoTrend info" depending on your car  "Media player."

The menu opens for your chosen command. Blue&Me lists the commands available for that menu.

To return to the Driving View at any time, press Done on your navigation device.

Note: For a list of all Blue&Me voice commands see the FAQ on tomtom.com/support. For additional information about Blue&Me voice command and control, please see the Blue&Me manual that was delivered with your car.

Media Player

You can use your Blue&Me-TomTom 2 navigation device to operate the Blue&Me Media Player.

You can also use Blue&Me in your car to operate the Media Player without using the navigation device. However, if the navigation device is in the Dock and switched on, you can control the Media Player through the navigation device.

Tap the up and down arrows to select the previous or next item in the library. For example, if you selected the song from a folder, tap the arrows to go to the next or previous folder.

Music is played using the car loudspeakers, just like when the media player is operated via Blue&Me.

Tap USB library to open the library menu.

Tap Play anything to select a song at random. The Media Player starts playing this song. When the Media Player starts playing a new song, a message is displayed showing the title of the song.

Tap the other buttons to select a song using that category.

Tap USB settings to open the USB settings menu.

In the USB settings menu, you can choose to start playing a song as soon as Blue&Me is switched on, shuffle songs during playback, and repeat the song that is currently playing.

Note: For more information about the Media player, see the guide that was supplied with your car.

Your car may have both USB and AUX IN. The above functionality is not available if you plug your media player into the AUX IN jack. The AUX IN jack is a headset socket and cannot be controlled via Blue&Me-TomTom 2.

Points of Interest or POIs are useful places on the map. Here are some examples:

Points of Interest

 Fiat, Lancia, Alfa Romeo, Fiat Professional and Chrysler UK service points  Hotels  Restaurants  Parking garages  Gas stations including CNG and LPG

Your Blue&Me-TomTom 2 navigation device comes with a European-wide list of Fiat, Lancia, Alfa Romeo, Fiat Professional service points and Chrysler service points in the UK and LPG/CNG gas stations. These are all stored as POIs and you can navigate to any of them as a destination.

When you need to service or repair your car or fill it up with fuel, you can choose a POI, view the contact information and then navigate to it.

When the amount of fuel in your car drops into the reserve, your Blue&Me-TomTom 2 navigation

Low Fuel Warning

device gives you a warning.

Tap Yes to be routed to the gas station closest to your route. If you do not have a route planned, tap Yes to be taken to the gas station closest to your current location.

Your Blue&Me-TomTom 2 navigation device knows which type of fuel your car uses and guides you to a gas station that offers you the correct fuel type.

Note: The Low Fuel Warning is not available in all cars.

MyDrive

MyDrive for Blue&Me-TomTom 2

Every time you plan a route, you can choose to be asked about the type of route you want to plan. To do this, tap Settings then tap Route planning. Select Route types and then tap Ask me every time I plan.

The types of route you can choose from are as follows:

 Fastest route - the route which takes the least time.  Eco route - the most fuel-efficient route for your trip.  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 highways - a route which avoids highways.  Walking route - a route designed for making the trip on foot.  Bicycle route - a route designed for making the trip on a bicycle.

Frequent destinations

Planning a route in advance

You can use your Blue&Me-TomTom 2 device to plan a route in advance, selecting your starting point and your destination.

Here are some more reasons to plan a route in advance:

 Find out how long a trip is going to take before you start.  You can also compare trip times for the same route at different times of the day or on different

days of the week. Your device uses IQ Routes when planning a route. IQ Routes calculates routes based on the real average speeds measured on roads.

 Study the route of a trip you are planning.  Check a route for someone who is coming to visit you and then explain the route to them in

detail.

To plan a route in advance, follow these steps:

1. Tap the screen to bring up the Main menu.

2. Tap the arrow button to move to the next menu screen and tap Plan route.

This button is shown while there is no planned route on your Blue&Me-TomTom 2 device.

3. Select the starting point for your trip in the same way that you would select your destination.

4. Set the destination for your trip.

5. If Route planning settings are set to Ask me every time I plan, select the type of route you

want to plan:

quickest route, especially if the shortest route is through a town or city.

 Avoid highways - a route which avoids highways.  Walking route - a route designed for making the trip on foot.  Bicycle route - a route designed for making the trip on a bicycle.

6. Choose the date and time that you will make the trip you are planning.

Your device uses IQ Routes to work out the best possible route at that time. This is useful to see how long a trip takes at different times of the day or on different days of the week.

Your navigation device plans the route between the two locations you selected.

There are two types of voice control.

The first type is provided by Blue&Me and you can use it to control Blue&Me features. You do this using a button on your steering wheel.

About navigation device voice control

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

Instead of tapping the screen to control your Blue&Me-TomTom 2, you can use your voice to control your Blue&Me-TomTom 2.

For example, to increase the volume on your Blue&Me-TomTom 2, you can say, "Increase volume."

To view the list of available commands, tap Help in the Main menu then tap Product manuals and then tap What to say.

Important: Voice control requires a computer voice. When there are no computer voices installed on your Blue&Me-TomTom 2, this feature is not available.

To select a computer voice, tap Voices in the Settings menu, then tap Change voice and select a computer voice.

Using voice control

Voice control is switched off by default.

To switch on voice control and add the button to the Driving View, tap Voice control in the Settings menu and select Enable voice control.

The following example shows how to use voice control to plan a trip to your Home address:

1. Tap the microphone button in the Driving view to turn on the microphone.

The first time you tap the microphone button some examples of the commands that you can say are read aloud.

For a full list of commands, tap Settings in the Main menu, tap Voice control and then tap

What to say. Alternatively, tap Help in the Main Menu, tap Product manuals and then tap What to say.

2. When you hear "Say a command" followed by a beep, say a command of your choice. For

example, you can say "Drive home." Your device is only ready to listen after your hear the beep.

While you are speaking, the microphone monitor shows how well the device can hear your voice.

A green bar means the device can hear your voice.

A red bar means your voice is too loud for the device to recognize individual words.

A gray bar means your voice is too quiet for the device to recognize individual words.

For some phrases, your device repeats what you say and asks for confirmation.

Tip: For the best recognition of what you say, speak normally without trying to articulate words in an unnatural way. If there is excessive road noise, for example, you may need to speak in the direction of the microphone.

3. If the command is correct, say "Yes."

If the command is incorrect, say "No" and repeat the command after you hear the prompt and beep again.

Your device plans a route from your current location to your destination.

Tip: To stop your device from listening for further commands, say "Cancel." To go back one step, say "Back."

Planning a trip using your voice

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

always plan a route before you start driving.

3. Say the name of the town.

Your device shows a list of towns which sound similar to what you said and tells you which town is at the top of the list.

If the town you hear is the same as the town you requested then say, "Done" or "OK" or "Yes" or "One" or tap the town at the top of the list.

If the town you hear is incorrect, but the correct town is in the list, say the number next to the correct town or tap the name of the town.

For example, if the correct city is Rotterdam and this is shown as the third item in the list, you can say, "Three" or tap the name, Rotterdam.

If the name is not in the list, say "Back" or "No" or tap Back to return to the previous screen and say the town again when you hear the beep.

4. Say the street name.

Your device shows a list of street names which sound similar to what you said and tells you which street name is at the top of the list.

6. When the route has been calculated and the route summary is shown, tap Done.

Your device starts to guide you to your destination, using spoken instructions and onscreen directions.

Entering addresses using your voice

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

always plan a route before you start driving.

Even if you don't use voice control to start planning a trip, you can still use your voice to enter the address.

To start planning a trip, tap Navigate to in the Main menu, then tap Spoken Address or Address.

About sounds and voices

Sounds and voices

Your Blue&Me-TomTom 2 device uses sound for some or all of the following:

 Driving directions and other route instructions  Traffic information

 Warnings that you set

There are two types of voice available for your device:

 Computer voices

Computer voices are generated by your device. They provide route instructions and read aloud city and street names, traffic and other useful information.

 Human voices

These are recorded by an actor and only provide route instructions.

About computer voices

Your Blue&Me-TomTom 2 device uses text-to-speech technology and computer voices to read the street names on your map as it guides you on your route.

The computer voice analyses the whole phrase or sentence before speaking to ensure that the sentence sounds as close as possible to natural speech.

Computer voices can recognize and pronounce foreign towns and street names. For example, the English computer voice can read and pronounce French street names but pronunciation may not be completely accurate.

Selecting a voice

About RDS-TMC

The top of the traffic sidebar represents your destination and shows the total time delay due to traffic jams and other incidents on your route.

The central section of the traffic sidebar shows individual traffic incidents in the order they occur on your route.

The bottom of the traffic sidebar represents your current location and shows the distance to the next incident on your route.

Unknown or undetermined situation.

Slow traffic.

Developing traffic jam.

Traffic

The Traffic Message Channel (TMC), also known as RDS-TMC, transmits traffic information as a radio signal and is available free of charge in many countries.

TMC is not a TomTom Service, but is available when using the TomTom RDS-TMC Traffic Receiver.

Note: TomTom is not responsible for the availability or quality of traffic information provided by the Traffic Message Channel.

The Traffic Message Channel (TMC) is not available in all countries. To check the availability of TMC services in your country, go to tomtom.com/5826.

Using Traffic information

The traffic sidebar is shown on the right side of the Driving View. The sidebar informs you about traffic delays while you drive, using glowing dots to show you where each traffic incident is located on your route.

To make the traffic sidebar more readable some incidents may not be shown. These incidents will always be of minor importance and only cause short delays.

The color of the pointers, as shown below, gives you an instant indication of the type of incident:

Stationary traffic or road closure.

Taking the fastest route

Your Blue&Me-TomTom 2 device regularly looks for a faster route to your destination. If the traffic situation changes and a faster route is found, your device offers to replan your trip so you can use the faster route.

You can also set your device to automatically replan your trip whenever a faster route is found. To apply this setting, tap Traffic settings in the Traffic menu.

To manually find and replan the fastest route to your destination, do the following:

1. Tap the traffic sidebar.

Tip: If you find that tapping the sidebar opens the Main menu instead of the traffic menu, try tapping the sidebar with your finger resting on the edge of the screen.

A summary of traffic on your route is shown.

2. Tap Options.

3. Tap Minimize delays.

Your device searches for the fastest route to your destination.

The new route may include traffic delays. You can replan the route to avoid all traffic delays, but a route which avoids all delays will usually take longer than the fastest route.

4. Tap Done.
