Before You Start...2.

Before You Start...

Switching on and off

To switch your TomTom GO on or off, press and hold the On/Off button for 2
seconds. The first time you switch on, it may take a short while for your device
to start.

Note: In rare cases, your GO may not start correctly. If this happens, press the
reset button, then switch on the device again.

Setting up

To set up your TomTom GO you need to answer a few questions by tapping
the screen.

Important: Take care to select the correct language, since the language you

choose will be used for all menus and written instructions.

Battery notes

We recommend that you fully charge your TomTom GO the first time that you
connect it to the home dock. It takes up to 2 hours to charge the battery
completely.

When you place your GO in the Home Dock, you are asked if you wish to
connect to the computer. If you select No, the device will switch off if you do
not tap the screen for three minutes. This happens so that the battery can
recharge at a faster rate.

For information on connecting your computer, see Using TomTom HOME on
page 94.

Note: Your TomTom GO uses a small amount of battery power to remember
the last screen being shown when the device is switched off.

If you do not charge your GO for a prolonged period of time, the next time you
start your GO it will show the default starting screen. All other device settings
will still be maintained.

Improving reception

If your TomTom GO takes longer than 5 minutes to find your current position,
make sure that the device is in an open space away from tall objects such as
buildings or trees.

4

When you connect your TomTom GO to your computer, you can use
TomTom HOME to download information about GPS satellite positions during
the next 7 days. This helps your GO to find your position faster.

Important: Some vehicles have heat reflective shielding in the windscreen.

This may prevent your GO from locating your current position.

The TomTom External Antenna Kit (available for purchase as an accessory)
can help to improve reception.

Windshield Holder

Use the windshield holder to install your TomTom GO inside your car.

To attach the holder, press the suction cup firmly to the windshield in your car,
in an area of the windshield where the glass is flat.

Make sure that both the holder and your windshield are clean and dry before
you attach the holder. Place the holder so that it does not interfere with your
view of the road.

Home Dock

The home dock is used for charging your TomTom GO when it is not in the car
and for connecting your GO to your computer.

When connected to your computer, you can use TomTom HOME to manage
your GO. For information about TomTom HOME, see Using TomTom HOME
on page 94.

Take care of your TomTom GO

Never leave your TomTom GO or accessories in view when you leave the car
or they may become an easy target for thieves.

You can set a password for your TomTom GO which must be entered every
time you start your GO. For more information, see Using TomTom HOME on
page 94.

It is important to take care of your GO.

• Your GO is not designed for use in extreme temperatures and any such
exposure may cause permanent damage.

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

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

Driving View3.

Driving View

When your TomTom GO starts, you are shown the Driving View along with
detailed information about your current location.

Tap the center of the screen at any time to open the Main Menu.

Note: The Driving View is shown in black and white until your GO locates your
current position.

A Tap + and - to zoom in and out.

B Your current position.

time.

To select what will be shown, tap Status bar preferences in the Preferences
menu.

Enhanced Positioning Technology4.

Enhanced Positioning Technology

Note: Enhanced Positioning Technology is available on the TomTom GO 930
and 930T.

Enhanced Positioning Technology or EPT estimates your location when GPS
reception is poor, such as when you drive between tall buildings.

Your GO uses positioning sensors to monitor your acceleration and direction
and then estimates your current location.

EPT only helps your GO to estimate your location. Calculating your precise
location is only possible when your GO receives a strong GPS signal.

When your GO is using EPT to estimate your location, the EPT icon is shown
on the status bar.

Your GO calibrates EPT automatically. If calibration is not complete when your
GO loses GPS reception, EPT cannot be used and the screen is shown in grey,
for example, when there is no GPS reception at the beginning of a trip.

A EPT icon.

B Your current position.

Calibration

Calibration is done automatically and requires no interaction from you.
However, it is useful to have a basic understanding of the calibration
procedure.

Your TomTom GO resets the positioning sensors each time the device is
switched on. To help improve accuracy in estimating your location, your GO
calibrates the sensors throughout your trip.

The following conditions are required for successful calibration:

• Your GO is receiving a strong GPS signal.

• The car has been stationary for at least 5 seconds and then travels along a
straight and level section of road for at least one minute.

Making your first trip5.

Making your first trip

Planning a route with your TomTom GO is easy. To plan your first route, follow
the steps below.

Important: You should always plan your journey before you start driving. It is

dangerous to plan a route while driving.

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

Note: The buttons on your GO are shown in full color unless a button is
currently unavailable. For example, the button named Find alternative... in
the Main Menu is not available until you have planned a route.

2. Tap Navigate to...

3. Tap Address.

When you enter an address, you can choose from the following options:

• City center - tap this button to set your destination as the center of a city

or town.

• Street and house number - tap this button to set an exact address as your

destination.

• ZIP code - tap this button to enter a ZIP code as your destination.

• Cross street or intersection - tap this button to set your destination as the

point where two streets meet.

• Spoken address - tap this button to set your destination by announcing

the address to your GO. For more information, see Voice address input
on page 21.

8

Note: Spoken address entry is supported on TomTom GO 920 and 920T.

For your first trip, we will enter an exact address.

4. Tap Street and house number.

Note: When planning a trip for the first time your GO asks you to choose a
state or country. Your choice is saved and used for all routes you plan.

You can change this setting at any time by tapping the state symbol or country
flag.

5. Start to type the name of the town where you want to go.

As you type, the names of the towns that match what you have typed are
shown. When your destination appears in the list, tap the name of the town
to set the destination.

Tip: Instead of typing the name, tap this button to say the address

by speaking to your GO.

For more information, see Voice address input on page 21

Spoken address entry is supported on TomTom GO 930 and 930T.

6. Start to type the name of the street and select it when it is shown.

As with the name of the town, the names of the streets that match what you
have typed are shown. When your destination appears in the list, tap the
name of the street to set the destination.

7. Now enter the house number of your destination and then tap Done.

9

Arrival times

8. Your GO asks if you need to arrive at a particular time. For this exercise, tap
NO.

The route is calculated by your GO. IQ Routes

TM

is used to plan the best

possible route, using historical information about traffic speed on the roads.

9. When the route has been calculated, tap Done.

Your GO will immediately begin to guide you to your destination, using both
spoken instructions and on-screen directions.

When you plan a route, your TomTom GO asks you if you need to arrive at a
particular time.

Tap YES to enter a preferred arrival time.

Your GO calculates your arrival time and shows you whether you will arrive
on time.

Status bar

preferences

You can also use this information to work out when you need to leave. If your
GO shows that you will arrive 30 minutes early, you can wait and leave in 30
minutes time, rather than arrive early.

Your arrival time is constantly recalculated during your trip. The status bar
shows whether you will arrive on time or if you are going to be late, as shown
below:

You will arrive 55 minutes before the arrival time you entered.

If the estimated arrival time is more than five minutes before
the time you entered, it is shown in green.

You will arrive 3 minutes before the arrival time you entered.

If the estimated arrival time is less than 5 minutes before the
time you entered, it is shown in yellow.

You will arrive 19 minutes late.

If the estimated arrival time is later than the time you entered,
it is shown in red.

Ta p Status bar preferences in the Preferences menu, to enable or disable
arrival time notifications.

Select the required options on the first menu screen and then tap Done.

To enable arrival time notifications, select Show leeway to arrival time.

To disable arrival time notifications, unselect Show leeway to arrival time.

Planning a route in advance

You can also use your GO to plan trips in advance by selecting both your
starting point and your destination. You could, for example, do the following:

• Find out how long a trip is going to take before you start.

• Check the route of a trip you are planning.

• Check a route for someone who is coming to visit you so you can 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 the arrow button to move to the next menu screen and tap Prepare

route.

Prepare route

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. Choose the type of route that should be planned.

• Fastest route - the route which takes the least time.

12

• 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 freeways - a route which avoids freeways.

• Walking route - a route designed for making the trip on foot.

• Bicycle route - a route designed for making the trip 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. Your TomTom GO plans the route between the two locations you selected.

More information about a route

You can access these options for the route you last planned, by tapping View
route in the Main Menu.

To find out about your route in detail, tap the Details button on the route
summary screen.

Finding alternative routes6.

Finding alternative routes

Once you have planned a route, you may want to change something about the
route, without changing your destination.

Why change the route?

Maybe for one of these reasons:

• You can see a roadblock or a line of traffic ahead.

• You want to travel via a particular location, to pick someone up, stop for
lunch or fill up with gas.

• You want to avoid a difficult intersection or a road you don’t like.

Ta p Find alternative... in the Main Menu to change the route that is
currently planned.

Find alterna-

tive...

Calculate

alternative

Then tap one of the options below.

Tap this button to calculate an alternative to the route already planned.

Your GO will look for another route from your current location to your
destination.

If you decide you would prefer to use the original route after all, tap

Recalculate original.

Avoid

roadblock

Why would I need to do this?

Apart from the roads near your position and near your destination, the new
route will use totally different roads to reach your destination. This is an
easy way of calculating a totally different route.

Tap this button if you can see a roadblock or a line of traffic ahead. You then
have to choose how much of the route ahead you want to avoid.

Choose from the different options: 100m, 500m, 2000m, 5000m. Your GO
will recalculate your route avoiding the section of the route for the distance
you selected.

Don’t forget that once a new route is calculated, you may have to turn off
the road you are on very soon.

If the roadblock suddenly clears, tap Recalculate original to return to your
original route.

14

Tap this button to change your route so that it passes a particular location,
perhaps to pick someone up on the way.

Travel via...

Recalculate

original

Avoid part of

route

Minimize

traffic delays

You choose the location you want to pass in the same way as you choose a
destination. So you can select from all the same options: for example,
Address, Favorite, Point of Interest and Point on map.

Your GO will calculate a new route to your destination that passes the
location you chose.

Using this button, you can only travel via one location. If you want to pass
more than one, use an Itinerary. For more information, see Itinerary
planning on page 42.

Tap this button to return to the original route without deviations to avoid
roadblocks or traveling via particular locations.

Tap this button to avoid a part of the route. Use this button if you see that
your route includes a road or junction you don’t like, or which is well­known for traffic problems.

You then choose the road you want to avoid from a list of the roads on your
route.

Tap this button to recalculate your route so that it avoids traffic problems as
much as possible. Your GO will check if there are any traffic problems on
your route and work out the best route to avoid the problems.

For more information about using TomTom Traffic, see TomTom Traffic on
page 74.

Sounds and voices7.

Sounds and voices

The sound on your TomTom GO is used for features such as:

• Spoken instructions

• Hands-free calls

• Warnings

•Music

For information on making hands-free calls on your GO, see Hands-free
calling on page 45.

For information on playing music on your GO, see Music and Media on page
25

How do I change the volume level?

You can change the volume in three ways:

• Tap the bottom left hand area of the Driving View. The last spoken
instruction is repeated and the volume level is shown.

Move the volume slider to adjust the volume.

• In the Main Menu, tap Change preferences, then tap Volume preferences.

Tap Test to check your changes.

• You can set your GO to change the volume automatically depending on
how noisy it is in the car.

Changing the volume automatically

Your TomTom GO can change the volume automatically.

1. In the Main Menu, tap Change preferences.

preferences

2. Tap Volume preferences.

3. Select Link volume to noise level.

4. Tap Done.

16

Selecting a voice

To change the voice being used by your TomTom GO, tap Voice
preferences in the Preferences menu, then tap Change voice. Select a voice

from the list.

Voice

preferences

Your TomTom GO has two different kinds of voices:

• Computer voices

These are generated by your GO. They provide spoken instructions
while you are driving and can pronounce street names and announce
messages, traffic reports, weather reports, tips and tutorials.

•Human voices

These are recorded by an actor.

Note: Human voices only provide spoken instructions.

How do computer voices work?

Your TomTom GO makes use of text-to-speech technology to generate
computer voices. A text-to-speech program converts written text, for example
an instruction like “Turn right”, into the sound of a human voice.

The text-to-speech program looks at the whole sentence to make sure that the
sound you hear is as close to the real thing as possible. The program is also
able to recognize and quite accurately pronounce foreign place and street
names. For example, the English voice can read French street names.

Note: If you select a Human voice, this will only be able to announce
commands, but not street names. If you would like street names to be
announced, you will need to select a computer voice.

Internal and external speakers

Your TomTom GO contains a high quality speaker. This is used to play all the
sounds on your GO unless you connect to external speakers.

You can connect external speakers to your GO in the following ways:

• Using an audio cable.

Note: If your car stereo has a line-in connector, you can play sound from your
GO through your car speakers.

• Connecting a Bluetooth® Hi-Fi headset or speakers.

• Tuning the FM Transmitter in your GO to use your car radio speakers.

FM transmitter

There is an FM Transmitter inside your GO that works like a radio station. This
means you can hear the instructions made by your GO and play your mp3
songs through your car radio speakers.

Setting up

• In the Main Menu tap Change preferences, then tap Speaker preferences.

17

• Switch on your car radio.

• Tune your car radio to a frequency that is not being used by a radio station.

• Tap Change and set the frequency on your GO to the same frequency as
your car radio.

If you drive into an area where a radio station transmits on the same
frequency you are using for the FM Transmitter, you may have to use
another frequency.

Using more than one speaker

You can select different speakers to be used for specific events, such as using
the internal speaker for TomTom GO instructions and external speakers for
hearing handsfree phone calls and listening to music.

• Internal speaker

• Bluetooth Hi-Fi device

• Line-out (audio cable)

• FM to your car radio

Is it difficult to hear spoken instructions when music is playing?

When you choose to use a Bluetooth® Hi-Fi device for music and spoken
instructions, you are asked if you want to pause music when spoken
instructions are announced. By default, music is always paused for spoken
instructions.

When you receive a hands-free phonecall, music is always paused and spoken
instructions are not given.

For information about making hands-free calls on your GO, see Hands-free

calling on page 45.

Using the audio cable

To play sound through your car stereo or other external speaker using an
audio cable, do the following:

1. Plug the audio cable into the audio out connector on your GO.

2. Plug the audio cable into the line-in connector on your car stereo or other
external speaker.

Note: Not all car stereos have a line in connector. Check the manual for your
car stereo for specific information.

Spoken

address

Important: You should always plan your journey before you start driving. It is

dangerous to plan a route while driving.

When you plan a trip with your TomTom GO, instead of tapping the screen to
type in an address, you can use voice address input to say the address.

Tap this button to enter an address using only speech. Using this option,
your GO can recognize the following:

• Commands: Yes, No, Back, Done, OK, Crossing.

• Street names.

•Place names.

• Numbers: Numbers should be pronounced as individual numerals. For
example, to say the number 35, say "Three" and then say "Five."

Using Spoken address (dialog), you can enter information without tapping
the screen.

Tap this button to enter an address using both speech and by tapping the
screen. Using this option your GO can recognize the following:

• Street names.

•Place names.

Using Spoken address is typically faster than using Spoken address
(dialog).

When this button is shown on the keyboard, you can enter information by
speaking instead of typing. Tap this button to enter information using voice
address input.

Tip: When this button is shown in grey, you cannot use speech to enter an

address.

Your GO recognizes place and street names spoken using the local language
and pronunciation.

It is not possible to use voice address input to say place and street names in
all countries.

21

Planning a trip using voice address input

Important: You should always plan your journey before you start driving. It is

dangerous to plan a route while driving.

To plan a route using speech, do the following:

1. Tap Navigate to... in the Main menu.

2. Tap Address.

For this example, we will navigate to an address using only speech to enter
the address.

3. Tap Spoken address (dialog).

4. Say the city name.

When you say the city name, you are then shown a list of six names that
match what you said.

22

Your GO tells you the name at the top of the list. If the name you hear is
correct, then say, "Done" or "OK" or "Yes" or "One" or tap on the name.

If the city name you hear is not correct, but the name appears in the list, then
say the number next to the correct name or tap on the correct name.

For example, if the correct name is Rotterdam and this name is number two
in the list, you could say, "Two" or tap on the name, Rotterdam.

If the city name is not shown in the list, then say "Back" or "No" or tap the
Back button to return to the previous screen. Then say the city name again.

Note: You need to say numbers in the same language that is used for menu
buttons.

5. Say the street name.

As with the city name, you are then shown a list of six names that closely
match what you said.

Your GO tells you the name at the top of the list. If the name you hear is
correct, then say, "Done" or "OK" or "Yes" or "One" or tap on the name.

Note: Different locations may have similar names, such as a road that has
multiple postcode locations. In such cases, all of these locations are shown in
the list and you need to look at the screen and select the correct location.

If the street name you hear is not correct, but the name appears in the list,
then say the number next to the correct name or tap on the name.

For example, if the correct name is Rembrandtplein and this name is
number three in the list, you could say, "Three" or tap on the name,
Rembrandtplein.

For example, looking at the list shown here, if the correct name is
Rembrandtplein, you could say, "Two" or tap on the name, Rembrandtplein.

If the street name is not shown in the list, then say "Back" or "No" or tap the
Back button to return to the previous screen. Then say the street name
again.

6. Say the house number.

Numbers should be pronounced normally. For example, you would say the
number 357 as one continuous sentence, "Three hundred and fifty seven."

If the number is shown incorrectly, say, "Back" or "No" or tap the Backspace
key. Then say the number again.

Tip: If you say, "Back" when there are no numbers shown on the screen, then

your GO will return you to the previous screen.

23

When the number is shown correctly say, "Done" or "OK." Alternatively,
enter the number by tapping the screen.

To select a crossroads as the location, say "Crossing".

Note: You need to say numbers in the same language that is used for menu
buttons.

7. Your GO asks if you need to arrive at a particular time. For this exercise, tap
NO.

The route is calculated by your GO.

8. When the route has been calculated, tap Done.

Itinerary planning

What is an Itinerary?

An Itinerary is a plan for a trip including more locations than your final
destination.

An Itinerary can include the following items:

• Destination - a location on your trip where you want to stop.

• Waypoint - a location on your trip you want to travel through without
stopping.

Here’s an example of an Itinerary:

Destinations are shown using this symbol.

Waypoints are shown using this symbol.

• A road trip through a country with lots of stops.

• A two day car trip with an overnight stop.

• A short drive which passes by Points of Interest.

In all these examples you could tap Navigate to... for each place. However, if
you use an Itinerary, you can save time by planning everything in advance.
