Chapter 2 Before You Start...

Before You Start...

Everyone Loves TomTom GO

So never leave your GO in your car when you’re not using it - it’s an easy target for thieves.

Always take your GO, the windshield mount, and the car charger with you; don’t leave any TomTom products on display.

Always store your GO in the carry case to protect the screen.

Back Up Your TomTom GO

It’ s a l w a y s a g o o d id ea to mak e a backup of the contents of your TomTom GO. You can make a backup using TomTom HOME.

For more information about TomTom HOME, see Using TomTom HOME on page 65.

Look After Your TomTom GO

It is important to take care of your GO and to clean it correctly.

• Use a soft cloth to wipe the screen of your GO; do not use any liquid cleaners.

• If your GO gets wet, dry it with a soft cloth.

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

• Do not use the memory card (SD card) with any device other than a TomTom device. Other devices may damage the memory card.

• Do not expose your GO to high or low temperatures, which can cause permanent damage. For example, don’t leave it in the car on hot summer days or during cold winter nights.

•

Chapter 3 Getting started

Getting started

Switching on

Follow the instructions on the Installation Poster to dock your TomTom GO in your car.

The first time you switch on your TomTom GO, it may take up to 20 seconds to start. To switch off your TomTom GO, press and hold the On/Off button for 2 seconds.

Setting up

You have to answer a few questions to set up your TomTom GO. Answer the questions by tapping the screen. You will use the touchscreen for everything you do with your GO.

You can change these settings at any time using the the Preferences menu. For information about the Preferences menu, see Preferences on page 51.

Once you have answered the questions, your GO will display the Driving View. The Driving View is shown in black and white until your GO locates your current position.

For more information about the Driving View, see Driving View on page 17.

Locating your current position

Your TomTom GO must be outside to locate your current position. The first time you start your GO, it can take up to 5 minutes to find your current position. If it takes longer than 5 minutes, make sure that you are in an open place without tall buildings or trees around you.

In the future, your position will be found much faster, normally within a few seconds.

Once your GO has located your current position, the Driving View is shown in full color and shows your position on the map.

•

Finding your position faster

To find your position faster, use the home dock in combination with TomTom HOME on your computer. When connected to the Internet, TomTom HOME automatically downloads information which helps your GO locate your position faster.

For more information about GPS, see How Does Navigation Work? on page 67.

Note: Your TomTom GO does not transmit your position. You can, however, send your position to TomTom Buddies. For more information, visit

www.tomtom.com/plus

Note: Some vehicles have a heat reflective shield embedded in the

windshield that may prevent TomTom GO from locating your current position. If this is a problem in your vehicle, use the TomTom External Antenna Kit (available as an accessory).

•

Chapter 4 Docking your TomTom GO

Docking your TomTom GO

Windshield Dock

Use the windshield dock to position your TomTom GO in your car. The installation poster shows how to attach the dock to your windshield.

Tips

• Make sure your windshield is clean and dry before trying to attach the dock.

• Place the dock so it does not block your view of the road.

• Attach the dock to an area of the windshield where the glass is flat, not curved.

Using the Remote Control

The remote control is included with the GO 910 and can be bought as an accessory for the GO 710/510. There are 5 sets of buttons on the remote control:

• Volume up and down

• OK button - to open the Main Menu or press a button on the screen.

• Arrow buttons - to move around the screen.

• Left and right buttons - to press Done or Cancel when they are displayed.

• Keyboard button - to open the keyboard.

Home Dock

With the home dock you can charge your TomTom GO when it is not in the car and also connect your GO to your computer. Connect the home dock to the home charger and your computer as shown below.

Place your TomTom GO in the home dock in the same way as you place it in the windshield dock.

When connected to your computer, you can use TomTom HOME with your GO. For information about TomTom HOME, see Using TomTom HOME on page 65.

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

point where two streets meet.

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

•

4. Tap Street and house number.

5. Start by typing 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 is shown in the list, tap the name of the town to set the destination.

6. Start to type the name of the street.

As with the name of the town, the names of the streets that match what you have typed are shown. When your destination is shown 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.

The route is then calculated by your TomTom GO.

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

Your TomTom GO will immediately start guiding you to your destination with spoken instructions and visual instructions on the screen.

Note: Before you can plan a route in this way, your TomTom GO must first locate your current position.

•

What are the other navigation options?

When you tap Navigate to..., you can set your destination in many ways, not just by entering the address. The other options are listed below:

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

Find

alternative...

Calculate

alternative

Tap Find alternative... in the Main Menu to change the route which is currently planned.

Why would I want to 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 junction or a road you don’t like.

Using Find alternative... you can change your route for all of these. Tap one of the options below.

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

As much as possible, your GO will look for another route from your current location to your destination.

If you don’t like the new suggestion, tap this button again and your GO will suggest another alternative route.

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

Avoid

roadblock

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.

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, Favourite, Point of Interest and Point on map.

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 23.

Tap this button to return to the original route without any deviations for roadblocks or deviations to travel 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 well-known 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.

Internal and external speakers

Your TomTom GO includes a high quality speaker. Normally, this internal speaker will be used to play all the sound your GO makes.

If your car stereo has a line in connector, you can play sound from your GO through your car speakers using the audio cable.

You can also play sound from you GO through a Bluetooth Hi-Fi speaker. This could also be a Bluetooth Hi-Fi headset.

Using the audio cable

The audio cable is included in the box with your TomTom GO.

To play sound through your car stereo, do the following:

1. Plug the audio cable into the line out connector on the windshield dock, as shown below.

2. Plug the audio cable into the line in connector on your car stereo.

Note: Not all car stereos have a line in connector.

3. On your car stereo, select Line in as the source.

Note: You cannot listen to your car stereo and use the audio cable to play sound from your GO on the car stereo at the same time.

For information about listening to music using your GO, see Music and Photos on page 47.

Using Bluetooth Hi-Fi speakers

Your GO can play sound through Bluetooth Hi-Fi speakers, such as a Bluetooth Hi-Fi headset, or a car stereo which uses Bluetooth.

To play sound over Bluetooth Hi-Fi speakers, do the following.

•

Speaker

preferences

1. Tap Speaker Preferences in the Preferences menu.

2. Select the sound that you want played through external Bluetooth Hi-Fi speakers. There are two options:

• Play music over external speaker

• Play spoken instructions over external speaker

You can select either or both options.

3. Tap Done.

4. Your GO asks you to confirm that you want to use an external Bluetooth Hi-Fi speaker. Tap YES.

Your GO will start searching for Bluetooth Hi-Fi devices.

5. Select your Bluetooth Hi-Fi device from the list of devices found by your GO.

Your GO will try to establish a Bluetooth connection with your device.

Your device may require you to enter a password on your GO before a Bluetooth connection can be established. See the documentation for your device for more information.

Once connected, sound will be played through the external Bluetooth Hi-Fi speaker, if your GO is able to establish a Bluetooth connection with it. Otherwise, all sound will be played through the internal speaker or through the audio cable if it is connected to the windscreen dock.

Selecting a voice

Your TomTom GO has two different kinds of voices:

•Computer voices

This type of voice is generated by your TomTom GO. It gives you spoken instructions while you are driving and can also read the following information aloud:

• Street names

• Messages

• Traffic reports

• Weather reports

•Tips

• Tutorials

Note: Computer voices are only available on the GO 910 and are not available in all languages.

Sound

•

•Human voices

This type of voice is recorded by an actor. It gives you spoken instructions but cannot read anything else aloud.

How do computer voices work?

Your TomTom GO 910 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.

Chapter 17 TomTom Traffic

TomTom Traffic

You can get traffic information in two ways:

• From TomTom Traffic

• From the Traffic Message Channel (TMC)

TomTom Traffic

TomTom Traffic is a TomTom PLUS service. To use TomTom Traffic you must have a mobile phone with Bluetooth and a wireless data connection, for example, GPRS.

TomTom Traffic takes the most up-to-date information from the best local sources. Take advantage of the free trial to try TomTom Traffic. For more information, see the TomTom PLUS leaflet.

Note: TomTom Traffic is not available in all countries. Visit www.tomtom.com/plus to check availability in your country.

Setting up TomTom Traffic

To receive TomTom Traffic, first establish a connection between your mobile phone and your TomTom GO. See Connecting to Your Phone on page 43. Then do the following:

1. Tap TomTom Traffic in the Main Menu.

2. Tap Enable Traffic.

The Traffic Message Channel (TMC)

The TMC is not a TomTom service, but is offered free-of-charge in many countries. TMC transmits traffic information as a radio signal. To use TMC you need to buy the TomTom RDS-TMC Traffic Receiver.

Note: TomTom is not responsible for the availability or quality of traffic information provided by TMC. TMC is not available in all countries or regions.

•

Setting up TMC

To start using TMC, connect the TMC antenna to the windshield mount. Plug the TMC antenna into the TomTom connector.

Using Traffic

When TomTom Traffic is enabled, or a TMC antenna is connected to the windscreen mount, the Traffic bar is shown on the right-hand side of the Driving View, as shown below:

Traffic will immediately try to retrieve the latest traffic information.

Note: TomTom Traffic connects to TomTom using a wireless data connection on your mobile phone. You must be connected to your phone and you must have a wireless data subscription with your mobile network operator.

For information about connecting to your phone, see Hands-Free Calling on page 43.

Updating traffic information

If you are using TomTom Traffic, there are two ways to update the traffic information:

•Tap Update traffic info in the Traffic menu.

• Set Traffic to be updated automatically at regular intervals.

To do this, tap Change Traffic preferences in the Traffic menu. Select Automatically update traffic info while on route, then tap Done.

You are then asked if you want to limit how often Traffic is updated.

If you choose not to limit how often Traffic is updated, then TomTom will send updated traffic information to your GO as soon as it has it.

If you choose to limit how often Traffic is updated, you are asked to set a time.

TomTom saves this time limit and sends new traffic information at the interval you set. If there is no new traffic information, then TomTom will not send any information to your GO. This saves you money by not using your wireless data connection when there is no new information.

If you are using the TomTom RDS-TMC Traffic Receiver, traffic information is automatically updated constantly.

Using traffic information

Having up-to-date traffic information can help you to reduce your trip time. To set your GO to use traffic information and change your route to avoid traffic problems, follow these steps:

•

1. Tap Change Traffic preferences in the Traffic menu.

2. Select Automatically optimizeroute after every update.

After your GO gets new traffic information, it will automatically optimize your route.

Note: The best route may be the same as the route originally planned.

Chapter 20 How Does Navigation Work?

How Does Navigation Work?

Global Positioning System (GPS)

In order to navigate you to your destination, your TomTom GO must know where you are now. To find your current position, your TomTom GO uses the Global Positioning System (GPS). GPS is available for free and without subscription.

GPS uses satellites to transmit signals to GPS receivers. Your TomTom GO has a built-in GPS receiver. Using the GPS signal, your TomTom GO can work out where you are and how fast you are going. GPS signals work in all weather, anywhere in the world.

Note: Your TomTom GO does not transmit your position, so others cannot use it to track you while you are driving. You can however send your position to TomTom Buddies. For more information, visit

www.tomtom.com/plus

Finding your position faster

Maps

If you use your TomTom GO in combination with TomTom HOME, your GO will download information about where the GPS satellites are going to be for the next 24 hours.

With this information, your GO will be able to find your current position very quickly when it is first switched on.

Once your GO knows where you are and you have told it where you want to go, it uses the digital map on the memory card or hard disk to work out the best route to your destination.

If a defect arises and a valid claim under this Limited Warranty is received by TomTom after the first one hundred and eighty (180) days of the Warranty Period, TomTom is entitled to charge you for any reasonable shipping and handling costs made in connection with the repair or replacement of the Hardware. You must comply with any other return procedures stipulated by TomTom, if any.

7) Except for the Limited Warranty and to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, TomTom and its suppliers provide the Hardware "AS IS AND WITH ALL FAULTS", and hereby disclaim all other warranties and conditions, whether express, implied or statutory, including, but not limited to, any (if any) implied warranties, duties or conditions of: merchantability, noninfringement, quiet enjoyment, system integration, satisfactory quality, fitness for a particular purpose, reliability or availability, accuracy or completeness of responses, results, workmanlike effort, lack of viruses, and reasonable care and skill, all with regard to the Hardware, and the provision of or failure to provide support or other services, information, software, and related content through the Hardware or otherwise arising out of the use of the Hardware. This exclusion does not apply to (i) any implied condition as to title and (ii) any implied warranty as to conformity with description. If applicable law requires any implied warranties with respect to the Hardware, all such warranties are limited in duration to ninety (90) days. Some states and/or jurisdictions do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above may not apply to you.

11) Notwithstanding the above, neither party's liability for death or personal injury resulting from its own negligence shall be limited.

12) Some states and/or jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you.

Chapter 22 Battery notes

Battery notes

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

Note: Your TomTom GO uses a small amount of battery power to maintain its state when you switch it off. If you do not charge it for a prolonged period of time then you will lose this state and your TomTom GO will re-start. Your settings will, however, be kept.
