New look & feel

The look & feel of the interface is new, fresh and
modern: all-new graphics with rounded,
3D buttons and enhanced graphic details.

New: Improved Map display

Provides you with a better-than-ever overview.
Map display now has rounded status bars,
shading, grass paths, and building footprints too,
to help give you an even better feel for where
you are.

New: Speech recognition

Saying an address, to tell your device where
to take you, is much easier than typing. New
TomTom GO knows millions of names and
understands you as you speak the city and
street names.

Speech recognition is available in almost
all European countries.

Just say the city, street name, house number and
you’re away:

Or tap the “speech input” button when a
keyboard is displayed:

Now, when a text message arrives on your
Bluetooth® mobile phone, your TomTom speaks
to you, to ask:

“A new message was received; shall I read
it aloud?” and if you say “Yes” - all without
touching the TomTom screen at all - TomTom
reads you the message, using text-to-speech

technology.

In case of a traffic delay, You can say “yes” or
“no” to answer a question like:

“Traffic delay on your route now 18 minutes;
shall I try to optimise?”

New: Personalised “Quick”

menu of short-cuts

Make TomTom even quicker and safer to use

- select your favourite functions to appear on the
new “Quick” menu. Now, when you’re driving, all
your favourite features are just two taps away.

The new short-cut menu is available direct from
the navigation menu. Choose which of your
favourite features you’d like to have on it:

New: Country switcher

If your maps cover more than one country,
then when you start entering a city name
it only matches with city names from your
country or state. So address entry is quicker,
easier, mistake-free.

If you are heading for a different country, just tap
the country button and switch country.

New: Battery saving options

New power-saving options mean you’ll always
find TomTom GO ready to go when you are.

New: You can turn off the display between
instructions (for example when you are driving
on a highway for the next 50 kilometres)

New: If connected to your PC but not in use,
the TomTom turns off automatically after a few
minutes, which extends battery life.
