Everyone Loves TomTom GO
Start...
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 visible to others.
Always store your GO in the carry case to
protect the screen.
Back Up Your TomTom GO
Take Care of 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.
It ’s always a go od ide a t o make a ba ckup o f t he
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 24.
• 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.

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.
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.
Locating Your Current Position
Your TomTom GO must be outdoors 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.
Getting started
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 26.
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).
EN
In the future, your position will be found much
more quickly, normally within a few seconds.
