Caring for your TomTom GO Expert

To ensure optimal device performance:

CONNECTING TO A WIRELESS NETWORK

Connecting to Wi-Fi®

MAP, SERVICE AND SOFTWARE UPDATES

Why it’s important to download updates

To ensure that you are driving with up-to-date road and trac information, we recommend downloading and installing map region updates, services (e.g., speed cameras) and software updates as soon as they become available.
NOTE: If you stop or cancel a map region update once it has started downloading, go to Settings > Map and display > Downloaded maps to start your download again.

Installing a software update

1. Go to Settings > Updates & New Items
2. From the list, choose the updates you want to install; this list includes items you bought at TomTom’s web shop
3. Sign into your TomTom account following the prompt
During updates, keep your device connected to a power supply.

Installing a map region

1. Make sure there is an active internet connection via Wi-Fi
2. Then go to Main Menu > Settings > Map and display > Downloaded maps and tap Add

Deleting a map region

1. Go to Main Menu > Settings > Map and display > Downloaded maps and tap Delete
2. Now select the region/s you want to delete
NOTE: Installing and updating map regions must be done via Wi-Fi. If the internet connection to the TomTom server is broken or inactive, the Add buttons will be disabled.

Updating map regions

If there are map region updates available, the status of Downloaded maps in Main Menu > Settings > Map & Display will change from Up to date to Updates available. To download these updates:
1. Go to Main Menu > Settings > Map & Display > Downloaded maps
2. Download and install available updates individually
To speed up the download time you may want to select only the countries you want to update instead of all. Installing multiple countries at the same time might need to be done in several steps.

Resetting map

In case of issues with a map or its regions, you can recover your base map in
Main Menu > Settings > System > Reset map
If there is a pending System Update, you will be required to install that update first. The current base map and its installed regions will be deleted from the device and a base map will be reinstalled. You will then be asked to reinstall at least one map region.
