Setting up

Before you start1.

Follow the instructions at the start of this manual to dock your TomTom in your car stereo. Your TomTom can also be used without docking it in your car stereo. A mount is available as an accessory so that you can use your TomTom in other cars.

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

To set up your navigation device, 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.

Troubleshooting

Always make sure that you are using the latest version of the TomTom application on your TomTom. You can update the application using TomTom HOME.

If you have problems turning on your TomTom, try resetting your TomTom. To reset your TomTom, use a straightened paper clip, or something similar, to

push the reset button. The reset button is on the bottom of your TomTom. Then turn your TomTom on.

Take care of your TomTom

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

You can set a password for your TomTom which must be entered every time you start your TomTom.

It is important to take care of your TomTom.

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

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

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

Light sensor

Your TomTom uses a light sensor to detect the background light level and can automatically adjusts the brightness of the screen and switch to night view.

To use the light sensor to make these changes, tap Brightness preferences in the Preferences menu. You can then select these options:

• Turn brightness down when dark

• Switch to night view when dark

Link night view to headlights

If you select Link night view to headlights in the settings on your car stereo, your TomTom will switch to night view when you switch on th e headlights in your car. See the manual for your car stereo for information about the settings.

Making your first journey3.

Making your first journey

Planning a route with your TomTom 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 TomTom are shown in full colour 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 centre - tap this button to set your destination as the centre of a city

or town.

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

destination.

• Postcode - tap this button to enter a postcode as your destination.

Note: You can enter a postcode for any country. In the UK and the Netherlands, postcodes are detailed enough to identify a house on their own. In other countries you can enter a postcode to identify a town or area. You will then have to enter a street and house number.

• Crossing 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 TomTom.

In this example, we will enter an exact address.

4. Tap Street and house number.

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

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

Note: Spoken address input is not supported for all maps or for all languages.

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 TomTom.

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.

Arrival times

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

The route is calculated by your TomTom.

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

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

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

Tap YES to enter a preferred arrival time. Your TomTom calculates your arrival time and shows you whether you will

arrive on time. You can also use this information to work out when you need to leave. If your

TomTom 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 journey. 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.

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

Planning a route in advance

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

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

• Check the route of a journey you are planning.

• Check a route for someone who is coming to visit you, so that 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 journey in the same way that you would select your destination.

4. Set the destination for your journey.

5. Choose the type of route that should be planned.

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

• 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 motorways - a route which avoids motorways.

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

• Bicycle route - a route designed for making the journey 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 plans the route between the two locations you selected.

Finding alternative routes4.

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 petrol.

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

Tap 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 TomTom 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. Y ou then have to choose how much of the route ahead you want to avoid.

Choose from the different options: 100m, 500m, 2000m, 5000m. Your TomT om will recalculate your r oute avoiding the section of the r oute 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.

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

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.

Your TomTom will calculate a new route to your destination that passes the location you chose. Unlike your final destination, your TomTom does not inform you when you pass by this location.

Using this button, you can only travel via one location. If you want to pass more than one, use an Itinerary.

Tap this button to return to the original route without deviations to avoid roadblocks or travelling 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 TomTom will check if there are any traffic problems on your route and work out the best route to avoid the problems.

Minimise

delays

Note: This button is only available if your device is receiving traffic information from TomTom Traffic or RDS-TMC (the Traffic Message Channel).

TomTom Map Share9.

TomTom Map Share

TomTom Map ShareTM is a free service that lets you make updates to your map and share those updates with other members of the TomTom Map Share community.

If you find a street that has recently been blocked to traffic, you can use Map Share to update your map and then share the update with other Map Share members.

You can use Map Share to send and receive map updates during the first year after the map’s release date. This means that one year after the release date, you will no longer be able to send or receive map updates for that version of the map. You will still be able to make your own map updates for use on your device.

When you join the TomTom Map Share community you can keep your maps up-to-date with the latest updates made by other Map Share community members.

You choose the type of updates you want and each time you connect your TomTom to TomTom HOME, the map is automatically updated.

TomTom Map Share community

To join the Map Share community, do the following:

1. Tap Map corrections in the Main Menu.

This type of change is immediately shown on your own map. You can h ide these updates at any time in the Map Share preferences menu.

• Updates that are reported to TomTom to be shown on the map after they are verified. These include, missing streets, errors in motorway entrances and exits and missing roundabouts.

This type of update is investigated by TomTom and once verified, is included in the next map release. These updates are therefore not shared with the Map Share community.

Tip: If you cannot see the Map corrections button in the Main Menu, tap Show
