Welcome to navigation with TomTom

This User Manual explains all you need to know about your new TomTom Go Navigation app.

The Get going chapter is a great place to start. You'll learn all about starting up and setting up your app, and you'll see a quick introduction to TomTom services. To help you avoid traffic delays and get to your destination quicker, you can use TomTom services even on the routes you drive every day.

For information about what you see in the app, go to What's on the screen

To plan your first route, go to Planning a route.

Tip: There are also frequently asked questions (FAQs) at tomtom.com/support. Select the app name from the list or enter a search term.

We hope you enjoy reading about and, most importantly, using your new TomTom Go Navigation app!

Starting the app

Get going

Tap this button on your device to start the TomTom Go Navigation app.

TomTom Go

Starting the app for the first time

When you start the TomTom Go Navigation app for the first time, you see the following screens:

 Tour - These screens show you the main features of the app.  Enable Location Services - You are asked if the app can use your current location. You must agree to this so

that the app can find your location on the map.

 Your Information - You are asked if you want to send your information

send your information, you can still plan routes, but you cannot use TomTom services. Select Yes to send your information.

 Download a Map - Browse the list of maps and select the Download button to install one. We recommend

that you start by downloading the map that covers the area where you are currently located. Once the map has downloaded, select the Done button to continue. You can download other maps at any time.

Important: A map is a large file that can take a long time to download. To prevent high data charges we advise you to download a map using a Wi-Fi® connection. You must download at least one map before you can use the TomTom Go Navigation app.

 The map view.  Access Your Contacts - You are asked to allow the TomTom Go Navigation app to access your Contact so

that you can use the addresses stored there.

to TomTom. If you choose not to

The app has been started before

If you have started the app before, you see the map view.

If the app was in the background, you see the last screen you were looking at.

Subscriptions

To use the TomTom Go Navigation app, you need to purchase a subscription.

The subscription automatically renews at the end of each billing term. You can cancel your subscription at any time. You need to cancel at least 24 hours before the next renewal date.

The only difference between subscriptions is how long they last. All of them offer the same benefits: TomTom Go Navigation app with our most up-to-date downloadable world maps, enhanced by real-time services like TomTom Traffic, Speed Cameras, and Online Search.

If a free trial is offered with your subscription (offer limited to one free trial period per user), the subscription will only be charged at the advertised price at the end of the trial period. You can manage your subscriptions and turn off the auto-renewal at any time on the App Store account management page. If you cancel the subscription while still in the trial period, you will not get charged.

For existing users of the TomTom Go Navigation app, the new app recognizes existing subscriptions bought for any of the previous versions of the app (unlimited navigation subscriptions under the old product name of TomTom GO Mobile). So, if you still have a valid subscription in that app, you just select ‘restore purchases’ and log in with your TomTom credentials. Once the old subscription expires in the new app, you will be asked to purchase a new subscription to continue using the app.

Language

The language used for buttons and menus in the TomTom Go Navigation app is the same as the language you selected in your phone settings. If the selected language isn't supported by the TomTom Go Navigation app then English is used.

If you change the phone language, the voice used for spoken directions and other route instructions in the TomTom Go Navigation app might not be compatible with the new language. You will be asked to download a compatible voice.

Important: A voice can be a large file that can take a long time to download. To prevent high data charges we advise you to download a voice using Wi-Fi connection.

Sending information to TomTom

When you first start the app or you have reset the app, you are asked for permission to send your location to TomTom and to send information about how you use the app. We use your location to provide TomTom services near you and along your route, and to keep your map up-to-date. We learn how you use the app so we can continually improve.

You can read more about how we use your information by selecting More information in the Send information settings screen.

You can choose which information you share in the Send information settings screen.

Note: If you choose not to send location information to us, you will no longer receive our services. This is because services need to send the location of your device to TomTom in order to receive the traffic information related to where you are.

Additional information

If you think that your information is not being used for the purpose for which you have provided it to TomTom, contact us at tomtom.com/support

You can find current and more detailed information at tomtom.com/privacy.

About TomTom services

Your TomTom Go Navigation app has the following TomTom services:

 Traffic and Speed Cameras - See real-time information about traffic and speed cameras or danger zones

on your route. To help you avoid traffic delays and get to your destination more quickly, you can use TomTom Traffic even on the routes you drive every day. When your device is connected to the Internet, the TomTom Go Navigation app is always connected to TomTom Traffic and Speed Cameras - you don't have to do anything to activate these services.

 MyDrive Sync - Syncing using TomTom MyDrive is the easy way to set a destination, share locations and

favourites, and save your personal navigation information. Log in to MyDrive to sync with your TomTom account.

 Online Search - Enhance your search results with online data.

Note: Some TomTom services might not be available in your current location.

Note: If you choose not to send location information to us, you will no longer receive our services. This is

because services need to send the location of your device to TomTom in order to receive the traffic information related to where you are.

Important: To use TomTom services you need a continuous data connection. Your mobile operator may charge you for using a wireless data connection.

Switching TomTom services on and off

The Traffic and Speed Cameras and Online Search services are on by default and the MyDrive service is off by default. You can switch them on and off as follows.

1. Select the Main Menu button to open the Main Menu.

2. Select TomTom Services in the main menu.

3. Select a service to switch it on or off.

Updating your TomTom Go Navigation app

You can let your TomTom Go Navigation app be updated automatically, or you can manually check for an update by going to the app store.

Downloading a map

When you start the TomTom Go Navigation app you have to download a map. Browse the list of maps and select the Download button to install one. We recommend that you start by downloading the map that covers the area where you are currently located. Once the map has downloaded, select the Done button to continue.

Important: A map is a large file that can take a long time to download. To prevent high data charges we advise you to download a map using a Wi-Fi connection.

While the map is downloading you can use other apps. If the Wi-Fi connection is lost, the download automatically pauses to prevent high data charges. You must keep the TomTom Go Navigation app open while paused or you will lose the part of the map you have already downloaded. You can use other apps while paused.

If Wi-Fi connection is lost, you can choose to continue downloading using your mobile network connection.

Location services

When you first start the TomTom Go Navigation app, it may need a few minutes to find your GPS position and show your current location on the map. Make sure you have GPS activated on your device.

In areas where location services do not operate normally, such as tunnels, your location may not be accurate.

Important: The navigation app cannot give you route instructions until it has received location data.

Some devices need a data connection to obtain a GPS location.

If your device has no GPS reception, the navigation app uses positioning information from Wi-Fi networks or mobile phone towers. This information is used for route planning and to determine your approximate location, but is not accurate enough to use for route instructions.

Installing in your car

Only use a suitable mount to hold your device when you are using it in your car.

Be careful where you install your device in your car. The device shouldn't block or interfere with any of the following:

 Your view of the road.  The controls in your car.  Your rear-view mirrors.  The airbags.

You should be able to reach the device easily without leaning or stretching.

Closing or running in the background

You can choose to continue running the TomTom Go Navigation app when it is in the background, or you can let your device pause the TomTom Go Navigation app in the background when another app is started.

If the app is running in the background and you are driving on a planned route, you continue to hear driving instructions.

If the app is running in the background, the Run in Background

menu, in Settings, gives you these further

options:

 Tell me when a faster route is available.  Return to app during a call.

If the app is paused in the background for a long time your device eventually closes the app.

Getting help

Select Support in the Main Menu to see different ways you can get help.

For warranty and privacy information, go to tomtom.com/legal.

Traffic

About TomTom Traffic

TomTom Traffic is a TomTom service providing real-time traffic information.

In combination with historical road usage data, TomTom Traffic helps you plan the optimum route to your destination taking into account the current local traffic conditions and the weather.

Your TomTom Go Navigation app regularly receives information about the changing traffic conditions. If traffic jams, heavy rain, snow or other incidents are found on your current route, your TomTom Go Navigation app will offer to replan your route to try and avoid any delays.

To get TomTom services on your TomTom Go Navigation app, your phone must have a mobile data connection.

Important: If you are outside of the area covered by your mobile data plan, you may be liable for extra roaming charges while using TomTom services.

Note: Some TomTom services might not be available in your current location.

Looking at traffic on the map

Traffic incidents are shown on the map. If several traffic incidents overlap the highest priority incident is shown

- for example, a road closure is higher priority than road works or a closed lane.

Tip: Select an incident on the map to see more detailed information.

1. Traffic incident that affects your route in your direction of travel.

A symbol or number at the start of the incident shows the type of incident or the delay in minutes, for example 5 minutes.

The colour of the incident indicates the speed of traffic relative to the maximum allowed speed at that location, with red being the slowest. The stripes on the traffic jam are also animated to show the speed of the traffic, where appropriate.

For a complete list of incident types, see Traffic incidents.

Looking at traffic on your route

Information about traffic incidents on your route is shown in the route bar on the right-hand side of the map and guidance views.

The route bar tells you about traffic delays while you are driving, using symbols to show you where each traffic incident is located on your route. When using the map view, you can also select symbols on the map itself.

Note: If your TomTom Go Navigation app isn't receiving any traffic information, a symbol showing traffic with a cross appears underneath the arrival information panel.

Note: To make the route bar more readable some incidents may not be shown. These incidents will always be of minor importance and only cause short delays.

To get more information about an incident, select an incident in the route bar. The map opens zoomed in on the incident and an information panel opens showing detailed information about the traffic incident.

The information shown includes:

 The cause of the traffic incident - for example accident, road works, lane closure, or weather.  The severity of the incident - slow traffic, queuing traffic or stationary traffic.  The delay time.  The length of the incident.

For a complete list of incident types, see Traffic incidents.

Select the back button to go back to the guidance view.

The following traffic incident symbols are used in the map view and in the route bar to show the cause of a traffic jam:

Approaching a traffic jam warning

A warning is given as you approach a traffic jam. You are warned in several ways:

 A warning symbol is shown in the route bar (page 14).  The route bar zooms in to the start of the traffic jam.  Your distance to the start of the traffic jam is shown in the route bar.  The colour of the road on the route bar changes to orange or red, depending

on the severity of the traffic jam.

 The background colour of the route bar background changes to red if you are

driving too fast towards the traffic jam.

 You hear a warning sound.

To change the way you are warned, select Sounds & Warnings in the Settings menu.

Avoiding a traffic jam on your route

You can avoid a traffic jam that is on your route.

Note: Sometimes the quickest route is still the route that has the traffic jam.

Note: It may not be possible to find an alternative route around the traffic jam if none exists.

Avoiding a traffic jam using the route bar

1. In the route bar, select the symbol for the traffic jam you want to avoid.

The traffic jam is shown on the map.

2. Select Avoid.

Moving Lane Guidance

Note: Lane guidance is not available for all junctions or in all countries.

Moving Lane Guidance helps you prepare for motorway exits and junctions by showing the correct driving lane for your planned route.

As you approach an exit or junction, the lane you need is shown on the screen.

Tip: To close the lane image, select anywhere on the screen.

You can also switch off lane guidance. Go to Appearance in Settings to change the Motorway exit previews setting.

Time-dependent speed limits

Some speed limits change depending on the time of day. For example, you may see the speed limit near schools decrease to 40 km/h or 25 mph in the morning between 08.00 - 09.00 and in the afternoon between

15.00 - 16.00. When known, the speed limit shown in the speed panel changes to show these variable speed

limits.

Some speed limits change depending on driving conditions. For example, the speed limit will decrease if there is heavy traffic, or the weather conditions are bad. These variable speed limits are not shown in the speed panel. The speed shown in the speed panel is the maximum speed limit allowed in good driving conditions.

Important: The speed limit shown in the speed panel is only an indication. You must always obey the actual speed limit for the road you are on and the conditions you are driving in.

Using search

About search

You use search to find a wide range of places and then navigate to them. These places are found either from the information currently stored in your app, or if your device is connected to the internet, from the online data available.

You can search for the following:

 A specific address, for example, 123 Oxford Street, London.  A partial address, for example, Oxford st Lon.  A type of place, for example, petrol station or restaurant.  A place by name or brand, for example, Starbucks.  A postcode, for example, W1D 1LL for Oxford Street, London.  A city to navigate to a city centre, for example, London.  A Point of Interest (POI) near your current location, for example, restaurant near me.  A contact in your smartphone contacts app.  Latitude and longitude coordinates, for example,

N 51°30′31″ W 0°08′34″.

The main search menu shows the three most recent destinations. You can get to other recently found results when you select More recents.

Starting a search

Important: In the interest of safety and to avoid distractions while you are driving, you should always plan a

route before you start driving.

You can start a search by either tapping the search bar at the top of the map view, or by selecting Search from the main menu.

To start a basic search, do the following:

1. Tap on the search bar at the top of the map or select Search from the main menu.

The search screen opens with the keyboard showing.

2. Use the keyboard to enter the name of the place you want to plan a route to, enter the type of Point Of Interest (POI), or select one of the popular POI categories to immediately see a list of these locations in your area.

Tip: If you press and hold (page 18) a letter key on the keyboard, you get access to extra characters if they are available. For example, press and hold the letter "e" to access characters 3 e è é ê ë and more.

You can search for a POI type, such as a restaurant or tourist attraction. Alternatively, you can search for a specific POI, for example "Dozo Restaurant".

Note: When searching, the whole map is searched. If you want to change how the search is done, select the search type button and then select a search option.

3. As you type, suggestions based on what you have entered are shown. You can continue typing or select a suggestion.

Tip: To see more results, hide the keyboard or scroll down the results list.

Tip: You can switch between seeing the results on the map or in a list by selecting the list/map button:

4. Select a POI type or an individual POI. If you selected a POI type, select a POI.

The location is shown on the map.

Working with search results

Your search results are shown in the columns Addresses, Points of Interest and Contacts. Select a column or swipe left or right to show the column.

Address and city matches are shown in the Addresses column, and POIs, types of POIs and Places are shown in the Points of Interest column. The Contacts column shows contacts that are in your phone's Contacts app.

Tip: To see more results, hide the keyboard or scroll down the results list.

Tip: You can switch between seeing the results on the map or in a list by selecting the list/map button:

When you select an address from the list of search results, you can choose to show it on the map, add a crossroad or plan a route to that chosen location. To get an exact address you can add the house number.

If you show the result on the map, you can use the pop-up menu to add the location to My Places.

Note: The best search results are shown on the map. When you zoom in, the lower ranked search results are gradually shown.

About postcodes

When searching using a postcode, your results depend on the type of postcode used in the country that you are searching in.

The following types of postcodes are used:

 Postcodes that navigate you to a street or part of a street.  Postcodes that navigate you to an area comprising, for example, a single town, several villages in a rural

area or a district in a large city.

Postcodes for streets

Countries such as the Netherlands and the United Kingdom use this type of postcode. When you search using this type of postcode, enter the postcode, then leave a space and then optionally enter the house number. For example, "SS15 5UR 27". Your device then plans a route to a specific house or building on a specific street.

Postcodes for areas

Countries such as Germany, France and Belgium use this type of postcode. If you search using a postcode for an area, your results include all the streets in a city district, the whole town, or the villages within that postcode.

When using quick search, you may get results from multiple countries if you enter a postcode for an area.

Note: If you search using a postcode for an area, you will not get a specific address in your results.

This type of postcode is still very useful in reducing the number of search results. For example, a search for Neustadt in Germany returns a long list of possible results. Adding a space followed by the postcode for an area narrows the results down to the Neustadt that you are looking for.

As another example, if you want to search in a city, enter a postcode for an area and select the city centre you are searching for from the results.

Speed Cameras

About speed cameras

The Speed Cameras service warns you about the following camera locations:

 Fixed speed camera locations.  Mobile speed camera locations.  Mobile speed camera hotspots.  Average speed camera locations.  Speed enforcement zones.  Red light camera locations.  Traffic restriction cameras.

The Speed Cameras service also warns you about accident blackspot locations.

To get TomTom services in your TomTom Go Navigation app, your device must have a mobile data connection.

Important: If you are outside of the area covered by your mobile data plan, you may be liable for extra roaming charges while using TomTom services.

Important: The Speed Cameras service isn't available in all countries. For example, in France, TomTom offers a Danger Zone service instead and in Switzerland, no speed camera services are permitted at all. In Germany, you are responsible for switching the Speed Cameras service on or off. The issue of the legality of using speed camera services in Germany and other EU countries is not unique. You therefore use this service at your own risk. TomTom accepts no liability arising from the use of this service.

Speed camera warnings

 A symbol is shown in the route bar (page 14  Your distance to the speed camera is shown in the route bar.  The speed limit at the camera location is shown in the route bar.  You hear a warning sound as you get near the camera.  While you are approaching a camera or driving in an average speed check area, your speed is monitored. If

you drive more than 5 km/h or 3 mph over the speed limit the route bar turns red. If you drive less than 5 km/h or 3 mph over the speed limit the route bar turns orange.

Tip: In the map view (page 10) or guidance view, you can select a speed camera symbol in the route bar to see the type of camera, the maximum speed and also the length of an average speed check area. In the map view, you can also select a speed camera that is shown on your route.

Danger Zones

About danger zones and risk zones

The Danger Zones service warns you about danger zones and risk zones on your route when you are in France.

Since 3rd January 2012, it has been illegal to receive warnings about the position of fixed or mobile speed cameras when you are driving in France. To be compliant with this change in French law, speed camera locations are no longer reported but instead areas of danger are indicated as danger zones and risk zones.

Important: Outside of France, you receive warnings about speed cameras. Inside France, you receive warnings about danger zones and risk zones. When you cross the border, the type of warning you receive changes.

A danger zone is a zone specified by French law. A risk zone is a temporary danger zone reported by users. The Danger Zones service warns you about both danger zones and risk zones in the same way.

Danger zones and risk zones may or may not contain one or more speed cameras or a range of other driving hazards:

 Specific locations are not available and a danger zone icon is shown instead as you approach the zone.  The minimum length of the zone depends on the road type and is 300 m for roads in built-up areas, 2000

m (2 km) for secondary roads and 4000 m (4 km) for motorways.

 The location of one or more speed cameras, if any, can be at any point within the zone.  If two danger zones are close to each other, the warnings can be merged into a single longer zone.

Information about the location of zones is continually updated by TomTom and other users and frequently sent to your TomTom Go Navigation app so that you always have the latest information. You can also contribute by reporting new risk zone locations.

To get TomTom services on your TomTom Go Navigation app, your device must have a mobile data connection.

Important: If you are outside of the area covered by your mobile data plan, you may be liable for extra roaming charges while using TomTom services.

Note: You cannot remove a danger zone or a risk zone.

If you drive more than 5

km/h or 3 mph over the speed limit the route bar turns red. If you drive less than 5 km/h or 3 mph over the speed limit the route bar turns orange.

Safety Messages

Important! Read before use!

Death or serious injury could result from failure or partial failure to follow these warnings and instructions.

Notice for oversized/commercial vehicles

Devices without a truck map installed will not provide appropriate routes for oversized/commercial vehicles. If your vehicle is subject to weight, dimension, speed, route, or other restrictions on a public road then you must only use a device that has a truck map installed. Your vehicle specifications must be entered accurately on the device. Use this device as a navigation aid only. Do not follow navigation instructions which may put you or other road users in danger. TomTom accepts no liability for damages resulting from your failure to observe this notice.

Use with care

It is your responsibility to use best judgment, due care and attention when using this navigation app. Don't allow interaction with this navigation app to distract you while driving. Minimise the time spent looking at the screen displaying the navigation app while driving. You are responsible for observing laws that limit or prohibit the use of mobile phones or other electronic devices, for example, the requirement to use hands-free options for making calls when driving. Always obey applicable laws and road signs, especially those relating to your vehicle’s dimensions, weight and payload type. TomTom does not guarantee the error-free operation of this navigation app nor the accuracy of route suggestions provided and shall not be liable for any penalties arising from your failure to comply with applicable laws and regulations.

Special Note Regarding Driving in California, Minnesota and Other States

California Vehicle Code Section 26708 which applies to those driving within the State of California restricts the mounting of a navigation device on the windshield to a seven-inch square in the lower corner of the windshield farthest removed from the driver or in a five-inch square in the lower corner of the windshield nearest to the driver and outside of an airbag deployment zone, if the system is used only for door-to-door navigation while the motor vehicle is being operated. Drivers in California should not mount the device on their side or rear windows.

Minnesota State Legislature Statutes Section 169.71, subdivision 1, section 2 restricts any person driving within the State of Minnesota from driving with a device suspended between the driver and the windshield.

Many other states have enacted laws which restrict the placement of any object or material on the windshield, side or rear window that obstructs a driver's clear view of the road. It is incumbent upon the driver to be aware of all applicable laws and to place the device in such a manner that will not interfere with his/her driving.

TomTom Inc. bears no responsibility for and hereby disclaims all liability for any fines, penalties or damage incurred by a driver for violations of the law. While driving in any state with windshield mounting restrictions, TomTom recommends using the supplied Adhesive Mounting Disk or purchasing an alternative mounting system (e.g. dashboard or air vents). See tomtom.com (see tomtom.com - http://www.tomtom.com

) for more

information about these mounting options.
