Start TomTom Navigation app for iPhone/iPad
TomTom
Tap this button on your iPhone, iPod, iPad or iPad mini to start the
TomTom app.
When the TomTom app supports the same language you selected for
your iOS device, the language used for buttons and menus in the app is
the same as the language on your iOS device. If the TomTom app does
not support the language you selected for your iOS device, then English
is used in the app.
If a route is already planned, the Driving View is shown and navigation
starts immediately. If no route is planned the Main menu is shown.
Getting Started
The TomTom app works in the same way on the iPhone, the iPod touch, the iPad and the iPad
mini. The iPad and the iPad mini have larger screens which means that menus appear over the
Driving View instead of as full-screen menus.
Starting for the first time
When you start the TomTom app for the first time or after a reset, you will see the following
screens:
Legal Notice - You must read and agree to the Legal Notice before you can use the app.
Voice Download - If your TomTom App supports Advanced voices in your language you are
given the option to download an Advanced voice.
Your Information - When you use a TomTom LIVE service such as HD Traffic or Local search,
we ask you to send information about you and your iOS device to TomTom. The first time you
use a LIVE service please read the details about how each service uses your information. Tap
Yes to allow your information to be sent. If you don't agree to send your information the service will not work.
When you start your TomTom app for the first time you will also see information about the app's
new features.
If the TomTom app cannot find your location, check that Location Services are enabled for the app
in your iOS Privacy settings.
Updating your TomTom Navigation app for iPhone/iPad
If you have an old version of TomTom app on your iOS device, you must update to the latest version of TomTom app before continuing to read this guide.
To download and update your iOS device with the latest version of TomTom app, go to the iOS
App Store.

GPS reception
The iPod touch, the iPad (WiFi only models), and the original iPhone do not include a GPS receiver. To use these devices for navigation, you need to connect them to a GPS accessory device.
Note: Using a GPS accessory device can also improve the accuracy of GPS in other iPhone
models.
When you first start the TomTom app, it may need a few minutes to find your GPS position and
show your current location on the map.
To make sure you have good GPS reception, you should use your device outdoors. Large objects
such as tall buildings can sometimes interfere with reception.
Important: The TomTom app cannot give you route instructions until it has GPS reception. Make
sure Location Services are switched on.
If your device has no GPS reception, the TomTom app uses positioning information from WiFi
networks or mobile phone towers. This information is used for route planning and to determine
your approximate location.
Location Services
Location Services on your iOS device allow the TomTom app to use cellular, Wi-Fi and Global
Positioning System (GPS) networks to determine your location. If Location Services are turned off,
the TomTom app will not be able to determine your location or guide you to your destination.
If Locations Services are turned off you see the message Turn On Location Services to Allow
TomTom app To Determine Your Location.
To turn Location Services on, do the following:
1. Tap Settings in the Locations Services message to open the Apple Location Services screen.
2. Tap Location Services to switch it ON.
3. A list of apps which use Location Services is shown. Tap TomTom app to turn it ON so it can
use Location Services.

for vehicles, taking into account the real average speeds measured on the roads.
7. When the new route is shown, tap Done.

on-screen directions.

Finding an alternative route
Once you have planned a route, you may want to change something about the route, without
changing your destination. You may want to find an alternative route for one or more of the following 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 get gas.
You want to avoid a difficult junction or a busy narrow street.
Planning a route in advance
You can use the TomTom app to plan a route in advance by selecting your starting point and your
destination.
You can use advanced route planning to check a route or the time it will take, and you can add the
route to your calendar and use it later.
To plan a route in advance, do the following:
1. Tap the screen to open the Main menu.
2. Tap Advanced Planning.
3. Select the starting point for your trip in the same way that you would select your destination.
4. Set the destination for your trip.
5. Choose the type of route that should be planned.
Fastest - the route which takes the least time.
Eco Route - the most fuel-efficient route.
Shortest - the shortest distance between the locations you set. This may not be the quick-
est route, especially if the shortest route is through a town or city.
Avoid highways - a route which avoids highways.
Winding Roads - a route that avoids unnecessary highways and includes winding roads,
with the aim of making the route fun and entertaining.
Walking Route - a route designed for making the trip on foot.
Bicycle Route - a route designed for making the trip 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. Choose when you will make the trip you are planning. You can set the date and time in 5 mi-
nute intervals. If you want to add the route to your calendar choose a date in the future.
The TomTom app uses IQ Routes to work out the best possible route at that time, using the
real average speeds measured on roads. In this way you can compare how long a trip takes at
different times of day, or on different days of the week.
7. Tap Prepare Route. The TomTom app plans the route between the two locations you selected.
8. To add the route to your calendar, click Options then Add to My Calendar.

Speed Cameras and Safety-related Features
Where permitted by the laws of the country you are driving in, speed cameras and danger zones
are shown in the driving view when they are on your driving route. Due to changes in legislation in
France, all types of speed camera locations are now reported as danger zones when driving in
France. You are warned about a speed camera or danger zone 15 seconds before you reach it.
You can select the safety-related features you want to be warned about in Alerts. When driving in
France you are warned as you approach the beginning of each danger zone.
Note: For up-to-date information about speed traps and hotspots, subscribe to the Speed Cam-
eras and Danger Zones Service. This service also keeps information about other types of speed
cameras up to date.
You see warnings about speed cameras and danger zones even when no route is planned. You
will also see warnings about speed cameras and danger zones that might not be directly on your
route.
When you receive a warning, an alert symbol appears in the top-left corner of the Driving View,
and a small symbol appears on your driving route. Where the speed limit is relevant it is shown in
the alert symbol. The distance to the feature is shown at the bottom of the alert symbol. When
driving in speed enforcement zones and danger zones the alert symbol is displayed as you travel
through the zone.
The alert symbol has a green background border when you are driving at or slower than the speed
limit and a red background border when you are driving faster than the speed limit. Tap the alert
symbol to cancel the Speed Cameras warning.
Speed Cameras and Danger Zones warns of the following types of cameras and safety-related
road features:
Note: If you do not have the Speed Cameras and Danger Zones Service the lower part of the
alert symbol is gray and the symbol shown on your route is black.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING DRIVING IN CALIFORNIA AND MINNESOTA
California Vehicle Code Section 26708 "Material Obstructing or Reducing Driver's View" permits
mounting of a navigation device on the windshield as follows: "A portable Global Positioning System (GPS), which may be mounted in 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 use a suction mount on their side or rear windows.
Note: This section of the California Vehicle Code applies to anyone driving in California, not just
California residents.
