Before you start...

Everyone loves TomTom ONE

So never leave your ONE in your car when you’re not using it - it’s an easy target for thieves.

Always take your ONE, the windscreen holder, and the car charger with you; don’t leave any TomTom products on display.

Always store your ONE in the carry case to protect the screen.

Backup your TomTom ONE

It’s always a good idea to make a backup of the contents of your TomTom ONE. You can make a backup using TomTom HOME.

For more information about TomTom HOME, see page 44.

It is important to take care of your ONE and to clean it correctly.

• Use a soft cloth to wipe the screen of your ONE; do not use any liquid cleaners.

• If your ONE gets wet, dry it with a soft cloth.

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

• 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 ONE 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.

Follow the instructions on the Installation Poster to dock your TomTom ONE in your car.

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

Setting up

You have to answer a few questions to set up your TomTom ONE. Answer the questions by tapping the screen. You will use the touchscreen for everything you do with your ONE.

You can change these settings at any time using the Preferences menu. For information about the Preferences menu, see

Once you have answered the questions, your ONE will display the Driving View. The Driving View is shown in black and white until your ONE locates your current position.

For more information about the Driving View, see

Locating your current position

Your TomTom ONE must be outdoors to locate your current position. The first time you start your ONE, 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.

In the future, your position will be found much faster, normally within a few seconds.

Once your ONE has located your current position, the Driving View is shown in full colour and shows your position on the map.

Note: Your TomTom ONE 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

windscreen, which may prevent TomTom ONE from locating your current position. If this is a problem in your vehicle, use the TomTom External Antenna Kit (available as an accessory).

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.

Ta p Find alternative... in the Main Menu to change the route that is currently planned.

Then tap one of the options below.

Tap this button to calculate an alternative to the route already planned.

Your ONE 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. You then have to choose how much of the route ahead you want to avoid.

Choose from the different options: 100m, 500m, 2000m, 5000m. Your ONE will recalculate your route avoiding the section of the route 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.

traffic delays

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 ONE will calculate a new route to your destination that passes the location you chose.

Using this button, you can only travel via one location. If you want to pass more than one, use an Itinerary. For more information, see Itinerary planning on page 26.

Tap this button to return to the original route without any deviations for roadblocks or to travel 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 well-known 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 ONE will check if there are any traffic problems on your route and work out the best route to avoid the problems.
