Getting started2.
Getting started
Install your TomTom ONE in your car following the instructions on the
installation poster at the start of this book.
To switch on your TomTom ONE, press and hold the On/Off button for 2
seconds. The first time you switch on your device, it may take a short while to
start.
You have to answer a few questions to set up your device.
Having problems?
In rare cases, your ONE may not start correctly or may stop responding to
your taps.
First, check that the battery is charged properly. To fully charge the battery,
you need to charge it for at least 2 hours.
If this doesn’t work, you can reset your device. To do this, press and hold the
Power button for fifteen seconds. Release the Power button when device
begins to restart.
Charging your TomTom ONE
Before you use your ONE for the first time, it’s a good idea to charge it fully
using the home charger, which takes about 2 hours.
There is no charging light on your ONE. To check the battery status and see
when your ONE is charging, switch on your device and tap the bottom righthand corner of the screen in the Driving View. The battery status is shown on
the next page.
Improving reception
If your TomTom ONE takes longer than 5 minutes to find your current
position, make sure that the device is in an open space away from tall objects
such as buildings or trees.
When you connect your TomTom ONE to your computer, you can use
TomTom HOME to download information about GPS satellite positions during
the next 7 days. This helps your ONE to find your position faster.
Important: Some vehicles have heat reflective shielding in the windshield.
This may prevent your ONE from locating your current position.
Take care of your TomTom ONE
Never leave your TomTom ONE or accessories in view when you leave the car
or they may become an easy target for thieves.

You can set a password for your TomTom ONE which must be entered every
time you start your ONE.
It is important to take care of your ONE.
• Your ONE is not designed for use in extreme temperatures and any such
exposure may cause permanent damage.
• Do not open the casing of your ONE under any circumstances. Doing so
may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
• Wipe or dry the screen of your ONE using a soft cloth. Do not use any liquid
cleaners.

Making your first trip4.
Making your first trip
Planning a route with your TomTom ONE 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 ONE are shown in full color 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 center - tap this button to set your destination as the center of a city
or town.
• Street and house number - tap this button to set an exact address as your
destination.
• ZIP code - tap this button to enter a ZIP code as your destination.
Note: You can enter a ZIP code for any country. In the UK and the Netherlands,
ZIP codes are detailed enough to identify a house on their own. In other
6
countries you can enter a ZIP code to identify a town or area. You will then
have to enter a street and house number.
• Cross street or intersection - tap this button to set your destination as the
point where two streets meet.
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 ONE 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.
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.
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.
8. Your ONE asks if you need to arrive at a particular time. For this exercise,
tap NO.

Arrival times
The route is calculated by your ONE.
9. When the route has been calculated, tap Done.
Your ONE will immediately begin to guide you to your destination, using both
spoken instructions and on-screen directions.
When you plan a route, your TomTom ONE asks you if you need to arrive at a
particular time.
Tap YES to enter a preferred arrival time.
Your ONE 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
ONE 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 trip. 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.
Ta p Status bar preferences in the Preferences menu, to enable or disable
arrival time notifications.

• Walking route - a route designed for making the trip on foot.
• Bicycle route - a route designed for making the trip on a bicycle.

Finding alternative routes5.
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 gas.
• You want to avoid a difficult intersection or a road you don’t like.
Ta p 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 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.
12
Tap this button to change your route so that it passes a particular location,
perhaps to pick someone up on the way.

Avoid part of
route
Minimize
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, Favorite, Point of Interest and Point on map.
Your ONE will calculate a new route to your destination that passes the
location you chose. Unlike your final destination, your ONE does not inform
you when you pass by this location.
Tap this button to return to the original route without deviations to avoid
roadblocks or traveling 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 ONE will check if there are any traffic problems on
your route and work out the best route to avoid the problems.
Note: This button is only available with TomTom Traffic enabled.
