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 windshield 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.
Back Up 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
Using TomTom HOME
on
page 44.
Use the safety preferences
To make driving even safer with your TomTom ONE, use the
Safety preferences
in
the Preferences menu.
You can choose to use the safety lock. If the safety lock is enabled, only a few
buttons and features are available while you are driving. When you are stationary,
all the buttons and features are available.
You can also choose to turn the map display off.
For more information, see
Safety preferences
on page 30.

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.

Getting started
Switching on
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
Preferences
on page 29.
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
Driving View
on page 13.
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
color and shows your position on the map.
6
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
windshield that 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).

Making your first trip
Planning a route with TomTom ONE is very simple. To plan your first route, follow
the steps below.
1. Tap the screen to bring up the main menu.
2. Tap
Navigate to...
For your first journey, we will navigate to an address.

destination.
•
Postcode

•
Crossing or intersection
- tap this button to set your destination as the point
where two streets meet.
Note: You should always plan your journeys before you start driving. It is
dangerous to plan routes when you are already moving.
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 countries you can enter a zip code to identify a town or area. You
will then have to enter a street and address.

For your first trip, we will enter an exact address.
4. Tap
Street and house number
.
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.

As with the name of the town, the names of the streets that match what you
have typed are shown.
7. Now enter the house number of your destination and then tap

9. When the route has been calculated, tap
Done
.
TomTom ONE will immediately start guiding you to your destination with spoken
instructions and visual instructions on the screen.
Arrival times
Ta p
YES
to enter an arrival time.
Your ONE calculates your arrrival 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 you 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 late, as shown below:
Note: Before you can plan a route in this way, TomTom ONE must first
locate your current position.
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.

Finding alternative routes

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.
Find
alternative...
Ta p Find alternative... in the Main Menu to change the route that is currently
planned.
Then tap one of the options below.
Calculate
alternative
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.
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.
Avoid
roadblock
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.
16
Travel vi a...
Tap this button to change your route so that it passes a particular location,
perhaps to pick someone up on the way.
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.
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.
Recalculate
original
Tap this button to return to the original route without any deviations for
roadblocks or to travel via particular locations.
Avoid part of
route
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.
Minimize
traffic delays
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.
