Everyone Loves TomTom ONE XL

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

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

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

Back Up Your TomTom ONE XL

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

For more information about TomTom HOME, see Using TomTom HOME on page 49.

Use the safety preferences

When using your ONE XL, we recommend using the Safety preferences from 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.

Troubleshooting

Always make sure that you are using the latest version of the TomTom application on your ONE XL. You can update the application using TomTom HOME. For more information about TomTom HOME, see Using TomTom HOME on page 49.

If you have problems turning on your TomTom ONE XL, try resetting your ONE XL.

To reset your ONE XL, use a straightened paper clip, or something similar, to push the reset button. The reset button is next to the memory card slot on the bottom of your ONE XL. Then turn your ONE XL on.

Secure your TomTom ONE XL

Set a password for your TomTom ONE XL so that only you can use it. Every time you start your ONE XL you will have to enter your password.

To set the password, you have to run your ONE XL using TomTom HOME. You can then use TomTom HOME to set the password. To set a password on your device, do the following:

1. Connect your ONE XL to your computer and switch it on.

2. Start TomTom HOME if it does not start automatically.

If you do not have TomTom HOME installed, insert the CD that came with your ONE XL to install it.

Alternatively, you can download TomTom HOME from www.tomtom.com. Make sure you always have the latest version of TomTom HOME. For more information about TomTom HOME, see Using TomTom HOME on page 49.

3. In the Planning section, select your ONE XL.

A picture of your ONE XL is shown in the main section of TomTom HOME.

4. Click the On/Off button on the picture of your ONE XL to switch it on in TomTom HOME.

Your ONE XL starts in TomTom HOME. You can now set the password on your ONE XL using TomTom HOME. Don't unplug your ONE XL, just use it as you normally would by clicking the buttons shown on your computer.

5. From the Main Menu in your device, click Change preferences.

6. Click Set owner. You may have to click the arrow until you reach the page where Set owner is shown.

If you cannot find the button Set owner, make sure that all buttons are shown in your ONE XL. Tap the button Show ALL menu options. All buttons will now be shown.

Set owner

You can now set the password for your ONE XL. You can also set your name and address, which will then be shown when your ONE XL starts up.

Take care of your TomTom ONE XL

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

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

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

• Do not open the casing of your ONE XL 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 XL 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

Setting up

Getting started3.

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

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

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

You can change these settings at any time using the Preferences menu. For information about the Preferences menu, see Preferences on page 32.

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

For more information about the Driving View, see Driving View on page 13.

Locating your current position

Your TomTom ONE XL must be outdoors to locate your current position. The first time you start your ONE XL, 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 XL has located your current position, the Driving View is shown in full color and shows your position on the map.

Finding your position faster

You can help your TomTom ONE XL to find your position faster by using QuickGPSfix. QuickGPSfix contains information about the positions of the GPS satellites. Using this information, your ONE XL can locate your position very quickly.

To download QuickGPSfix, connect your ONE XL to your computer. TomTom HOME downloads the information and transfers it to your ONE XL. This information is updated reguarly, so make sure you connect to your computer often.

You can also download QuickGPSfix directly to your device using a wireless data connection on your phone. Your mobile operator may charge you for using a wireless data connection.

Note: Your TomTom ONE XL 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 XL 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 trip4.

Making your first trip

Planning a route with TomTom ONE XL is very simple. To plan your first route, follow the steps below.

Note: You should always plan your journeys before you start driving. It is dangerous to plan routes when you are already moving.

1. Tap the screen to bring up the main menu.

2. Tap Navigate to...

For your first journey, we will navigate to an address.

3. Tap Address.

When you enter an address, you can choose from four 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 countries you can enter a zip code to identify a town or area. You will then have to enter a street and address.

• Cross street or intersection - tap this button to set your destination as the

point where two streets meet.

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. When your destination is shown in the list, tap the name of the town to set the destination.

6. Start to type the name of the street.

As with the name of the town, the names of the streets that match what you have typed are shown. When your destination is shown 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 XL asks you whether you need to arrive at a particular time.

Tap YES to enter an arrival time. Your ONE XL shows you whether you will arrive on time. For more information, see Arrival times on page 9.

The route is then calculated by your TomTom ONE XL.

9. When the route has been calculated, tap Done.

Arrival times

TomTom ONE XL will immediately start guiding you to your destination with spoken instructions and visual instructions on the screen.

When you plan a route, your ONE XL asks you if you need to arrive by a particular time:

Tap YES to enter an arrival time.

Your ONE XL 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 XL 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:

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.

What are the other navigation options?

When you tap Navigate to..., you can set your destination in many ways, not just by entering the address. The other options are listed below:

alternative

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.

Then tap one of the options below.

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

Your ONE XL 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 XL 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.

Travel via...

Recalculate

original

Avoid part of

route

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 XL 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 29.

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 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 XL will check if there are any traffic problems on your route and work out the best route to avoid the problems.
