1. Assemble the suction-mount cradle as shown

in the installation poster.

2. Plug the small plug end of the DC power lead

into the socket on the back of the cradle. Plug the other end into your vehicle's 12V (cigarette lighter) socket.

3. Ease TomTom GO onto its cradle by locating

its front edge first and then rotating back fimly until you hear a click. You’ feel TomTom GO lock into place. The green LED on TomTom GO's front panel will light up if the cradle is also connected to your vehicle's 12V socket.

4. Clean the inside of your windscreen (or side

window), to remove any dust and grease. Place the cradle in a suitable location on your windscreen and push the black plastic lever to the right, fixing the cradle in position: NOTE: Some newer vehicles may have a heat reflective shield embedded in the windscreen. In some cases this can prevent proper GPS signal reception. If this tums out to be a problem in your vehicle, you will need to purchase and install the TomTom Extemal Antenna Kit (available as an accessory) Tip: You don't have to use the cradle if you don't want to. If necessary, TomTom GO can be positioned on its own anyw- here thatS convenient, provided that its safely securedl Under normal joumey conditions, the suction mount is perfectly sufficient to hold the cradle in position. Note that suction may be lost if left ovemight, due to condensation and low tem- perature. For this reason, and for security, we recommend removing both the suction mount Installation cradle and TomTom GO when leaving your vehicle ovemight. To remove the cradle, pull the suction mount lever to the left. If the cradle still doesn't detach from your windscreen, tug gently on the clear plastic tab at the edge of the suction mount, to break the vacuum seal. Tip: To activate your 12V socket, you may need to set your ignition key in an ‘Accessories’ position. Please consult your vehicle handbook. In addition, TomTom GO contains a rechargeable battery and can be used for up to 4 hours wit- hout charging, so for short joumeys it may be possible to do without the DC power lead for simpler and tidier operation To adjust the angle of TomTom GO, slacken the adjustable knobs on the cradle and then tum it gentiy. In addition to titing the cradle up and down and from side to side, you can also rotate TomTom GO in the cradle, from left to right, 445°. When you're happy, tighten up the knobs again. Tip: After using TomTom GO, remove it from the cradie by pressing the release button while rotating the unit forward gentiy. Put it in the supplied bag. If you want to clean it, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use water or a solvent.

Switching on for the first time Change phone preferences Cancel AS with many of the menus in TomTom GO, there are more options than can be shown on one screen. Try tapping on D a few times, to cycle through all the different things you can do. Note that this image of the main menu may vary per model and region. Starting up . Refer to your installation poster for setup instructions. Follow the on-screen instructions, using your finger on the touchscreen to select your preferences.

Using TomTom GO Note: Your TomTom GO does not transmit your location, 0 others cannot use it to track you while driving TomTom GO starts by displaying the navigation view. The screen will appear in black and white until your TomTom GO locates your current position. Once this is done, the navigation view is shown in full colour. In future, your position will be found much faster, nomally within a few seconds. Everything on TomTom GO can be accomplished easily using just your finger on the touchscreen. Importantiy, you can bring up the main options menu by tapping your finger somewhere in the middle of the screen. Note: When you use the GO for the first time we advise you to make a backup of your SD card using the backup option on the CD.

Switching on for the first time Using the remote control The remote control is included with the GO 700 model and is also available as an accessory for GO 700 and GO 500 models. You can use the TomTom remote control instead of the main touchscreen in circumstances where you'd rather not reach over and tap the screen directly. The remote control uses radio waves so you don't need to point it at your TomTom GO. Use the arrow buttons to select something on the screen and the central ‘OK’ button to activate the selected command button or icon: You can change the loudness of the GO speaker by using the volume buttons. The two keys near the bottom of the remote control can be used to mimic the buttons appearing at the bottom left and right of the TomTom GO screen. Finally, you can use the keyboard button to make an on- screen keyboard appear or disappear, if appro- priate, allowing you to search for something by name.

How to plan your first route How to plan your first route

1. Move outside, if you haven't already done so,

so that the GPS hardware can locate your position. This may take some time, and will happen more quickly if you remain stationary. The screen displays your current position on its map, represented in a ‘8D' navigation view, from a driver's perspective. When you start moving, the navigation view will match the streets outside as you would see them through your windscreen. Your position (and direction) is indicated by the icon.

2. Bring up the main menu as explained previ-

ousiy. Use D a few times to browse through all the different things you can do, then choose “Navigate to. < to start planning your first route. Remember that D always means that there's Don't wony if some of the icons are ‘greyed out’, this. more to see on the next page, in this case extra just indicates that these menu options aren't availa- ways of choosing a destination. bie yet. E.g. as you haven't yet planned a route then “Find altemative.…, * View route’ and ‘Clear route’ are all greyed out. 3. Choose ‘Address’ 2% - You'll see a standard keyboard, sed for entering place names (e.g. towns, streets and favourite locations). Above the keyboard is a small browser window in which your TomTom GO will present locations from its database.

7. The fastest route from your current position

to your destination is then calculated. This should only take a few seconds and its pro- gress is shown on the screen. When done, a summary is shown, on a suitably scaled map. Studying this summary can be useful for you to get a feel for your joumey's scope and to check if the route includes roads that you'd rather avoid (in which case, see ‘Finding altemative routes’, below)

8. Select ‘Done’ and you'll find yourself back at

the main navigation view, but with the route now clearly coloured in for you. Helping with your journey That's the planning all done, so simply buckle your seat belt and drive. As you approach a specific tum in the calculated route, your chosen voice will tell you what to do. For example, “in 100 metres, tum left”, followed by “Tum left”, without you having to take your eyes off the road. As you travel, following the voice instruc- tions, you'll notice that the navigation view is updated constantly, always showing coming roads and junctions and presenting the best route to you. Don't wony if you miss a tum or drive down the wrong road. À new fastest route will be calculated automati- call, based on your new position and direction of travel. Wherever you go, it will always give you instructions that will take you to your chosen destination.

What's on the screen? Much of the information on the main navigation view is configurable (see the ‘Preferences’ chapter for details). If you miss a voice instruction, tap on the tum instruction in the bottom left hand comer to generate a new one. And if you'd like to view the route summary again, tap anywhere in the jour- ney information panel in the bottom right hand comer. Most of the time, the voice and tum instructions are all you need to navigate successfully, which means never having to take your eyes off the road. At complicated junctions, where simple instructions aren't adequate to describe the path to take, the navigation view comes into its own. A quick comparison between the screen and the world in front of you should be all you need. Tip: No instruction is shown or spoken at junctions which require no action. In towns and cities especially, don't be concemed that you are passing side-roads and driving over crossroads without any instruction.

Finding altemative routes Find alternative. Calculate alternative roadblock Recalculate original Avoid part of route Finding alternative routes Perhaps a route has been planned that you're not happy with? Perhaps you have been routed via a busy junction? Perhaps you have spotted roadworks up ahead? Or perhaps you really wanted to go ‘via’ one particular location? In each of these cases, ‘Find alternative. can help you. Again, you'll see it on the main menu, right next to ‘Navigate to. Which ‘Find alternative’ option you go for depends on why you're dissatistied with the first route. Choose ‘Travel via... Lé if you want to make sure the planned route goes past one particular location, perhaps to collect (or drop off) a letter or person. If you spot signs of trouble, choose ‘Avoid roadblock' {3XS . Or if you want to avoid a particular road junction, perhaps because it's a known traffic black spot, choose ‘Avoid part of route’ - Finally, if you want an altemative route because you simply don't like the original, choose ‘Calculate alternative’ Tip: If you want to include more than a single ‘via’ location in your joumey, use the comprehensive ‘linerary planning" feature instead, described in the manual on CD.

Advanced planning Although navigating from your current position is the function that you'll use most often, there may be times when you want to plan ahead. Choosing ‘Advanced planning’ on the main menu lets you look at the besf route and jouney time between any two given locations or get directions that will help someone else get to your current position. Tip: You may need to use De in order to see the “Advanced planning' icon. If you'd like this choice every time you navigate, or if you'd like to change the default setting, see ‘Planning preferences’ in the ‘Change preferences’ menu. Rather than use your GPS position, with ‘Advanced planning’ you choose your departure location using either an address, a Point Of Interest, a favourite location, and so on. You then pick a destination in the same way and finally choose a planning option (fastest, shortest, walking, etc.) Advanced planning Please select a route type Fastest route Shortest route Avoid motorways Walking route Bicycle route Limited speed

Manage POI POI is an abbreviation you'll see à lot, standing for ‘Point Of Interest’. Dozens of categories of POIs are built-in, from airports to petrol stations, from restaurants to theatres. Most importantiy, POIs can be used as destinations, can be shown on the map and can even wam you of their proximity (for example, looking for a car park or petrol station while driving in a strange city). You can choose which Points Of Interest catego- ries you're interested in bv selecting the option ‘Enable/Disable POI ÆÊL , or set up a waming (you can have as many as you like) with the option ‘Warn when near PO/ $£. Hide POI Once you've spent time carefully browsing through the categories in ‘Manage POl and have chosen the ones you need, you can hide all of them from the main navigation view in one stroke with ‘Hide POI and then show your preferred set again with ‘Show POI À . Change Home location You can set or change your ‘Home’ location at any time by using ‘Change home location” . You will then be able to select this quickly later as a departure or destination point.
