Mounting your navigation device

Attach the RAM™ mount kit to your motorcycle as shown on the Installation Poster, then place your TomTom Rider in the holder. When you are attaching the mount kit to your motorcycle, follow these guidelines:

If you are unsure about attaching the mount kit yourself, ask a professional to fit it for you.
- If you choose to attach the mount kit yourself, note that the Active Dock has a built-in fuse. This means that you don't need to add a fuse yourself while performing the connection between the device and the motorcycle battery.
- Make sure that the mount kit does not interfere with any of the controls on the motorcycle.
Always use the correct tools. If you use unsuitable tools, you may damage or break the mount kit.
- Do not overtighten nuts. You may crack parts of the mount kit or damage your handlebars if you overtighten the nuts.
- If you are using the u-bolt, don't forget to put the rubber caps provided over the exposed threads.
- Damage due to modifications, improper installation, road hazards or accident, are not covered. Neither RAM nor TomTom shall be liable for any injury, loss, or damage, direct or consequential, arising out of improper installation, or inability to use product. Before use, the user shall determine the suitability of the product for its intended use. The user assumes all risk and liability, whatsoever, in connection with the mount.

Connecting the dock cable

TOMTOM RIDER EUROPE 45 M - Connecting the dock cable - 1

  1. The red POS (+) contact needs to be connected to the motorcycle's +12V battery supply.

  2. The black NEG(-) wire needs to be connected to the motorcycle's -(GND) battery supply.

  3. The dock connector needs to be plugged into the TomTom Rider dock.

Using a headset

We recommend using a compatible headset with your TomTom Rider to hear spoken instructions, make and receive hands-free phonecalls and hear warning sounds on your TomTom Rider. This makes riding with your TomTom Rider as safe as possible. For more information and a full list of compatible headsets, go to tomtom.com/riderheadsets.

The instructions below describe how to set up a Bluetooth® headset. If you did not establish a Bluetooth connection between your Bluetooth headset and your TomTom Rider when you first turned your TomTom Rider on, you can establish the connection at any time by doing the following:

  1. Turn the headset on or off by following the instructions for your particular brand of headset.
  2. From the Main Menu, tap options.
  3. Tap Connect to headset and follow the instructions to establish the connection.
  4. Attach your headset to your helmet.

Make sure you position the microphone correctly. For best results, don't position the microphone directly in front of your mouth, position it just to the side of your mouth.

An image of the parts of a typical headset is shown below:

  1. Microphone
  2. On/off button
  3. Speakers
  4. LED
  5. Volume down
  6. Volume up
  7. Charging connector

Before you can use your Bluetooth headset, fully charge the headset using the charger supplied with the headset.

Switching on

Your TomTom Rider switches on when you switch your motorcycle ignition on. Your TomTom Rider switches off when you switch your ignition off.

The first time you switch on your TomTom Rider, it may take up to 20 seconds to start.

Before you use your TomTom Rider for the first time, it's a good idea to charge it fully.

The battery in your TomTom Rider navigation device charges when you connect it to the home charger or to your computer.

Note: You should plug the USB connector directly into a USB port on your computer and not into a USB hub or USB port on a keyboard or monitor.

Tip: To switch your TomTom Rider on when your motorcycle engine is not running, press and hold the On/Off button for 2 seconds, or until your TomTom Rider starts. To switch off your TomTom Rider, press and hold the On/Off button for 2 seconds.

Setting up

Important: Take care to select the correct language as the language you choose will be used for all text on the screen.

When you first switch on your device, you have to answer a few questions to set up the device. Answer the questions by tapping the screen.

GPS reception

Your TomTom Rider must be outside to be able to locate your current position. Make sure that you are in an open place without tall buildings or trees around you.

The first time you start your TomTom Rider, it can take a few minutes for the device to find your current position. In the future, your position will be found much faster, normally within a few seconds.

Your TomTom Rider does not transmit your location, so others cannot use it to track you while you are driving.

TomTom Rider uses a GPS receiver to locate your current position.

Using the anti-theft solution

If your box includes an anti-theft solution, it is supplied in two parts:

  • A RAM lock for the mount.

This lock prevents the unscrewing of the RAM arm from the bike.

A lock for the TomTom Rider itself.

This lock prevents the disconnection of the TomTom Rider from the dock.

Important: Both locks have keys so you need to make sure that you keep these two extra keys with you at all times!

About the Quick Menu

The Quick Menu offers a fast and safe way to use your TomTom Rider.

When you use the Quick Menu, the number of taps you need to make is reduced and this makes the device easier to use with gloves.

There are several Quick Menu items to choose from. You can choose just one or several depending on the features you use the most.

Using the Quick Menu

Here are some examples of how you can use the Quick Menu:

  • Changing a route to include a petrol station normally requires 5-6 taps but when you use the Quick menu, you only need to tap twice.
  • When you use the Call button in the Mobile phone menu, you can call any phone number, but it requires several taps. The Call button in the Quick Menu, however, is like a speed-dial button and allows you to call a pre-set number with very few taps.
  • If you want to skip a waypoint on your scenic route, you can do with this with two taps in the Quick Menu by using Go to previous waypoint or Go to next waypoint. It takes at least six taps using the Main Menu.

About winding routes

The winding routes feature is for planning a route that avoids unnecessary motorways and includes winding roads, with the aim of making the route a fun and entertaining ride. When planning the route, your TomTom Rider tries to guide you out of the city as quickly as possible.

Switching on winding routes

  1. Tap the screen to bring up the Main Menu.
  2. Tap options.
  3. Tap Winding routes preferences.

Some locations in the world have a lot of winding roads, others have very few due to larger populations or lots of cities. If you think that the winding roads suggested in your area are too winding or not winding enough, you can change the relative amounts of different types of roads in your route.

TOMTOM RIDER EUROPE 45 M - Switching on winding routes - 1

  1. Tap Done.

Your navigation device is ready to guide you to your destination.

Tip: If you are not happy with the selected route, tap Change route in the Route Summary screen to quickly see an alternative route.

Winding roads and itineraries

You can also use the winding routes feature in combination with the itinerary planner.

Tip: The range of winding routes offered to you depends on the availability of alternative streets and on the distance between the waypoints. Waypoints force your route along a specific road. The number of alternative winding routes is reduced if you choose a lot of waypoints or if waypoints are a short distance from each other. As a result, we recommend using the minimum number of waypoints in an itinerary if you want to use the winding route option.

There are two methods for using winding routes with itineraries. The first is to select just city centres and a route is planned bypassing those cities but using them as a guide. For example:

  1. City centre 1
  2. City centre 2
  3. City centre 3
  4. Home location

This method, as shown in the example above, calculates a route from your current position using the three city centres as a guide and finishes at your Home location.

The second method uses actual locations that you know you want to visit.

For more information, see Creating an itinerary with a winding route.

About lane guidance

Note: Lane guidance is not available for all junctions or in all countries.

Your TomTom Rider navigation device helps you prepare for motorway exits and junctions by showing the correct driving lane for your planned route.

As you approach an exit or junction, the lane you need is shown on the screen.

Using lane guidance

There are two types of lane guidance:

To switch off lane guidance in the status bar, tap options in the Main Menu, then tap Status bar settings. Clear the checkbox for Show lane guidance.

Tip: If no lane guidance is shown in the status bar and all lanes are highlighted, you can use any lane.

About Itineraries

An Itinerary is a plan for a journey including more locations than your final destination.

You could use an Itinerary for trips such as:

  • A riding holiday through a country with lots of stops.
    A two day bike ride with an overnight stop.
    A short ride which passes by Points of Interest.
  • A scenic route from a friend that you downloaded using HOME or the internet.

In all these examples you could tap Navigate to... for each place. However, if you use an ltinerary, you can save time by planning everything in advance.

An Itinerary can include the following items:

  • Destination - a location on your journey where you want to stop.
  • Waypoint - a location on your journey where you want to travel through without stopping.

Creating an itinerary with a winding route

You can use the winding route feature in combination with the Itinerary planner.

Tip: The range of winding routes offered to you depends on the availability of alternative streets and on the distance between the waypoints. Waypoints force your route along a specific road. The number of alternative winding routes is reduced if you choose a lot of waypoints or if waypoints are a short distance from each other. As a result, we recommend using the minimum number of waypoints in an itinerary if you want to use the winding route option.

Note: Ensure that winding routes are switched on before you create your itinerary.

  1. Tap the screen to bring up the Main Menu.
  2. Tap options.
  3. Tap Itinerary planning.
  4. Tap Add and select a location.

  5. If you choose city centres, your itinerary looks like this:

TOMTOM RIDER EUROPE 45 M - Creating an itinerary with a winding route - 1

A route is planned using the city centres as a guide for planning the winding road. You are not directed into the city centres as a part of your route.

Note: To plan a circular route using city centres, the city centres should be at least 30km apart.

  1. If you choose specific locations in your itinerary, your route takes you to your waypoints and destination using winding roads.
  2. Tap Done. When asked if you wish to navigate to the first destination now, select Winding routes as your route type.

Recording your route

About recording your route

There are several reasons why you may want to record a route. You may be on the riding holiday of a lifetime and want to share the route with fellow bikers or you may simply wish to build a collection of your favourite routes.

When the recording of a route stops, two files are created. The first file is a GPX file that holds very detailed information and can be viewed with software such as Google Earth.

The second file is an ITN file that can be shared with other TomTom users and can be used to drive the route again using the Itinerary feature.

You can also download GPX files from the internet and convert them to ITN files for sharing and riding using the Itinerary feature.

Tip: You can also use Tyre to create, find and share routes. With one mouse click you can copy the routes that you make with Tyre to your TomTom Rider. See Installing Tyre.

Starting route recording

Important: You need at least 5Mb of free space on your TomTom Rider before starting to record a route.

TOMTOM RIDER EUROPE 45 M - Starting route recording - 1

Quick Menu option!

To start recording your route, do the following:

  1. Tap the screen to bring up the Main Menu.
  2. Tap options.
  3. Tap Start recording.

Tip: You can also select Record my GPS location in Quick menu preferences. You can then tap Start recording in the Quick Menu in the Driving View.

As you ride, your TomTom Rider records your position every few seconds. During recording, you can continue to use your TomTom Rider as normal. You can safely turn your device off and on during recording.

Uploading and sharing routes

Installing Tyre

Tyre, a tool for managing routes, has been included with your TomTom Rider. Tyre enables you to search, design and edit routes, send them to your device and share them with other riders.

To install Tyre, do the following:

  1. Connect your TomTom Rider to your PC using the supplied USB cable. A drive called "RIDER" appears in Windows Explorer.
  2. In Windows Explorer, double click on the RIDER drive to open it. Look for a file called "TyreSetup".
  3. Double click on the file "TyreSetup" to start the Tyre installer. Follow the instructions to install Tyre on your PC.
  4. Once installed, use Tyre to import, create or edit routes. Use the menu to send the route to your TomTom Rider or share it with other riders.

Tyre FAQs

I want to install Tyre using TomTom HOME, but I don't know how to do that.

See Installing Tyre.

After starting up Tyre, I don't see a map. What can I do?

Most likely your computer is infected with malware, that is prohibiting the map to be displayed.

Use the malware scanner from Malwarebytes to clean your computer:

www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes free

For your information: some people who were thinking that their computers were free from malware, because they were using a malware scanner themselves already, discovered that the scanner from Malwarebytes detected some other malware, and that removing that malware solved their problem!

Tyre is very slow or seems to freeze. What is going on?

This behaviour occurs when MS Internet Explorer is not installed on your system or when it is not up-to-date. Furthermore it may occur when your file contains a lot of waypoints or POIs. It is just Windows slowing down as memory fills up.

Depending on the number of waypoints or POIs and the speed of your computer, Tyre may seem to hang. It is not really hanging, but it might take a lot of time for the activity to complete.

We recommend to use a maximum of 100 waypoints or POIs for one file. If there are more, split the file, using 'Split' or 'Reduce' from the 'File' menu.

Is there a Tyre version for Mac computers?

We have lots of plans to port Tyre to other platforms. But since we are just a small company, it will take some time to realise them.

For the time being, you might consider installing a Windows emulator (like WINE, a piece of free software) on your Mac. It will create a Windows environment on your computer. You can use that environment to run Tyre.

On opening the map, I get an error message.

There might be an error in the settings of your Internet Explorer. Follow these steps:

  • Open your Internet Explorer.
  • Select Tools > Internet Options > Advanced tab > Restore Advanced Settings.
  • Restart Tyre and your Internet Explorer.

About GPX files

Contents

A very detailed recording of where you have been on your route, including any off-road locations.

Location

GPX folder on your TomTom Rider.

Using the file

There are several things you can do with your GPX file:

Use Tyre to view your route file.
- Connect your TomTom Rider to your computer and view the file using software such as Google Earth.

Note: While viewing your recording, you may notice that the recorded GPS locations do not always correspond with the roads. This can happen for several reasons. Firstly, your device tries to keep the files small and this can cause a slight loss of data precision. Secondly, your device records the actual data from the GPS chip for an accurate representation of where you've been, rather than what you see on your screen. Thirdly, the software with which you view the recording may have the maps misaligned.

  • Share the file with friends by sending it using email or the internet on your computer.

Receiving a GPX file

If you receive a GPX file from a friend or download one from the internet, your TomTom Rider can convert it into an Itinerary. You can then use the Itinerary to follow the route with navigational instructions.

Converting a GPX file into an itinerary

To convert a GPX file into an Itinerary, you can use one of the following two methods:

Using Tyre

  1. Open the GPX file in Tyre.
  2. Click the button to copy the route to your TomTom Rider.

Tyre converts the file to an Itinerary automatically.

Using manual conversion

  1. Connect your TomTom Rider to your computer.
  2. Place your GPX files in the GPX2ITN folder on your device.
  3. Disconnect your device from the computer.
  4. Turn your device on.

Each file is then converted into an ITN file. You can convert up to 50 files in one batch.

  1. When the conversion has finished you can load your Itinerary. In the Main menu, tap Manage itineraries, then Open.

About ITN files

Contents

This file contains less detail than the GPX file but it allows you to retrace your route using the Itinerary feature of your device. The ITN file can contain a maximum of 100 locations but that is enough to recreate a route accurately.

Location

ITN folder on your TomTom Rider.

Using the file

There are several things you can do with an ITN file:

  • You can load a recorded route onto your TomTom Rider so you can travel that same route again and get navigation instructions.
  • Share the file with other TomTom users by sending it using a Bluetooth connection. To do this, tap Manage itineraries in the Main Menu, followed by Share.

Receiving an ITN file

If you receive an ITN file, you can load it using your TomTom Rider.

You can receive an ITN file in the following ways:

From a friend using Bluetooth.
Download one from the internet.
- Copy one using Tyre.
Receive one using HOME.

Loading an ITN file

To load an ITN file, do the following:

  1. Tap the screen to bring up the Main Menu.
  2. Tap Manage itineraries.
  3. Tap Open.

Tip: After loading a scenic route, if you are asked for a route type, select Shortest route to give you the closest representation of the original route.

Note: If you load an Itinerary that uses a map that is not on your device, the waypoints on the missing map appear crossed out and in orange.

About viewing the map

You can view the map in the same way as you might look at a traditional paper map. The map shows your current location and many other locations such as Favourites and POIs.

To view the map in this way, tap view map in the Main menu.

You view different locations on the map by moving the map across the screen. To move the map, touch the screen and drag your finger across the screen.

Many of the POIs on your TomTom Rider device include phone numbers. This means that you can use your device to call the POI and plan a route to the location of the POI.

Important: You should only call a POI when you are parked.

For example, you can search for a cinema, call to book a ticket and plan a route to the cinema, and all using your TomTom Rider device.

  1. Tap options.
  2. Tap Mobile phone.
  3. Tap Call...
  4. Tap Point of Interest.
  5. Select how you want to search for the POI.

For example, if you want to search for a POI on your route, tap POI along route.

  1. Tap the type of POI you want to call.

For example, if you want to call a cinema to reserve a ticket, tap Cinema and then select the name of the cinema you want to call. Then tap Call to make the phonecall.

Your TomTom Rider uses your mobile phone to call the POI.

Setting warnings for POIs

You can set a warning sound to be played when you approach a selected type of POI, such as a petrol station.

The following example will show how to set a warning sound to be played when you are 250 metres from a petrol station.

  1. In the Options menu, tap Manage POIs and then tap Warn when near POI.
  2. Scroll down the list and tap Petrol station.

Tip: To remove a warning, tap on the category name and then tap Yes. POI categories which have been set with a warning have a sound symbol next to the category name.

  1. Set the distance as 250 metres and tap OK.
  2. Select Sound effect and then tap Next.
  3. Select the warning sound for the POI and then tap Next.
  4. If you only want to hear the warning when the POI is directly on a planned route, select Warn only if POI is on route. Then tap Done.

The warning is set for the selected POI category. You will hear a warning sound when you are 250 metres from a petrol station on your route.

Manage POIs

Tap Manage POIs to manage your POI categories and locations.

TOMTOM RIDER EUROPE 45 M - Manage POIs - 1

You can set your TomTom Rider device to let you know when you are near to selected POI locations. In this way you could, for example, set the device to let you know you when you are approaching a petrol station.

You can create your own POI categories and add your own POI locations to these categories.

This means you can, for example, create a new POI category called Friends. You could then add all your friends' addresses as POIs in this new category.

Tap the following buttons to create and maintain your own POIs:

Using a headset

We recommend using a compatible headset with your TomTom Rider to hear spoken instructions, make and receive hands-free phonecalls and hear warning sounds on your TomTom Rider. This makes riding with your TomTom Rider as safe as possible. For more information and a full list of compatible headsets, go to tomtom.com/riderheadsets.

The instructions below describe how to set up a Bluetooth® headset. If you did not establish a Bluetooth connection between your Bluetooth headset and your TomTom Rider when you first turned your TomTom Rider on, you can establish the connection at any time by doing the following:

  • Accident blackspot locations.
  • Mobile speed camera locations.
    Average speed check camera locations.
    Traffic light camera locations.

Updating locations for alerts

The locations of speed cameras can change frequently. New cameras can also appear without warning and the locations for other alerts, such as accident blackspots, may also change position.

As a result, you may want to have the latest list of camera and alert locations on your device before you start a journey.

To ensure that you have the latest list, connect your TomTom Rider to your computer shortly before you begin each journey. Start TomTom HOME to update and your device is then updated with all the latest fixed alert locations.

Speed camera warnings

By default, warnings are given 15 seconds before you reach a speed camera location. To change the number of seconds or warning sound, tap Change warning preferences in the Speed Cameras menu.

You are warned in three ways:

  • Your device plays a warning sound.
  • The type of speed camera and your distance from the camera location is shown in the Driving View. If a speed restriction has been reported for the camera, the speed is also shown in the Driving View.
    The location of the speed camera is shown on the map.

Note: For average speed cameras, you are warned by a combination of icons and sounds at the start, middle and end of the average speed check zone.

Danger zones in France

Since 3rd January 2012, it has been illegal to receive warnings about the position of fixed or mobile speed cameras when you are driving in France. To be compliant with this change in French law, all types of speed camera locations are no longer reported but instead, areas of danger are indicated as zones.

In France, TomTom terminated the Speed Cameras service and introduced a new service called TomTom Danger Zones.

Danger zones may or may not contain one or more speed cameras or a range of other driving hazards:

  • Specific locations are not available and a danger zone icon is shown instead as you approach the zone.
  • The minimum length of the zone depends on the road type and is 300m for roads in built-up areas, 2000m (2km) for secondary roads or 4000m (4km) for motorways.
  • The location of one or more speed cameras, if any, can be at any point within the zone.
    If two danger zones are close to each other, the warnings can be merged into a single longer zone.

Important: Outside France, you receive warnings about speed cameras. Inside France, you receive warnings about danger zones. When you cross the border, the type of warning you receive changes.

Danger zone warnings

Warnings are given 10 seconds before you reach a danger zone. You are warned in three ways:

  • Your device plays a warning sound.
  • Your distance from the danger zone is shown in the Driving View. If a speed restriction is known for the zone, the speed is also shown in the Driving View. While you are driving in a danger zone, the warning remains in the Driving View.
  • Danger zones have minimum lengths: Highways 4km, Secondary roads 2km and built-up areas 300m.
    The location of the danger zone is shown on the map.

Changing the way you are warned

To change the way your TomTom Rider warns you about danger zones, tap Alert settings.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING DRIVING IN CALIFORNIA AND MINNESOTA

California Vehicle Code Section 26708 "Material Obstructing or Reducing Driver's View" permits mounting of a navigation device on the windshield as follows: "A portable Global Positioning System (GPS), which may be mounted in a seven-inch square in the lower corner of the windshield farthest removed from the driver or in a five-inch square in the lower corner of the windshield nearest to the driver and outside of an airbag deployment zone, if the system is used only for door-to-door navigation while the motor vehicle is being operated." Drivers in California should not use a suction mount on their side or rear windows.

Note: This section of the California Vehicle Code applies to anyone driving in California, not just California residents.

Minnesota State Legislature Statutes Section 169.71, subdivision 1, section 2 provides that "A person shall not drive or operate with any objects suspended between the driver and the windshield other than sun visors and rearview mirrors and electronic toll collection devices."

Note: this Minnesota Stature applies to anyone driving in Minnesota, not just Minnesota residents.

TomTom Inc. bears no responsibility for any fines, penalties or damage that may be incurred by disregarding this notice. While driving in any state with windshield mounting restrictions, TomTom recommends the use of the supplied Adhesive Mounting Disk or its Alternative Mounting Kit, which includes multiple options for mounting TomTom devices on the dashboard and the air vents. See tomtom.com for more information about these mounting options.

Pacemakers

Please consult your physician or the manufacturer of the medical device, to determine if the operation of your wireless product may interfere with the medical device.

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) compliance

THIS WIRELESS DEVICE MODEL MEETS GOVERNMENT REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES WHEN USED AS DIRECTED IN THIS SECTION

This GPS Navigation System is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Council of the European Union.

The SAR limit recommended by The Council of the European Union is 2.0W / kg averaged over 10 grams of tissue for the body (4.0 W/kg averaged over 10 grams of tissue for the extremities - hands, wrists, ankles and feet). Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions specified by the EU council with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands.

Exposure limits

This device complies with radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. In order to avoid the possibility of exceeding the radio frequency exposure limits, human proximity to the antenna shall not be less than 20cm (8 inches) during normal operation.
