Welcome to navigation with TomTom

This Reference Guide explains all you need to know about your new TomTom Rider.

If you want a quick read of the essentials, we recommend that you read the Using your Rider chapter. This covers installation, planning a thrilling ride and all the main features of your device. Get going covers switching on, setting up and charging.

After that, you will probably want to connect to TomTom services and you can read all about that in the Connecting to TomTom services chapter. To help you avoid traffic delays and get to your destination quicker, you can use TomTom services even on the routes you ride every day.

Tip: There are also frequently asked questions (FAQs) at tomtom.com/support. Select your product model from the list or enter a search term.

We hope you enjoy reading about and, most importantly, using your new Rider!

Note: You can use your device on your bike or in your car so the words "ride" and "drive" appear throughout this guide.

Mounting on a motorcycle

1. Attach the RAM™ mount kit to your motorcycle.

1. Fix the holder to the mount and connect the wires to your motorcycle's wiring system.

Important: The red POS (+) contact needs to be connected to the motorcycle's wiring loom at a point between the ignition and the +12V battery supply. The black NEG (-) wire needs to be connected to the motorcycle's wiring loom at a point between the ignition and the -(GND) battery supply. Attach to a 12V point that can be switched off by the ignition such as the light circuit.

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 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 and screws. You may crack parts of the mount kit or damage your handlebars if you overtighten nuts or screws.
  If you are using the U-bolt, don't forget to put the provided rubber caps over the exposed threads.

Important: Damage due to modifications, improper installation, road hazards or accidents, 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 the 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.

1. Place your TomTom Rider in the holder.

1. You can rotate your device by ninety degrees to get your preferred view.

Installing in your car

If your box contains a car mount, use the supplied mount to install your TomTom Rider in your vehicle. Read the instructions about positioning your device before you install your Rider.

If your box contains a car mount, install your Rider by doing the following:

1. Connect the supplied USB cable to the holder.

Note: Use ONLY the USB cable supplied with your Rider. Other USB cables may not work.

1. Connect the USB cable to any of the USB sockets on the USB dual charger and plug this into the power supply on your dashboard.
2. Choose the best smooth location, on your windshield or side window, to mount your TomTom Rider.
3. Make sure that both the suction cup on the mount and your windshield are clean and dry.
4. Press the suction cup of the mount firmly against your windshield.
5. Turn the grip near the base of the mount in a clockwise direction until you feel it lock.
6. Place your Rider in the mount, making sure that it clicks into place.

Tip: With the High-Speed Dual Charger you can charge your TomTom Rider and smartphone at the same time.

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 motorcycle.

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!

To use the anti-theft solution, do the following:

1. Lock the RAM mount to your motorcycle as shown below.

1. Lock your TomTom Rider to prevent removal from the mount. Unscrew the wingnut from the RAM arm and attach the RAM lock.

Connecting a headset

We recommend using a compatible headset with your TomTom Rider to hear spoken instructions 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 by following the user instructions for your headset.
2. From the Main Menu, select Settings.
3. Select Bluetooth Connections.
4. Select Search for Headset and follow the instructions to establish the connection.
5. 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.

Important: When using a headset, the volume control may not be available because your headset doesn't support remote volume control. If this is the case, use the volume control button on the headset itself to change the volume.

Tip: When wearing gloves, select the plus (+) and minus (-) buttons beneath the volume slider to change the volume, instead of trying to move the slider with gloves on.

Recording a track

About routes and tracks

The term "route" includes two types of path from one place to another:

• Routes have a beginning and an end and, optionally, some stops in between. Your device calculates your preferred type of path between all these points, for example, the fastest or most economical. You can edit a route by, for example, adding stops or moving the starting point. Routes can be imported but cannot currently be exported from your device.

• Tracks also have a beginning and an end but no stops. Your device however has a fixed map-dependent path between these points and your device sticks to this fixed path as much as possible. You can only edit tracks using tools such as Tyre Pro or Garmin Basecamp. Tracks can be imported and exported from your device.

Tip: Tracks have a dotted arrow!

Recording a track

You can record a track while riding your bike, with or without a route planned beforehand. After recording, you can then export your track so that you can share it with friends or view it on Tyre Pro.

To record a track, do the following:

1. In the Main Menu, select Start Recording.
   A red dot appears in the lower right-hand corner of the screen and initially flashes three times to show that you are now recording. The dot remains on the screen until you stop recording.
2. To stop recording, select Stop Recording in the Main Menu.
3. Enter a name for your track or you can leave it at the suggested date-time combination.
4. Select Save.
5. Your track is saved in My Routes.

Note: You can export tracks as GPX files and save them on a memory card for sharing with other bikers.

Sharing routes

Installing Tyre Pro

You can use Tyre Pro® to search, create and edit routes on your computer before you upload them to your TomTom Rider.

To get free access to Tyre Pro®, follow the steps below:

1. Go to tomtom.com/getstarted and select your country.
2. Connect your Rider to your computer to link your device to your account and register with us.
3. Within 24 hours you will receive an email with a unique Tyre code and URL. Use this code and URL to activate and download your Tyre Pro® software.

About GPX and ITN files

GPX files (gps exchange format)

GPX files contain a very detailed recording of where you have been on your track, including any off-road locations. GPX files become tracks after import.

Using GPX files

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

Use Tyre Pro to view your track file.
- Export to a memory card and then use your computer to 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 exporting it to a memory card.

Note: Tracks can be imported and exported.

ITN files (TomTom's own Itinerary file format)

An ITN file contains less detail than a GPX file. An ITN file can contain a maximum of 255 locations which is enough to recreate a route accurately. ITN files become routes after import.

Using ITN files

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

• You can import an ITN file onto your TomTom Rider so you can travel that same route again and get navigation instructions.
  Use Tyre Pro to view your route.

Note: Routes can be imported but cannot exported.

Importing routes and tracks

About routes and tracks

The term "route" includes two types of path from one place to another:

• Routes have a beginning and an end and, optionally, some stops in between. Your device calculates your preferred type of path between all these points, for example, the fastest or most economical. You can edit a route by, for example, adding stops or moving the starting point. Routes can be imported but cannot currently be exported from your device.

Roundtrip Ardennen

• Tracks also have a beginning and an end but no stops. Your device however has a fixed map-dependent path between these points and your device sticks to this fixed path as much as possible. You can only edit tracks using tools such as Tyre Pro or Garmin Basecamp. Tracks can be imported and exported from your device.

The glove-friendly keyboard

Switching to the glove-friendly keyboard

The glove-friendly keyboard has large buttons so that you can make selections more easily while wearing motorcycle gloves.

See Entering search terms for instructions on how to select different keyboard layouts.

Using the glove-friendly keyboard

Taking the "pqrs" key as our example, do the following:

1. To select the first letter ("p"), tap the "pqrs" key once.

Tip: To select another letter from the same key, for example, "p" followed by "r", you need to wait for half a second in between selecting letters.

1. To select the second letter, for example "q", tap the "pqrs" key twice in rapid succession.
2. To select the third letter, for example "r", tap the "pqrs" key three times in rapid succession.
3. To select the fourth letter "s", tap the "pqrs" key four times in rapid succession.

If your gloves still make it difficult to select letters, you can do the following:

1. Press and hold the key, for example "def".

After touching the key the first character appears, in this case "d".

1. Wait for the pop-up to appear.
2. Select your chosen desired character from the pop-up, for example "f".
3. Your chosen character "f" replaces the "d" character that first appeared.

Other bug fixes and improvements

Various performance improvements and bug fixes have been implemented.

Positioning the device

Be careful where you install your Rider. The Rider shouldn't block or interfere with any of the following:

• Your view of the road.
  The controls in your vehicle.
• Your rearview mirrors.
  The airbags.

You should be able to reach your Rider easily without leaning or stretching. In a car, you can attach your Rider to the windshield or side window or you can use a Dashboard Mount Disk to attach the mount to your dashboard.

Switching on and off

Switching your device on

Press the On/Off button until your device starts. If the device was off you see the map view. If your device was sleeping you see the last screen you were looking at.

Putting your device to sleep

To put your navigation device to sleep, press the On/Off button and then release it.

You can also press the On/Off button for more than 2 seconds until you see the Sleep and Turn Off buttons. Select Sleep to make the device sleep.

Tip: To send your navigation device to sleep when the USB cable is unplugged or whenever it is removed from the mount, go to Battery settings in the Settings menu.

Switching your device off completely

To turn off your navigation device completely, you can do one of the following:

• Press and hold the On/Off button for more than 2 seconds until you see the Sleep and Turn Off buttons. Select Turn Off to turn off the device. Select the "back" button if you don't want to turn your device off.
• Press and hold the On/Off button for more than 5 seconds until the device switches off.

Setting up

Note: The language you choose will be used for all text on the screen. You can always change the language later in Language and Units in the Settings menu.

When you first switch on your TomTom Rider, you have to answer a few questions to set it up. Answer the questions by touching the screen.

GPS reception

When you first start your TomTom Rider, it may need a few minutes to determine your position. In the future, your position will be found much faster.

To ensure good satellite reception, use your Rider outdoors and keep it upright. Large objects such as tall buildings can sometimes interfere with reception.

Important: QuickGPSFix contains information about satellite positions which helps your Rider find your position faster. QuickGPSFix information is sent to Always Connected devices in real time and to Smartphone Connected devices when connected to TomTom services using your smartphone. You can also update QuickGPSFix using MyDrive.

Sending information to TomTom

When you first start navigating or you have reset your Rider, your Rider asks for permission to collect some information about your use of the navigation device. The information is stored on your Rider until we retrieve it. We use it anonymously to improve our products and services. If you use our services, we will also use your location information to deliver the services to you.

You can change whether you send this information to us at any time by doing the following:

1. In the Main Menu, select the Settings button.
2. Select System.
3. Select Your information.
4. Select the button to turn sending of information on or off.

Note: If you choose not to send location information to us, you will no longer receive our services. This is because services need to send the location of your device to TomTom in order to receive the traffic information related to where you are. The end date of your subscription remains the same, even if you do not send this information to us.

Additional information

If you think that your information is not being used for the purpose for which you have provided it to TomTom, contact us at tomtom.com/support.

You can find current and more detailed information at tomtom.com/privacy.

Memory card slot

Some TomTom navigation devices have a memory card slot that is located on the side or bottom of the device.

Before you use the memory card slot, make sure that you have the latest version of the application installed on your navigation device by connecting to MyDrive using a computer.

When your Rider is up to date, you can use a memory card as extra storage space to add extra maps, tracks or routes to your device. Maps can be purchased from tomtom.com.

Device not starting

In rare cases, your TomTom Rider may not start correctly or may stop responding to your taps.

First, check that the battery is charged. To charge the battery, connect your Rider to the car charger. It can take 3 - 5 hours to fully charge the battery, depending on the type of device.

If this does not solve the problem, you can perform a reset. To do this, press and hold the On/Off button until your Rider begins to restart.

Charging your device

The battery in your TomTom Rider charges when you connect it to the car charger, to your computer or to a USB Home Charger.

You are warned when the battery level is low or critical. You lose your connection to some TomTom services when the battery level is low or critical. When the battery is empty, your Rider goes into sleep mode.

Note: Use ONLY the USB cable supplied with your Rider. Other USB cables may not work.

Note: The best search results are shown on the map. When you zoom in, the lower ranked search results are gradually shown.

About ZIP codes

You can search using a ZIP code to get closer to the area in which you want to find an address or POI.

When you search using a ZIP code, your results include all the streets in a city district, the whole town, or the towns and villages within that ZIP code area.

Note: If you search using a ZIP code you will not get a specific address in your results.

You do not have to use the state or province postal abbreviation or first change the state or province because this is included in the ZIP code.

For example, a search for York in the whole map returns a long list of possible results. Adding a space followed by the ZIP code narrows the results down to the York that you are looking for.

About mapcodes

In countries where roads and houses have no names or addresses, you can use a mapcode instead. A mapcode represents a location.

Every location on Earth, including those in the sea, like islands and oil rigs, can be represented by a mapcode. Mapcodes are short, and easy to recognize, remember and communicate. They are precise to a few meters, which is good enough for every-day use.

Go to mapcode.com for instructions on how to find the mapcode for a location.

Mapcodes are more precise and more flexible than the address on a business card. You can choose a location that you want to associate with your address, for example, the main entrance or the entrance to a parking lot.
