Before you start  
Before you start  
Sw itching on and off  
Install your TomTom XL navigation device in your car following the  
instructions in the installation section at the start of this book.  
To switch on your navigation device, press and hold the On/Off button until  
you see the start-up screen. The first time you switch on your device, it may  
take a short time to start.  
To set up your device you need to answer a few questions by tapping the  
screen.  
Device not starting  
In rare cases, your TomTom XL navigation device may not start correctly or  
may stop responding to your taps.  
First, check that the battery is properly charged. To charge the battery,  
connect your device to the car charger. It can take up to 2 hours to fully charge  
the battery.  
If this does not solve the problem, you can reset the device. To do this, press  
and hold the On/Off button for 15 seconds and release the button when your  
device begins to restart.  
Charging your TomTom XL  
Before you use your XL for the first time, it’s a good idea to charge it fully.  
The battery in your TomTom XL navigation device charges when you connect  
it to the car charger or to your computer.  
There is no charging light on your XL. To check the battery status and see  
when your XL is charging, switch on your device and tap the bottom right-  
hand corner of the screen in the Driving View. The battery status is shown on  
the next page.  
When you connect your device to a computer, you are asked if you want to  
connect to the computer. If you select No and then do not tap the screen  
within three minutes, the device will automatically switch off. This happens so  
that the battery can charge faster.  
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.

Battery notes  
The battery in your TomTom XL navigation device charges when you connect  
it to the car charger or to your computer.  
When you connect your device to a computer, you are asked if you want to  
connect to the computer. If you select No and then do not tap the screen  
within three minutes, the device will automatically switch off. This happens so  
that the battery can charge faster.  
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.  
GPS reception  
When you first start your TomTom XL navigation device, the device may need  
a few minutes to determine your GPS position and show your current position  
on the map. In future, your position will be found much faster, usually within  
a few seconds.  
To ensure reception of a strong GPS signal, you should use your device  
outdoors. Large objects such as tall buildings can sometimes interfere with  
reception.  
Take care of your device  
Never leave your TomTom XL navigation device or accessories on view when  
you leave the car or they may become an easy target for thieves.  
You can set a password for your device which must be entered every time you  
start it.  
It is important to take care of your device.  
• Your device is not designed for use in extreme temperatures and any such  
exposure may cause permanent damage.  
• Do not open the casing of your device under any circumstances. Doing so  
may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.  
• Wipe or dry the screen of your device using a soft cloth. Do not use any  
liquid cleaners.

Safety  
Safety  
Positioning the dock  
Consider carefully where to attach the dock in your car. The dock should not  
block or interfere in any way with the following:  
• Your view of the road  
• Any of the controls in your car  
• Any of your mirrors  
• The airbag  
You should be able to reach your navigation device easily when it is in the  
dock without leaning or stretching. The diagrams show where you can safely  
attach the dock.  
You can attach the dock to the windscreen, side window or use a Dashboard  
Mount Disk to attach the dock to your dashboard. TomTom also offers  
alternative mounting solutions for your TomTom navigation device. For more  
information about Dashboard Mount Disks and alternative mounting  
solutions, go to w w w .tomtom.com/ accessories.  
Installing the dock  
Make sure that both the holder and your window are clean and dry.  
1. Press the suction cup firmly against the window on an area where the glass  
is flat.  
2. Twist the base of the EasyPort holder in a clockwise direction to lock the  
holder in place.  
For detailed instructions, check the installation section at the start of this  
manual.  
Safety preferences  
We recommend using the safety preferences to make your driving as safe as  
possible. The safety preferences include, for example, the following options:  
• Hide most menu options when driving  
Show safety reminders  
• Warn when driving faster than allowed

TomTom Safety Alerts  
The TomTom Safety Alerts service warns you about a variety of locations  
including:  
Safety camera locations.  
• Accident blackspot locations.  
• Mobile safety camera locations.  
• Average speed camera locations.  
• Toll road camera locations.  
• Traffic light camera locations.  
Important: Regularly connect your navigation device to TomTom HOME to  
update the list of locations for all Safety Alerts. If a wireless connection is  
available for your device, mobile safety camera locations can be sent to your  
device using a wireless connection.  
When a safety camera location is shown on the map, a warning sound is  
played to warn you that you are approaching an area where a safety camera  
is located.  
If you discover a location that has a safety camera but you receive no warning,  
you can report the new location to TomTom using your XL.

Making your first journey  
Making your first journey  
Planning a route with your TomTom XL navigation device is easy. To plan a  
route, follow the steps below.  
Important: For safety reasons, you should always plan a route before you  
start your journey.  
1. Tap the screen to bring up the Main Menu.  
Note: The buttons on your navigation device are shown in full colour unless  
a button is currently unavailable. For example, the button named Find  
alternative in the Main Menu is not available until you have planned a route.  
2. Tap Navigate to...  
3. Tap Address.  
When you enter an address, you can choose from the following options:  
City centre - tap this button to set your destination as the centre of a city  
or town.  
Street and house number - tap this button to set an exact address as your  
destination.  
Postcode - tap this button to enter a postcode as your destination.  
Note: You can enter a postcode for any country. In some countries, postcodes  
are detailed enough to identify a house on their own. In other countries you  
can enter a postcode to identify a town or area. You will then have to enter a  
street and house number.

Crossing or intersection - tap this button to set your destination as the  
point where two streets meet.  
In this example, we will enter an exact address.  
4. Tap Street and house number.  
Note: When planning a trip for the first time your navigation device asks you  
to choose a state or country. Your choice is saved and used for all routes you  
plan.  
You can change this setting at any time by tapping the flag.  
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 appears in the list, tap the name of the town  
to set the destination.  
6. Start to type the street name and tap on the street when it appears in the list.  
As with the name of the town, the names of the streets that match what you  
have typed are shown. When your destination appears in the list, tap the  
name of the street to set the destination.  
7. Enter the house number and then tap Done.  
8. Your navigation device asks if you need to arrive at a particular time. For this  
exercise, tap NO.  
The route is calculated by your device using IQ RoutesTM  
.
IQ Routes is used to plan the best possible route taking into account the real  
average speeds measured on the roads.

9. When the route has been calculated, tap Done.  
Your TomTom XL navigation device will warn you about any traffic delays and  
immediately begin to guide you to your destination, using both spoken  
instructions and on-screen directions.  
Arrival times  
When you plan a route, your TomTom XL asks you if you need to arrive at a  
particular time.  
Tap YES to enter a preferred arrival time.  
Your 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  
XL shows 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 journey. The status bar  
shows whether you will arrive on time or if you are going to be 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.  
Tap Status bar preferences in the Preferences menu, to enable or disable  
arrival time notifications.

Planning a route in advance  
You can use your XL to plan a route in advance, selecting your starting point  
and your destination.  
Here are some more reasons to plan a route in advance:  
• Find out how long a journey is going to take before you start.  
You can also compare journey times for the same route at different times of  
the day or on different days of the week. Your TomTom XL uses IQ Routes  
when planning a route. IQ Routes calculates routes based on the real  
average speeds measured on roads.  
Study the route of a journey you are planning.  
• Check a route for someone who is coming to visit you and then explain the  
route to them in detail.  
To plan a route in advance, follow these steps:  
1. Tap the screen to bring up the main menu.  
2. Tap the arrow button to move to the next menu screen and tap Prepare  
route.  
Prepare route  
3. Select the starting point for your journey in the same way that you would  
select your destination.  
4. Set the destination for your journey.  
5. Choose the type of route that should be planned.  
Fastest route - the route which takes the least time.  
Shortest route - the shortest distance between the locations you set. This  
may not be the quickest route, especially if the shortest route is through  
a town or city.  
Avoid motorw ays - a route which avoids motorways.  
Walking route - a route designed for making the journey on foot.  
Bicycle route - a route designed for making the journey on a bicycle.  
Limited speed - a route for a vehicle which can only be driven at a limited  
speed. You have to specify the maximum speed.  
6. Choose when you will make the journey you are planning. There are three  
options:  
Now  
Specific date and time - you will be asked to enter the date and time.  
No specific date and time  
If you select either Now or Specific date and time, your XL uses IQ Routes  
to work out the best possible route at that time, using the real average  
speeds measured on roads. In this way you can compare how long a  
journey takes at different times of day, or on different days of the week.  
7. Your TomTom XL plans the route between the two locations you selected.  
More information about a route  
You can access these options for the route you last planned by tapping the

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 petrol.  
• You want to avoid a difficult junction or a road you dont like.  
Tap Find alternative... in the Main Menu to change the route that is  
currently planned.  
The Find alternative... button is also shown in the route summary screen  
after you plan a route.  
Find alterna-  
tive...  
Tap this button to calculate an alternative to the route already planned.  
Your XL will look for another route from your current location to your  
destination.  
Calculate  
alternative  
If you decide you would prefer to use the original route after all, tap  
Recalculate original.  
Why w ould 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 XL  
will recalculate your route avoiding the section of the route for the distance  
you selected.  
Avoid  
roadblock  
Dont 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. When you do this, a marker is  
shown on the map for the location you choose the travel via.  
Travel via...  
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, Favourite, Point of Interest and Point on map.  
Your XL will calculate a new route to your destination that passes the  
location you chose. Unlike your final destination, your XL does not inform  
you when you pass by this location.  
Using this button, you can only travel via one location. If you want to pass  
more than one, use an Itinerary.  
Tap this button to return to the original route without deviations to avoid  
roadblocks or travelling via particular locations.  
Recalculate  
original  
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 dont like, or which is well-  
known for traffic problems.  
Avoid part of  
route  
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 XL will check if there are any traffic problems on  
your route and work out the best route to avoid the problems.

TomTom Map Share  
With TomTom Map Share, you can correct errors on your map and share  
those corrections with other people in the TomTom Map Share community,  
as well as receiving corrections made by others.  
If you find a street that has recently been blocked to traffic which was open  
before, you can use Map Share to correct your map and then share the  
correction with other Map Share members.  
You can use Map Share to send and receive map corrections during the first  
year after the maps release date. This means that one year after the release  
date, you will no longer be able to send or receive map corrections for that  
version of the map - You will still be able to make corrections to your own map  
for use on your own device.  
You choose the type of corrections you want and each time you connect your  
TomTom XL to TomTom HOME, the map is automatically updated.  
Note: TomTom Map Share is not available in all regions. For more  
information, go to tomtom.com/ mapshare  
Map corrections  
There are two types of map correction:  
• Corrections that are immediately shown on the map. These include,  
changing the traffic flow of a street, blocking or renaming a street and  
adding or editing POIs.  
This type of change is immediately shown on your own map. You can hide  
these corrections at any time in the Map Share preferences menu.  
• Corrections that are reported to TomTom but not shown immediately on  
your map. These include, missing streets, errors in motorway entrances  
and exits and missing roundabouts.  
This type of correction is investigated by TomTom and once verified, is  
included in the next map release. These corrections are therefore not shared  
with the Map Share community.

Note: The Manage POIs button is only available when all menu buttons are  
shown. To show all menu buttons, tap Show ALL menu options in the  
Preferences menu.  
You can, for example, do the following:  
• Create your own POI categories and add POIs to them.  
Set warnings when you get close to POIs.  
Why w ould I w ant to create my ow n POIs?  
A POI acts like a shortcut - once you have saved a location as a POI you never  
have to type the address of that POI again. But when you create a POI you can  
save more than just the location.  
• Phone number - when you create a POI, you can save a phone number with  
it.  
• Categories - when you create a POI you have to put it in a category.  
For example, you could create a category of POIs called Favourite  
restaurants. With each POI, save their phone number so that you can call  
them to reserve a table.  
Note: You can report missing POIs or edit existing POIs using Map Share and  
share your corrections with the Map Share community.

Important Safety Notices and Warnings  
Global Positioning System  
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite-based system that provides  
location and timing information around the globe. GPS is operated and  
controlled under the sole responsibility of the Government of the United  
States of America which is responsible for its availability and accuracy. Any  
changes in GPS availability and accuracy, or in environmental conditions, may  
impact the operation of your TomTom device. TomTom does not accept any  
liability for the availability and accuracy of GPS.  
Use w ith Care  
Use of a TomTom device for navigation still means that you need to drive with  
due care and attention.  
Aircraft and Hospitals  
Use of devices with an antenna is prohibited on most aircraft, in many  
hospitals and in many other locations. A TomTom device must not be used in  
these environments.  
Taking care of your TomTom device  
Do not leave your TomTom device or TomTom accessories on view when you  
leave your car. They may become an easy target for thieves.  
You can set a password for your device which must be entered every time you  
start your device.  
We recommend that you use the safety preferences on your TomTom device,  
where available. The safety preferences are available in the Preferences menu.  
Take care of your TomTom device and clean it correctly.  
• Use a soft cloth to wipe the screen of your device; do not use any liquid  
cleaners.  
• If your device gets wet, dry it with a soft cloth.  
• Do not open the casing of your device under any circumstances. Doing so  
may be dangerous and will invalidate your warranty.  
• If your device includes a memory card, do not use the memory card with  
any device other than a TomTom device. Other devices may damage the  
memory card.  
• Do not expose your device to high or low temperatures, which can cause  
permanent damage. For example, dont leave it in the car on hot summer  
days or during cold winter nights.
