2. Before you start  
Before you start  
Sw itching on and off  
Install your TomTom GO 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 GO 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 fifteen seconds and release the button when  
your device begins to restart.  
Battery notes  
The battery in your TomTom GO navigation device charges when you connect  
it to the car charger or to your computer.  
The light next to the On/Off button is orange while the battery is charging and  
is green when the battery is fully charged.  
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.  
Windshield Mount  
Use the Windshield Mount to install your TomTom GO inside your car.  
Make sure that both the Windshield Mount and your windshield are clean and  
dry before you attach the mount. Place the Windshield Mount so that it does  
not interfere with your view of the road or of any of the controls in your car.

To attach the Windshield Mount, press the suction cup firmly against the  
windshield on an area where the glass is flat. Then twist the rubber grip near  
the base of the Windshield Mount in a clockwise direction until you hear a  
click.  
Home Dock  
The home dock is used for charging your TomTom GO when it is not in the car  
and for connecting your GO to your computer.  
When connected to your computer, you can use TomTom HOME to manage  
your GO.  
GPS reception  
When you first start your TomTom GO 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.  
Important: Some vehicles have heat reflective shielding in the windshield  
which may prevent your navigation device from locating your position.  
The TomTom External Antenna Kit (available for purchase as an accessory)  
can help to improve reception.  
Safety Notice  
Your TomTom GO contains a GSM/GPRS module which can interfere with  
electrical devices such as cardiac pacemakers, hearing aids and aviation  
equipment.  
Interference with these devices may endanger the health or life of others.  
Do not use near unprotected electrical units nor in areas where the use of  
mobile telephones is prohibited, such as hospitals and airplanes.  
Take care of your device  
Never leave your TomTom GO navigation device or accessories on view when  
you leave the car or they may become an easy target for thieves.  
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.

Arrival times  
When you plan a route, your TomTom GO asks you if you need to arrive at a  
particular time.  
Tap YES to enter a preferred arrival time.  
Your GO 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  
GO 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 trip. 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.

Planning a route in advance  
You can use your GO 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 trip is going to take before you start.  
You can also compare trip times for the same route at different times of the  
day or on different days of the week. Your TomTom GO 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 trip 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 trip in the same way that you would select  
your destination.  
4. Set the destination for your trip.  
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 freeways - a route which avoids freeways.  
Walking route - a route designed for making the trip on foot.  
Bicycle route - a route designed for making the trip 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 trip 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 GO 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 trip  
takes at different times of day, or on different days of the week.

5. Voice recognition  
Voice recognition  
Instead of tapping the screen to control your TomTom GO, you can now give  
instructions to your GO using your voice.  
For example, to increase the volume on your GO, you can say, "Increase  
volume."  
Important: To use voice recognition, you must have a computer voice  
installed on your TomTom GO. If you dont have a computer voice installed,  
use TomTom HOME to install one.  
To view the list of available commands, tap Voice Control preferences in the  
Preferences menu and then tap What can I say?  
You can also look at the voice recognition reference card in your box.  
Using voice recognition  
Note: You must select a computer voice in order to use voice recognition. To  
select a computer voice, tap Change preferences in the Main menu. Then tap  
Voice preferences and Change voice. Select a computer voice.  
In this example, you will use voice recognition to plan a journey to your Home  
address.

busy with another task.  
2. When you hear a beep, say, "Navigate to Home."  
When you speak, the voice recognition monitor shows if you are talking too  
loudly or quietly:  
A green bar means your voice is at the right level for your GO  
to hear your commands.  
13  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
A red bar means your voice is too loud.  
A grey bar means your voice is too quiet.  
For some phrases, your GO will always repeat the command and then ask  
you if the command has been correctly recognized.  
3. If the command is correct, say, "Yes."  
If the command is incorrect, say, "No" and when prompted, say the  
command again after the beep .  
Your GO plans a route from your current position to your Home address.  
Tips  
• Voice recognition switches off after a few seconds if you dont say anything.  
For example, if your GO asks you to confirm the last command you gave  
and you dont say anything, voice recognition switches off after a few  
seconds.  
• You can stop your GO from listening for commands either by tapping the  
screen or by saying any of the following commands: Back, Cancel, Quit.  
• To select an item from a list, tap the screen to select the item. Voice  
recognition cannot be used to select items from a list.  
Planning a trip using your voice  
Important: You should always plan your journey before you start driving. It is  
dangerous to plan a route while driving.  
To plan a route to an address using speech, do the following:  
1. Tap the voice recognition button in the Driving View.  
2. When you hear a beep, say, "Navigate to address."

3. Say the city name.  
When you say the city name, you are then shown a list of six names that  
match what you said.  
Your GO tells you the name at the top of the list. If the name you hear is  
correct, then say, "Done" or "OK" or "Yes" or "One" or tap on the name.  
If the city name you hear is not correct, but the name appears in the list, then  
say the number next to the correct name or tap on the correct name.  
For example, if the correct name is Rotterdam and this name is number two  
in the list, you could say, "Two" or tap on the name, Rotterdam.  
If the city name is not shown in the list, then say "Back" or "No" or tap the  
Back button to return to the previous screen. Then say the city name again.  
Note: You need to say numbers in the same language that is used for menu  
buttons.  
4. Say the street name.  
Your GO states the name shown at the top of the list. If the name you hear  
is correct, then say, "Done" or "OK" or "Yes" or "One" or tap on the name.  
Note: Different locations may have similar names, such as a road that has  
multiple zip code locations. In such cases, all of these locations are shown in  
the list and you need to look at the screen and select the correct location.  
If the name you hear is incorrect but the correct name is shown in the list,  
then say the number next to the correct name or tap on the street name.  
If the street name is not shown in the list, say "Back" or "No" or tap the Back  
button to return to the previous screen. Then say the street name again.  
5. Say the house number.  
15  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

number 357 as one continuous sentence, "Three hundred and fifty seven."  
If the number is shown incorrectly, say, "Back" or "No" or tap the Backspace  
key. Then say the number again.  
Tip: If you say, "Back" when there are no numbers shown on the screen, then  
your GO will return you to the previous screen.  
When the number is shown correctly say, "Done" or "OK." Alternatively,  
enter the number by tapping the screen.  
To select a crossroads as the location, say "Crossing".  
Note: You need to say numbers in the same language that is used for menu  
buttons.

8. 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 gas.  
• You want to avoid a difficult intersection 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 GO 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 GO  
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.

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 GO to TomTom HOME, the map will be updated automatically.  
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 corrections:  
• 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 freeway entrances and  
exits and missing rotaries.  
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.

Selecting a voice  
To change the voice being used by your TomTom GO, tap Voice  
preferences in the Preferences menu, then tap Change voice. Select a voice  
from the list.  
Voice  
preferences  
Your TomTom GO has two different kinds of voices:  
• Computer voices  
These are generated by your GO. They provide spoken instructions  
while you are driving and can pronounce street names and announce  
messages, traffic reports, weather reports, tips and tutorials.  
• Human voices  
These are recorded by an actor.  
Note: Human voices only provide spoken instructions.  
How do computer voices w ork?  
Your TomTom GO makes use of text-to-speech technology to generate  
computer voices. A text-to-speech program converts written text, for example  
an instruction like “Turn right”, into the sound of a human voice.  
The text-to-speech program looks at the whole sentence to make sure that the  
sound you hear is as close to the real thing as possible. The program is also  
able to recognize and quite accurately pronounce foreign place and street  
names. For example, the English voice can read French street names.  
Note: If you select a human voice, this will only be able to announce  
commands, but not street names. If you would like street names to be  
announced, you will need to select a computer voice.  
Using computer voices  
Computer voices can do more than just give spoken instructions. They can  
also include more information in their instructions, such as the name of the  
street you should turn on to. Computer voices can also read other information  
aloud, including road numbers, traffic warnings and incoming messages.  
To set the information that a computer voice reads aloud, do the following:  
1. Tap Change preferences in the Main Menu.  
2. Tap Voice preferences.  
3. Tap Speech preferences then select the information that your selected  
computer voice should read aloud.  
Internal and external speakers  
Your TomTom GO contains a high quality speaker. This is used to play all the  
sounds on your GO unless you select to play some sounds through external  
speakers.  
The following types of sounds can be played through the speakers as listed  
below:  
Spoken instructions and warnings:  
• The speaker inside your GO  
32  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
• An external Bluetooth® Hi-Fi headset or speakers  
• Using an audio cable.  
• Music  
• The speaker inside your GO  
• An external Bluetooth® Hi-Fi headset or speakers  
• Using an audio cable.  
• Phone calls  
• The speaker inside your GO  
Note: If you wish to use an audio cable, a Windshield Mount with an audio  
connector is available as an accessory. Your car stereo needs a line-in  
connector. Not all car stereos have line-in connectors. Check the instructions  
for your car stereo for more information.  
Using Bluetooth® Hi-Fi speakers  
Your GO can play sound through Bluetooth® Hi-Fi speakers, such as a  
Bluetooth® Hi-Fi headset, or a car stereo which uses Bluetooth®.  
To play sound over Bluetooth® Hi-Fi speakers, do the following:  
1. Tap Speaker preferences in the Preferences menu.  
Tap this button to change the speaker settings.  
Speaker  
preferences  
2. To play spoken instructions through a Bluetooth device, select Bluetooth  
Hi-Fi device.  
3. To play music through a Bluetooth device, select Bluetooth Hi-Fi device.  
4. Tap Done.  
5. Your GO asks you to confirm that you want to use an external Bluetooth®  
Hi-Fi speaker. Tap YES.  
Your GO will start searching for Bluetooth® Hi-Fi devices.  
6. Select your Bluetooth® Hi-Fi device from the list of devices found by your  
GO.  
Your GO will try to establish a Bluetooth® connection with your device.  
Your device may require you to enter a password on your GO before a  
Bluetooth® connection can be established. See the documentation for your  
Bluetooth® Hi-Fi device for more information.  
Once connected, sound will be played through the external Bluetooth® Hi-Fi  
device.  
If your GO cannot establish a Bluetooth® connection, then all sound will be  
played through the internal speaker or through the audio cable if it is  
connected.

interference to radio communications and television reception.  
This device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B  
digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed  
to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential  
installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency  
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may  
cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no  
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this  
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,  
which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is  
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following  
measures:  
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.  
• Increase the separation distance between the equipment and the receiver.  
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to  
which the receiver is connected.  
• Consult an experienced radio/TV technician for help.  
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for  
compliance could void the users authority to operate the equipment.
