For information about what you see on the device itself, go to What's on the screen.

When you log in to your TomTom account from your navigation device or when using a web browser, syncing with your account happens automatically. Logging in to MyDrive on your START 1. Connect your START to your computer using MyDrive Connect. 2.
Importing a community POI list - MyDrive - NOT CONNECTED You can find collections of community POIs on the Internet and upload them to My Places using MyDrive in a web browser. A POI collection might contain, for example, campsites or restaurants for the area you are travelling in, and provides an easy way to select a location without the need to search for the location each time. Your START uses .OV2 files for POI collections. To upload an .OV2 file to your START, do the following: 1.
1. Connect your START to your computer using MyDrive Connect. 2. In MyDrive, select My Routes. 3. Select Import a GPX File and browse to your .GPX track file. Tip: The name of the track file in My Routes will be the same as the name of the .GPX file. Edit the name of the file so that you can easily recognise it in My Routes. Your new track is shown in the My Routes list. 4. Wait for the track file to upload to your START. 5. Open My Routes. Your imported track is shown in your My Routes list.
Using Quick Search About search You use the Drive To menu to find addresses and Points of Interest (POI) and then navigate to them. You must first choose the country or state you want to search in, then enter the address or the POI type or name. In Address, you can search for the following: A specific address in a town or city. A postcode, for example, type in W1D 1LL for Oxford Street, London. A city to navigate to a city centre, for example, type in London.
Select this button to go back to the previous screen. 2. Search input box. Enter your search term here. As you type, matching addresses or POIs are shown.

When you select an address from the list of search results, you can choose to show it on the map, add a cross road or plan a route to that chosen location. To get an exact address you can add the house number. When you select a POI from the list of search results, it is shown on the map. When you show the address or POI on the map, you can use the pop-up menu to add the location to My Places. If a route is already planned, you can add the location to your current route.
Postcodes for areas Countries such as Germany, France and Belgium use this type of postcode. If you search using a postcode for an area, your results include all the streets in a city district, the whole town, or the villages within that postcode. Note: If you search using a postcode for an area, you will not get a specific address in your results. This type of postcode is still very useful in reducing the number of search results.
