2. Before you start... Before you start... Switching on and off To switch your TomTom GO on or off, press and hold the On/Off button for 2 seconds. The first time you switch on, it may take a short while for your device to start. Note: In rare cases, your GO may not start correctly. If this happens, press the reset button, then switch on the device again. Setting up To set up your TomTom GO you need to answer a few questions by tapping the screen.
When you connect your TomTom GO to your computer, you can use TomTom HOME to download information about GPS satellite positions during the next 7 days. This helps your GO to find your position faster. Important: Some vehicles have heat reflective shielding in the windscreen. This may prevent your GO from locating your current position. The TomTom External Antenna Kit (available for purchase as an accessory) can help to improve reception.
3. Driving View Driving View When your TomTom GO starts, you are shown the Driving View along with detailed information about your current location. Tap the centre of the screen at any time to open the Main Menu. Note: The Driving View is shown in black and white until your GO locates your current position. A Tap + and - to zoom in and out. B Your current position. C The name of the next major road or road sign information, if applicable. D Navigation instruction for the road ahead.
4. Enhanced Positioning Technology Enhanced Positioning Technology Note: Enhanced Positioning Technology is available on the TomTom GO 930 and 930T. Enhanced Positioning Technology or EPT estimates your location when GPS reception is poor, such as when you drive between tall buildings. Your GO uses positioning sensors to monitor your acceleration and direction and then estimates your current location. EPT only helps your GO to estimate your location.
5. Making your first journey Making your first journey Planning a route with your TomTom GO is easy. To plan your first route, follow the steps below. Important: You should always plan your journey before you start driving. It is dangerous to plan a route while driving. 1. Tap the screen to bring up the Main Menu. Note: The buttons on your GO are shown in full colour unless a button is currently unavailable. For example, the button named Find alternative...
• Crossing or intersection - tap this button to set your destination as the point where two streets meet. • Spoken address - tap this button to set your destination by announcing the address to your GO.

Note: When planning a trip for the first time your GO asks you to choose a country. Your choice is saved and used for all routes you plan.
The route is calculated by your GO. IQ RoutesTM is used to plan the best possible route, using historical information about traffic speed on the roads. 9. When the route has been calculated, tap Done. Your GO will 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 GO asks you if you need to arrive at a particular time. Tap YES to enter a preferred arrival time.
What are the other navigation options? When you tap Navigate to..., you can set your destination in many ways, not just by entering the address. The other options are listed below: Tap this button to navigate to your Home location. You will probably use this button more than any other.

6. 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 don’t like. Tap Find alternative...
Tap this button to change your route so that it passes a particular location, perhaps to pick someone up on the way. 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 GO will calculate a new route to your destination that passes the location you chose. Using this button, you can only travel via one location.

19. Traffic information Traffic information You can obtain traffic information in three ways: • TomTom HD Traffic • TomTom Traffic • Traffic Message Channel (TMC) Important: Reliable TMC Traffic reception is highly dependent upon optimal antenna placement, vehicle features such as windscreen reflective shielding, the surrounding environment such as mountains and high buildings and RDSTMC Radio station transmission signal strength.
The blue HD Traffic Receiver indicator flashes while your HD Traffic Receiver attempts to connect to the TomTom HD Traffic Receiver service. When the connection is made, the HD Traffic Receiver indicator stops flashing and stays lit. You can now begin using your HD Traffic Receiver. Safety Notice A TomTom HD Traffic Receiver contains a GSM module which can interfere with electrical devices such as cardiac pacemakers, hearing aids and aviation equipment.
The Traffic Message Channel (TMC) TMC transmits traffic information as a radio signal and is available free-ofcharge in many countries. TMC is not a TomTom Service, but is available when using the TomTom RDSTMC Traffic Receiver. The TomTom RDS-TMC Traffic Receiver is included with some products and available as an accessory for others. Note: TomTom is not responsible for the availability or quality of traffic information provided by TMC. TMC is not available in all countries or regions. Go to tomtom.
20. TomTom Traffic TomTom Traffic TomTom Traffic is a TomTom Service for receiving up-to-date traffic information. TomTom Traffic requires a Bluetooth enabled mobile phone and a wireless data connection (GPRS, EDGE, UMTS, CDMA). TomTom Traffic uses the most up-to-date information from the best local sources. For more information about subscribing see tomtom.com/services Setting up TomTom Traffic To use TomTom Traffic, you need to establish a connection between your mobile phone and your TomTom device.
Traffic information has not been updated for at least 15 minutes. Traffic information has not been updated for at least 30 minutes. Traffic information has not been updated for at least 45 minutes.
