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
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 with us at any time by doing the following:
1. In the Main Menu, select the Settings button.
2. Select System.
3. Select Your information & privacy.
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.
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
or to store routes and tracks to your device. Maps can be purchased from tomtom.com.
Important: Routes and tracks cannot be stored on the same memory card as maps because different
memory card formatting is used.
Device not starting
In rare cases, your Rider device may not start correctly or may stop responding to your taps.
