UK Switching on for the first time Starting up 1. Refer to your installation poster for setup instructions. 2. Follow the on-screen instructions, using your finger on the touchscreen to select your preferences. Using TomTom GO As with many of the menus in TomTom GO, there are more options than can be shown on one screen. Try tapping on a few times, to cycle through all the different things you can do. Note that this image of the main menu may vary per model and region.
Switching on for the first time Using the remote control The remote control is included with the GO 700 model and is also available as an accessory for GO 700 and GO 500 models. You can use the TomTom remote control instead of the main touchscreen in circumstances where you’d rather not reach over and tap the screen directly. The remote control uses radio waves so you don’t need to point it at your TomTom GO.
UK How to plan your first route How to plan your first route 1. Move outside, if you haven’t already done so, so that the GPS hardware can locate your position. This may take some time, and will happen more quickly if you remain stationary. The screen displays your current position on its map, represented in a ‘3D’ navigation view, from a driver’s perspective. When you start moving, the navigation view will match the streets outside as you would see them through your windscreen.
How to plan your first route UK 4. The best way to see how your TomTom GO works is to use it for real, so think of the address that you want to visit and enter the first few letters of the city, town or village. Be as specific as possible. As you type, the letters are compared to the built-in list of possible names and any matches appear in the browser window. Quick-matching a town name. Use and to scroll through other possible matches. If you make a mistake, use to delete the last letter entered. 5.
UK How to plan your first route 7. The fastest route from your current position to your destination is then calculated. This should only take a few seconds and its progress is shown on the screen. When done, a summary is shown, on a suitably scaled map. Studying this summary can be useful for you to get a feel for your journey’s scope and to check if the route includes roads that you’d rather avoid (in which case, see ‘Finding alternative routes’, below). 8.
� � � � � � What’s on the screen? � � � � � � � � � � What’s on the screen? � � � � � Much of the information on the main navigation view is configurable (see the ‘Preferences’ chapter for details). � If you miss a voice instruction, tap on the turn instruction in the bottom left hand corner to generate a new one. And if you’d like to view the route summary again, tap anywhere in the journey information panel in the bottom right hand corner.
UK Finding alternative routes Finding alternative routes Perhaps a route has been planned that you’re not happy with? Perhaps you have been routed via a busy junction? Perhaps you have spotted roadworks up ahead? Or perhaps you really wanted to go ‘via’ one particular location? In each of these cases, ‘Find alternative...’ can help you. Again, you’ll see it on the main menu, right next to ‘Navigate to...’. Which ‘Find alternative’ option you go for depends on why you’re dissatisfied with the first route.
Advanced planning Advanced planning Although navigating from your current position is the function that you’ll use most often, there may be times when you want to plan ahead. Choosing ‘Advanced planning’ on the main menu lets you look at the best route and journey time between any two given locations or get directions that will help someone else get to your current position. Tip: You may need to use ‘Advanced planning’ icon.
UK Preferences Preferences You can change much of the look and feel of your TomTom system to your own liking by using the main menu option ‘Change preferences’ . Use to cycle through the different pages of preferences. Here are some of the most important ones (you’ll find the full set in the manual on CD). Tip: The icons shown for some preferences will change, depending on the state the preference is currently in. For example, choosing ‘Turn off sound’ disables the voice instructions.
Preferences Manage POI POI is an abbreviation you’ll see a lot, standing for ‘Point Of Interest’. Dozens of categories of POIs are built-in, from airports to petrol stations, from restaurants to theatres. Most importantly, POIs can be used as destinations, can be shown on the map and can even warn you of their proximity (for example, looking for a car park or petrol station while driving in a strange city). A typical selection of POIs from the categories selected in the ‘Manage POI’ preference.
UK Connecting to your phone Using GO 700 or GO 500 If you have a Bluetooth-capable mobile phone then you can use your TomTom GO 700 or GO 500 as a hands-free car kit. Although some functions are dependent on your phone’s capabilities, you should usually be able to: NL • Accept incoming calls on the TomTom GO screen with a single tap of the screen. • See that a new SMS message has arrived and read its contents, again with a single tap.
Connecting to your phone 4. When prompted to connect, enter a passcode (password) of ‘0000’ on the phone. 5. You will then be asked to set up a wireless Internet connection. Do this if you want to use TomTom PLUS services. 6. Finally, you can copy your phone book to the TomTom GO. You cannot use hands-free features while this is happening. Tip: To allow automatic connection from now on, make the TomTom GO a ‘trusted’ device on your phone.” Use ‘Call’ and then ‘Number’ to make your first hands-free call.
