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 920 and 920T. 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.

The route is calculated by your GO. 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. 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.
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. Home For information about setting your Home location, see Change Home location (52). Tap this button to select a Favourite as your destination. For more information about Favourites, see Favourites (32).

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.
7. Sounds and voices Sounds and voices The sound on your TomTom GO is used for features such as: • Spoken instructions • Hands-free calls • Warnings • Music For information on making hands-free calls on your GO, see Hands-free calling (46).

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 to an external audio device with speakers.
8. Spoken address Spoken address Important: You should always plan your journey before you start driving. It is dangerous to plan a route while driving. When you plan a journey with your TomTom GO, instead of tapping the screen to type in an address, you can use speech recognition to say the address. Tap this button to enter an address using only speech. Using this option, your GO can recognise the following: Spoken address (dialogue) • Commands: Yes, No, Back, Done, OK, Crossing. • Street names.
Speaking to your TomTom GO When any of the following symbols are shown on the screen, it is possible to enter information using speech. Sound level correct - When the recording level is shown in green, the device hears your voice at the correct level. Sound level low - When the recording level is shown in yellow, the device has difficulty in hearing your voice. This may mean that you need to speak more loudly or move closer to the device.
4. 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.
If the street 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 street name again. 6. Say the house number. Numbers should be pronounced as individual numerals, but without waiting in between each digit. For example, you would say the number 357 as one continuous sentence, "Three, five, seven,". If the number is shown incorrectly, say, "Back" or "No" or tap the Backspace key. Then say the number again.

The following symbols are shown at the top of the Traffic sidebar: Your device is looking for a radio station with RDS-TMC traffic information. Your device has found a suitable radio station and is checking for the latest traffic information. Your device is tuned to a radio station and receives RDS-TMC traffic information when available. Tip: The yellow circle is shown at the top of the Traffic sidebar if your device cannot find a suitable radio station.

Your device lists the countries that have radio stations providing RDSTMC traffic information that you can currently receive. Normally you can leave this set to Any country (strongest signal). For more information about this country setting, see Choosing the correct country for RDSTMC reception (85). 5. Tap Done.
To see if there is a quicker way home, you could now tap the Find alternative button and then tap Minimise traffic delays. Tip: You can let your device automatically look for alternative routes by selecting Automatically minimise delays after every traffic update in your Traffic preferences. For more information, see Changing traffic preferences (82). Note: It is possible that the alternative route could be longer than your original one (even with its delays).
