Before You Start...

Everyone Loves TomTom GO

So never leave your GO in your car when you’re not using it - it’s an easy target

for thieves.

Always take your GO, the windshield mount, and the car charger with you;

don’t leave any TomTom products on display.

Always store your GO in the carry case to protect the screen.

Back Up Your TomTom GO

It’s always a good idea to make a backup of the contents of your TomTom GO.

You can make a backup using TomTom HOME.

For more information about TomTom HOME, see Using TomTom HOME on

page 65.

Look After Your TomTom GO

It is important to take care of your GO and to clean it correctly.

• Use a soft cloth to wipe the screen of your GO; do not use any liquid

cleaners.

• If your GO gets wet, dry it with a soft cloth.

• Do not open the casing of your GO under any circumstances. Doing so may

be dangerous and will invalidate your warranty.

• Do not use the memory card (SD card) with any device other than a

TomTom device. Other devices may damage the memory card.

• Do not expose your GO to high or low temperatures, which can cause

permanent damage. For example, don’t leave it in the car on hot summer

days or during cold winter nights.

Getting started

Switching on

Follow the instructions on the Installation Poster to dock your TomTom GO in

your car.

The first time you switch on your TomTom GO, it may take up to 20 seconds

to start. To switch off your TomTom GO, press and hold the On/Off button for

2 seconds.

Setting up

You have to answer a few questions to set up your TomTom GO. Answer the

questions by tapping the screen. You will use the touchscreen for everything

you do with your GO.

You can change these settings at any time using the the Preferences menu.

For information about the Preferences menu, see Preferences on page 51.

Once you have answered the questions, your GO will display the Driving View.

The Driving View is shown in black and white until your GO locates your

current position.

For more information about the Driving View, see Driving View on page 17.

Locating your current position

Your TomTom GO must be outside to locate your current position. The first

time you start your GO, it can take up to 5 minutes to find your current

position. If it takes longer than 5 minutes, make sure that you are in an open

place without tall buildings or trees around you.

In the future, your position will be found much faster, normally within a few

seconds.

Once your GO has located your current position, the Driving View is shown in

full color and shows your position on the map.

•

Finding your position faster

To find your position faster, use the home dock in combination with TomTom

HOME on your computer. When connected to the Internet, TomTom HOME

automatically downloads information which helps your GO locate your

position faster.

For more information about GPS, see How Does Navigation Work? on

page 67.

Note: Your TomTom GO does not transmit your position. You can, however,

send your position to TomTom Buddies. For more information, visit

www.tomtom.com/plus

Note: Some vehicles have a heat reflective shield embedded in the

windshield that may prevent TomTom GO from locating your current

position. If this is a problem in your vehicle, use the TomTom External

Antenna Kit (available as an accessory).

Docking your TomTom GO

Docking your

TomTom GO

Windshield Dock

Use the windshield dock to position your TomTom GO in your car. The

installation poster shows how to attach the dock to your windshield.

Using the Remote Control

The remote control is included with the GO 910 and can be bought as an

accessory for the GO 710/510. There are 5 sets of buttons on the remote

control:

• Volume up and down

• OK button - to open the Main Menu or press a button on the screen.

• Arrow buttons - to move around the screen.

• Left and right buttons - to press Done or Cancel when they are displayed.

• Keyboard button - to open the keyboard.

Home Dock

With the home dock you can charge your TomTom GO when it is not in the

car and also connect your GO to your computer. Connect the home dock to

the home charger and your computer as shown below.

Place your TomTom GO in the home dock in the same way as you place it in

the windshield dock.

When connected to your computer, you can use TomTom HOME with your

GO. For information about TomTom HOME, see Using TomTom HOME on

page 65.

Tips

• Make sure your windshield is clean and dry before trying to attach the

dock.

• Place the dock so it does not block your view of the road.

• Attach the dock to an area of the windshield where the glass is flat, not

curved.
