Setting up
To start using your phone as a navigation device, tap the TomTom button in
the Windows Mobile start menu.
To set up your navigation device, you need to answer a few questions by
tapping the screen.

choose will be used for all menus and written instructions.
Activation
You will be asked how you want to activate the map that comes with
NAVIGATOR. There are two ways to do this:

To activate automatically, your device must have an active wireless data
connection (GPRS, EDGE, UMTS or CDMA).
Tap Automatic, then enter your product code. The product code is printed
on the product code card that is included with your product.
TomTom NAVIGATOR will connect to TomTom using the wireless data
connection and activate the map.

1. Tap Manual.
2. Go to this website: www.ttcode.com
3. Follow the instructions on this page to get an activation code.
4. Enter the activation code on your device to activate the map.
Improving reception
If your TomTom NAVIGATOR takes longer than 5 minutes to find your current
position, make sure that the device is in an open space away from tall objects,
such as buildings or trees.
Important: Some vehicles have heat reflective shielding in the windscreen.
This may prevent your NAVIGATOR from locating your current position.

In other countries you can enter a postcode to identify a town or area. You will
then have to enter a street and house number.

point where two streets meet.
In this example, we will enter an exact address.

You can change this setting at any time by tapping the country flag.

8. Your NAVIGATOR asks if you need to arrive at a particular time. For this
exercise, tap NO.
The route is calculated by your NAVIGATOR.

Your NAVIGATOR 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 NAVIGATOR asks you if you need to
arrive at a particular time.
Tap YES to enter a preferred arrival time.
Your NAVIGATOR 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. If your
NAVIGATOR shows that you will arrive 30 minutes early, you can wait and
leave in 30 minutes time, rather than arrive early.
Your arrival time is constantly recalculated during your journey. The status bar
shows whether you will arrive on time or if you are going to be late, as shown
below:
You will arrive 55 minutes before the arrival time you entered.
If the estimated arrival time is more than five minutes before
the time you entered, it is shown in green.
You will arrive 3 minutes before the arrival time you entered.
If the estimated arrival time is less than 5 minutes before the
time you entered, it is shown in yellow.

explain the route to them.
To plan a route in advance, follow these steps:
1. Tap the screen to bring up the main menu.
2. Tap the arrow button to move to the next menu screen and tap Prepare
route.
3. Select the starting point for your journey in the same way that you would
select your destination.

may not be the quickest route, especially if the shortest route is through
a town or city.

•Walking route - a route designed for making the journey on foot.
•Bicycle route - a route designed for making the journey on a bicycle.
•Limited speed - a route for a vehicle which can only be driven at a limited
