Positioning the device
Consider carefully where to install your TomTom navigation device in your car. The navigation
device should not block or interfere with any of the following:
Your view of the road
Any of the controls in your car
Any of your mirrors
Any airbags
When your navigation device is installed, you should be able to reach the device easily without
leaning or stretching. You can attach the device to the windscreen or you can use a Dashboard
Mount Disk to attach the mount to your dashboard. Dashboard Mount Disks are included with
some products and are available as accessories. The following diagrams show where you can
safely attach the mount.
TomTom also offers alternative mounting solutions for your TomTom navigation device. For more
information about Dashboard Mount Disks and alternative mounting solutions, go to
tomtom.com/accessories.
Installing in your car
Use the mount provided with your device to install your TomTom device in your vehicle. You can
attach your device to your windscreen or use a Dashboard Mount Disk to attach your device to
your dashboard. See the printed installation instructions included with your product for more
information. Read the instructions about positioning your device before you install your device.
To install your device, do the following:
1. Choose the best location to mount your TomTom device. The location should be as smooth as
possible.
2. If you are using the Dashboard Mounting Disk, clean the dashboard and install the disk.
3. Make sure that both the suction cup on the mount and your windscreen or disk are clean and
dry.
4. Press the suction cup of the mount firmly against your windscreen or disk.
5. Turn the rubber grip near the base of the mount in a clockwise direction until you feel it lock.
6. If your mount is not integrated into your device, place your device in the mount, making sure
that it clicks into place.

7. Plug the USB car charger into the power supply on your dashboard.
8. Connect the USB cable to the car charger and your device.
Your navigation device is now installed. The next step is to switch it on and answer a few ques-
tions.
Switching on and off
To switch on your navigation device, press and hold the On/Off button until you see the start-up
screen. The first time you switch on your device, you have to hold the button down for up to 15
seconds.
Setting up
Important: Take care to select the correct language as the language you choose will be used for
all text on the screen.
When you first switch on your device, you have to answer a few questions to set up the device.
Answer the questions by tapping the screen.
GPS reception
When you first start your TomTom navigation device, the device may need a few minutes to
determine your GPS position and show your current position on the map. In future, your position
will be found much faster, usually within a few seconds.
To ensure good GPS reception, you should use your device outdoors and keep your device
upright. Large objects such as tall buildings can sometimes interfere with reception. GPS reception
can also be affected if the device is placed flat on a surface or held flat in your hand.
Micro-SD card slot
Some types of TomTom navigation devices have a micro-SD card slot that is located on the side
or on the 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. When your device is up-to-date,
you can use a memory card as extra storage space to add extra maps to your device. Maps can be
purchased from tomtom.com.
About MyDrive
MyDrive is a web-based tool that helps you manage the contents and services of your TomTom
navigation device. You use MyDrive to get map updates as well as lots of other things.
You log in to MyDrive on the TomTom website. It is a good idea to frequently connect your
navigation device to MyDrive to ensure you always have the latest updates.
Tip: We recommend using a broadband internet connection whenever you connect your navi-
gation device to MyDrive.
11
Setting up MyDrive
To get ready to use MyDrive for the first time, do the following:
1. On your computer, open a web browser and go to tomtom.com/getstarted.
2. Click Get Started.
3. Click Download MyDrive Connect.
Follow the instructions on the screen.
4. When prompted, connect your device to your computer using the USB cable supplied with
your device, then switch your device on.
Note: Use ONLY the USB cable supplied with your device. Other USB cables may not work.
Note: You should plug the USB cable directly into a USB port on your computer and not into
a USB hub or USB port on a keyboard or monitor.
5. Enter the requested information for account creation, including your country.
When set-up is complete, a MyTomTom account is created and your navigation device is
linked to that account.
You can now access MyDrive Connect from the notification area on your desktop.
MyDrive starts automatically after the account is created.
Note: Next time you want to access MyDrive, go to tomtom.com/mydrive in a web browser.
Tip: When you connect your navigation device to your computer, MyDrive Connect tells you
if there are any updates for your device.
Safety settings
We recommend using the safety settings to make your driving as safe as possible.
These are some of the options included in the safety settings:
Show essential menu buttons while driving
Show safety reminders
Warn when driving faster than allowed
If your device supports voice control, you can also drive more safely by using voice control to
control your navigation device.
12
Device not starting
In rare cases, your TomTom navigation device may not start correctly or may stop responding to
your taps.
First, check that the battery is charged. To charge the battery, connect your device to the car
charger. It can take up to 2 hours to fully charge the battery.
If this does not solve the problem, you can reset the device. To do this, press and hold the On/Off
button until you hear the drum sound and your device restarts. This can take 30 seconds or more.
Charging your device
The battery in your TomTom navigation device charges when you connect it to the car charger or
to your computer.
Important: You should plug the USB connector directly into a USB port on your computer and not
into a USB hub or USB port on a keyboard or monitor.
Sharing information with TomTom
When you first start navigating or perform a reset, your device asks for permission to collect some
information about your use of the navigation device. The information is stored on the device until
we retrieve it. We use it anonymously to improve our products and services.
You can change whether you share this information with us at any time by doing the following:
1. In the Main Menu, tap Settings.
2. Tap Me and my device.
3. Tap My information.
4. Tap No to stop sharing or tap Yes to start sharing.
For more information, see our privacy policy at tomtom.com/privacy.
Safety Notice
Some navigation devices contain a GSM/GPRS module which can interfere with electrical devices
such as cardiac pacemakers, hearing aids and aviation equipment.
Interference with these devices may endanger the health or life of you or others.
If your device includes a GSM/GPRS module, do not use it near unprotected electrical units or in
areas where the use of mobile telephones is prohibited, such as hospitals and aircraft.
Take care of your navigation device
It is important to take care of your device:
Do not open the casing of your device under any circumstances. Doing so may be dangerous
and will invalidate the warranty.
Wipe or dry the screen of your device using a soft cloth. Do not use any liquid cleaners.
14
Planning a route
Important: In the interest of safety and to reduce distractions while you are driving, you should
always plan a route before you start driving.
Important: If you are using a TomTom camper and caravan product, before planning a route you
should set up your device for your vehicle.
To plan a route on your TomTom device, do the following:
1. Tap the screen to open the Main Menu.
2. Tap Navigate to or Drive to.
3. Tap Address.
You can change the country or state setting by tapping the flag before you select a city.
4. Enter the town or city name, or the postcode.
Tip: If your device supports voice control, instead of typing the address, tap the microphone
button to enter the address by speaking to your TomTom device.
Towns with similar names are shown in the list while you type.
When the correct city or town appears in the list, tap the name to select the destination.
Planning a route
15
5. Enter the street name.
Streets with similar names are shown in the list while you type.
When the correct street name appears in the list, tap the name to select the destination.
6. Enter the house number, then tap Done.
7. The location is shown on the map. Tap Select to continue or tap Back to enter another ad-
dress.
Important: If you are planning a caravan or camper route and no specific route can be found,
you are asked if you want to use a car route instead. If you use a car route pay special atten-
tion to any route restrictions while driving.
Tip: If you want your final destination to be a car park, tap Car park and select a location
from the list of car parks close to your general destination.
16
8. When the new route is shown, tap Done.
For more information about the route, tap Details.
To change your route, for example, to travel via a particular location or to select a new desti-
nation, tap Change route.
Your device starts to guide you to your destination, using spoken instructions and on-screen
directions.
Route summary
The route summary shows an overview of your route, the remaining distance to your destination
and the remaining estimated journey time.
To view the route summary, tap the right-hand panel on the status bar in the Driving view or tap
View route in the Main Menu and then tap Show route summary.
If you have TomTom Traffic or an RDS-TMC receiver, the route summary also shows traffic
information about delays on your route.
Note: To use a TomTom traffic information service, you may need a subscription or a receiver.
Traffic services are not supported in all countries or regions. For more information, visit
tomtom.com/services.
Alternative routes
Note: This feature is not available on all TomTom navigation devices.
17
Your TomTom device helps you reach your destination as quickly as possible by showing you a
faster alternative route when one is available.
To take the alternative route, tap the balloon at the top of the screen. If you don't want to follow
the alternative route, keep driving to continue to receive instructions for your original route.
Tip: The alternative route disappears when it is no longer faster than your original route or it is
too late for you to choose it.
To change how you are asked about alternative routes, tap Settings and then Route planning. Tap
Next until you reach Replanning settings.
Selecting a route type
Every time you plan a route, you can choose to be asked about the type of route you want to plan.
To do this, tap Settings followed by Route planning, then Route types. Tap Ask me every time I
plan.
If you are using a TomTom camper and caravan product, to choose the type of route you have to
set your vehicle type to Car. Tap Settings followed by Vehicle and routes, then Vehicle and route
types. Select Car as your vehicle type, then tap Ask me every time I plan.
18
Note: You can only choose to be asked about the type of route when you select a car as your
vehicle.
The types of route you can choose from are as follows:
Fastest route - the route which takes the least time.
Eco route - the most fuel-efficient route for your journey.
Shortest route - the shortest distance between the locations you set. This 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 based on a maximum speed. When you choose this type of route,
you enter a maximum speed. The route and estimated time of arrival are then planned
based on the speed that you entered.
Tap Next. If you selected Fastest route, you have to choose if you want to always avoid motor-
ways.
Frequent destinations
If you often make trips to the same destinations, you can set your TomTom device to ask if you
want to plan a route to one of these locations every time the device starts. This is faster than
planning a route in the normal way.
19
Show my frequent destinations
You can set your TomTom device to ask if you want to plan a route to one of your frequently
visited destinations every time the device starts.
To change this setting, do the following:
1. Tap Start up in the Settings menu and then select Ask for a destination.
2. Tap Yes, then tap Yes again to begin entering information about the destination.
3. Select a symbol for the destination and tap Done to set the symbol, then tap Yes.
Tip: To add new destinations, select one of the numbered symbols and enter a name for the
new destination button.
4. Tap Yes and if required enter a new name, then tap Done.
5. Enter the address details in the same way you enter an address when planning a route, then
tap Done.
6. If you want to set more destinations, repeat the steps above. Otherwise, tap Done.
7. You are asked if you want to change the start-up image.
8. If you want to change the image, tap Yes then follow the instructions shown on the screen.
Otherwise, tap No.
Every time your device starts, you are asked if you want to plan a route. If you tap Cancel, the
Driving View opens.
Using arrival times
You can set your TomTom device to ask you if you need to arrive at a particular time when you
plan a route.
Status bar
Tap Status bar in the Settings menu, to enable or disable arrival time
notifications.
To enable arrival time notifications, select Leeway.
After planning a route, tap YES to enter a preferred arrival time.
Your device 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 device 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.
20
You will arrive 19 minutes late.
If the estimated arrival time is later than the time you entered, it is shown
in red.
Navigation menu options
When you tap Navigate to or Drive to, you can set your destination in many ways, not just by
entering the address. The other options are listed below:
Home
Tap this button to navigate to your Home location.
You will probably use this button more than any other.
Favourite
Tap this button to select a Favourite as your destination.
Address
Tap this button to enter an address as your destination.
Recent destination
Tap this button to select your destination from a list of places you have
recently used as destinations.
Point of Interest
Tap this button to navigate to a Point of Interest (POI).
Spoken address
On some devices you can enter an address using speech. See Voice
control.
Point on map
Tap this button to select a point on the map as your destination using the
map browser.
Latitude Longitude
Tap this button to enter a destination using latitude and longitude values.
21
Position of last
stop
Tap this button to select your last recorded position as your destination.
Local search
Tap this button to use Local Search with TomTom Places to help you find
shops and businesses in and around your current location.
You can choose to search for shops and businesses near you, near your
destination, near any other destination or in a city.
For example, if you are looking for a swimming pool near your current
location, enter 'swimming pool' and choose the best search result.
Planning a route in advance
You can use your TomTom device to plan a route in advance, selecting your starting point and
your destination.
Here are some more reasons to plan a route in advance:
Find out how long a journey is going to take before you start.
You can also compare journey times for the same route at different times of the day or on
different days of the week. Your device uses IQ Routes when planning a route. IQ Routes cal-
culates routes based on the real average speeds measured on roads.
Study the route of a journey you are planning.
Check a route for someone who is coming to visit you and then explain the route to them in
detail.
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 Plan route.
This button is shown while there is no planned route on your TomTom device.
3. Select the starting point for your journey in the same way that you would select your destina-

About sounds and voices
Your TomTom device uses sound for some or all of the following:
Driving directions and other route instructions
Warnings that you set
Hands-free phone calls
Note: Hands-free calling is not supported on all navigation devices.
There are two types of voice available for your device:
Computer voices
Computer voices are generated by your device. They provide route instructions and read
aloud city and street names, traffic and other useful information.
Human voices
These are recorded by an actor and only provide route instructions.
Note: Not all devices have computer voices.
About computer voices
Your TomTom device uses text-to-speech technology and computer voices to read the street
names on your map as it guides you on your route.
The computer voice analyses the whole phrase or sentence before speaking, to ensure that the
sentence sounds as close as possible to natural speech.
Computer voices can recognise and pronounce foreign towns and street names. For example, the
English computer voice can read and pronounce French street names but pronunciation may not
be completely accurate.

To select a different voice on your TomTom device, either tap Change voice in the Settings menu
or tap Voices, then tap Change voice and select the required voice.

About RDS-TMC
The Traffic Message Channel (TMC), also known as RDS-TMC, transmits traffic information as a
radio signal and is available free of charge in many countries.
TMC is not a TomTom Service, but is available when using the TomTom RDS-TMC Traffic Receiv-
er.
Note: TomTom is not responsible for the availability or quality of traffic information provided by
the Traffic Message Channel.
The Traffic Message Channel (TMC) is not available in all countries. To check the availability of
TMC services in your country, go to tomtom.com/5826.
Using traffic information
If you are using an RDS-TMC receiver to view TMC traffic information on your TomTom device,
connect the TomTom RDS-TMC Traffic Receiver to the USB connector on your device.
The traffic sidebar is shown on the right side of the Driving View. The sidebar informs you about
traffic delays while you drive, using glowing dots to show you where each traffic incident is
located on your route.
The top of the traffic sidebar represents your destination and shows the
total time delay due to traffic jams and other incidents on your route.
The central section of the traffic sidebar shows individual traffic incidents
in the order they occur on your route.
The bottom of the traffic sidebar represents your current location and
shows the distance to the next incident on your route.
To make the traffic sidebar more readable some incidents may not be shown. These incidents will
always be of minor importance and only cause short delays.
The colour of the pointers, as shown below, gives you an instant indication of the type of incident:
Unknown or undetermined situation.
Slow traffic.
Queueing traffic.

76
Stationary traffic or road closure.
Taking the fastest route
Your TomTom device regularly looks for a faster route to your destination. If the traffic situation

You can also set your device to automatically replan your journey whenever a faster route is
found. To apply this setting, tap Traffic settings in the Traffic menu.
To manually find and replan the fastest route to your destination, do the following:
1. Tap the traffic sidebar.
Tip: If you find that tapping the sidebar opens the Main menu instead of the traffic menu, try
tapping the sidebar with your finger resting on the edge of the screen.
A summary of traffic on your route is shown.
2. Tap Options.
3. Tap Minimise delays.
Your device searches for the fastest route to your destination.

ble route.
7. Tap Done.
Making commuting to work easier
The Home to work or Work to home buttons in the Show home-work traffic menu lets you check
your route to and from work with one tap of a button.

Settings Menu. In addition, the locations you use here do not have to be your actual home and
work locations. If there is another route that you often travel, you can set Work/Home to use
these locations instead.
For example, to check for delays on your route home before you leave the office, do the following:
1. Tap the traffic sidebar to open the Traffic menu.

About danger zones
Since 3rd January 2012, it has been illegal to receive warnings about the position of fixed or
mobile speed cameras when you are driving in France. To be compliant with this change in French
law, all types of speed camera locations are no longer reported but instead, areas of danger are
indicated as zones.
In France, TomTom terminated the Speed Cameras service and introduced a new service called
TomTom Danger Zones.
Danger zones may or may not contain one or more speed cameras or a range of other driving
hazards:
Specific locations are not available and a danger zone icon is shown instead as you approach
the zone.
The minimum length of the zone depends on the road type and is 300m for roads in built-up
areas, 2000m (2km) for secondary roads or 4000m (4km) for motorways.
The location of one or more speed cameras, if any, can be at any point within the zone.
If two danger zones are close to each other, the warnings can be merged into a single longer
zone.
Important: Outside France, you receive warnings about speed cameras. Inside France, you
receive warnings about danger zones. When you cross the border, the type of warning you
receive changes.
Danger zone warnings
Warnings are given 10 seconds before you reach a danger zone. You are warned in the following
ways:
Your device plays a warning sound.
You see a marker on the road in the Driving View showing the start of the zone.
You see a warning panel.
Danger zones have minimum lengths: Highways 4km, Secondary roads 2km and built-up
areas 300m.
Changing the way you are warned
These settings allow you to control danger zone warnings and also to change alert sounds.
1. Tap Settings in the Main menu.
2. Tap Services.
3. Tap Safety Alerts.
4. Tap Disable/Enable Alerts to turn Safety Alerts off or on.

only warned about danger zones. Danger zones include all other types of
warnings.

Tap this button in the Driving View to report a danger zone. A confirma-
tion screen appears. Tap Yes to confirm the danger zone. A Thank you

About TomTom camper and caravan products
TomTom camper and caravan products let you choose the type of vehicle you are driving so that
the route planned by your device is suitable for your vehicle. You can choose a car, a car with
caravan, a motorhome, or a van as the vehicle type. Routes planned by your device avoid re-
strictions for the vehicle type. For example, a route calculated for a motorhome may be different
from the route calculated for a car. You can set the size, weight and type of your vehicle as well as
your preferred type of route.
Before you can choose your vehicle type you must select the camper and caravan map on your
device.
Important: You must pay attention to all traffic signs, especially those relating to your vehicle’s
dimensions and weight. We cannot guarantee you will never encounter them on your route and
ignoring such restrictions can be dangerous.
You can select your vehicle in the quick menu in the Driving View. If there are only one or two
buttons in your quick menu, a small icon in the Driving View shows the type of vehicle selected. If
a route is already planned and you select a different vehicle, the route is recalculated for the new
vehicle.
