Getting started2.
3
Getting started Install your TomTom XL in your car following the instructions on the
installation poster at the start of this book.
To switch on your TomTom XL, press and hold the On/Off button for 2
seconds. The first time you switch on your device, it may take a short while to
start.
You have to answer a few questions to set up your device.
Having problems?
In rare cases, your XL may not start correctly or may stop responding to your
taps.
First, check that the battery is charged properly. To fully charge the battery,
you need to charge it for at least 2 hours.
If this doesn’t work, you can reset your device. To do this, press and hold the
Power button for fifteen seconds. Release the Power button when device
begins to restart.
Charging your TomTom XL
Before you use your XL for the first time, it’s a good idea to charge it fully using
the home charger, which takes about 2 hours.
There is no charging light on your XL. To check the battery status and see
when your XL is charging, switch on your device and tap the bottom right-
hand corner of the screen in the Driving View. The battery status is shown on
the next page.
Improving reception
If your TomTom XL 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.
When you connect your TomTom XL to your computer, you can use TomTom
HOME to download information about GPS satellite positions during the next
7 days. This helps your XL to find your position faster.
Important: Some vehicles have heat reflective shielding in the windshield.
This may prevent your XL from locating your current position.
Take care of your TomTom XL
Never leave your TomTom XL or accessories in view when you leave the car
or they may become an easy target for thieves.
4
You can set a password for your TomTom XL which must be entered every
time you start your XL.
It is important to take care of your XL.
• Your XL is not designed for use in extreme temperatures and any such
exposure may cause permanent damage.
• Do not open the casing of your XL under any circumstances. Doing so may
be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty.
• Wipe or dry the screen of your XL using a soft cloth. Do not use any liquid
cleaners.

Making your first trip Planning a route with your TomTom XL 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 XL are shown in full color unless a button is
currently unavailable. For example, the button named Find alternative... in
the Main Menu is not available until you have planned a route.
2. Tap Navigate to...
3. Tap Address.
When you enter an address, you can choose from the following options:
•City center - tap this button to set your destination as the center of a city
or town.
•Street and house number - tap this button to set an exact address as your
destination.
•ZIP code - tap this button to enter a ZIP code as your destination.
•Cross street or intersection - tap this button to set your destination as the
point where two streets meet.
In this example, we will enter an exact address.
4. Tap Street and house number.
7
Note: When planning a trip for the first time your XL asks you to choose a state
or country. Your choice is saved and used for all routes you plan.
You can change this setting at any time by tapping the state symbol or country
flag.
5. Start to type the name of the town where you want to go.
As you type, the names of the towns that match what you have typed are
shown. When your destination appears in the list, tap the name of the town
to set the destination.
6. Start to type the name of the street and select it when it is shown.
As with the name of the town, the names of the streets that match what you
have typed are shown. When your destination appears in the list, tap the
name of the street to set the destination.
7. Now enter the house number of your destination and then tap Done.
8. Your XL asks if you need to arrive at a particular time. For this exercise, tap
NO.
The route is calculated by your XL.
9. When the route has been calculated, tap Done.
Your XL will immediately begin to guide you to your destination, using both
spoken instructions and on-screen directions.
8
Arrival times
When you plan a route, your TomTom XL asks you if you need to arrive at a
particular time.
Tap YES to enter a preferred arrival time.
Your XL 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
XL 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 trip. The status bar
shows whether you will arrive on time or if you are going to be late, as shown
below:
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:
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.
You will arrive 19 minutes late.
If the estimated arrival time is later than the time you entered,
it is shown in red.
Status bar
preferences
Tap Status bar preferences in the Preferences menu, to enable or disable
arrival time notifications.
Select the required options on the first menu screen and then tap Done.
To enable arrival time notifications, select Show leeway to arrival time.
Home
Tap this button to navigate to your Home location.
You will probably use this button more than any other.

starting point and your destination. You could, for example, do the following:
• Find out how long a trip is going to take before you start.

• Check a route for someone who is coming to visit you so you can explain
the route to them.
To plan a route in advance, follow these steps:

Finding alternative routes5.
11
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 gas.
• You want to avoid a difficult intersection or a road you don’t like.
Find alterna-
tive...
Tap Find alternative... in the Main Menu to change the route that is
currently planned.
Then tap one of the options below.
Calculate
alternative
Tap this button to calculate an alternative to the route already planned.
Your XL will look for another route from your current location to your
destination.
If you decide you would prefer to use the original route after all, tap
Recalculate original.
Why would I need to do this?
Apart from the roads near your position and near your destination, the new
route will use totally different roads to reach your destination. This is an
easy way of calculating a totally different route.
Avoid
roadblock
Tap this button if you can see a roadblock or a line of traffic ahead. You then
have to choose how much of the route ahead you want to avoid.
Choose from the different options: 100m, 500m, 2000m, 5000m. Your XL
will recalculate your route avoiding the section of the route for the distance
you selected.
Don’t forget that once a new route is calculated, you may have to turn off
the road you are on very soon.
If the roadblock suddenly clears, tap Recalculate original to return to your
original route.
12
Travel via...
Tap this button to change your route so that it passes a particular location,
perhaps to pick someone up on the way.
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, Favorite, Point of Interest and Point on map.
Your XL will calculate a new route to your destination that passes the
location you chose. Unlike your final destination, your XL does not inform
you when you pass by this location.
Using this button, you can only travel via one location. If you want to pass
more than one, use an Itinerary.
Recalculate
original
Tap this button to return to the original route without deviations to avoid
roadblocks or traveling via particular locations.
Avoid part of
route
Tap this button to avoid a part of the route. Use this button if you see that
your route includes a road or junction you don’t like, or which is well-
known for traffic problems.
You then choose the road you want to avoid from a list of the roads on your
route.
Minimize
delays
Tap this button to recalculate your route so that it avoids traffic problems as
much as possible. Your XL will check if there are any traffic problems on
your route and work out the best route to avoid the problems.
Note: This button is only available with TomTom Traffic enabled.

Help me! Help me! provides an easy way to navigate to emergency services centers and
other specialist services and contact them by phone.
For example, if you are involved in a car accident, you could use Help me! to
call the nearest hospital and tell them your exact location.
How do I use Help me! to call a local service?

Itinerary Planning
What is an Itinerary?
An Itinerary is a plan for a trip including more locations than your final
destination.
An Itinerary can include the following items:
• Destination - a location on your trip where you want to stop.
• Waypoint - a location on your trip you want to travel through without
stopping.
Here’s an example of an Itinerary:
When would I use an Itinerary?
You could use an Itinerary for trips such as:
• A road trip through a country with lots of stops.
• A two day car trip with an overnight stop.
• A short drive which passes by Points of Interest.
In all these examples you could tap Navigate to... for each place. However, if
you use an Itinerary, you can save time by planning everything in advance.
Creating an Itinerary
1. Tap the screen to bring up the main menu.
2. Tap Itinerary planning.
Destinations are shown using this symbol.
Waypoints are shown using this symbol.
28
3. Tap Add and select a location.
Tip: You can add items to your Itinerary in any order and rearrange the order
later.
Following an Itinerary
When you use an Itinerary to navigate, the route will be calculated to the first
destination on the Itinerary. Your TomTom XL calculates the remaining

TomTom Map Share13.
39
TomTom Map Share TomTom Map ShareTM is a free service that lets you make updates to your
map and if you want to, share those updates with other members of the
TomTom Map Share community.
If you find a street that has recently been blocked to traffic but was open
before, you can use Map Share to update your map and then share the update
with other Map Share members.
You can use Map Share to send and receive map updates during the first year
after the map’s release date. This means that one year after the release date,
you will no longer be able to send or receive map updates for that version of
the map - You will still be able to make updates to your own map for use on
your own device.
When you join the TomTom Map Share community you can keep your maps
up-to-date with the latest updates made by other Map Share community
members.
You choose the type of updates you want and each time you connect your
TomTom XL to TomTom HOME, the map is automatically updated.
Map updates
There are two types of map update:
• Updates that are immediately shown on the map. These include, changing
the traffic flow of a street, blocking or renaming a street and adding or
editing POIs.
This type of change is immediately shown on your own map. You can hide
these updates at any time in the Map Share preferences menu.
• Updates that are reported to TomTom but not shown immediately on your
map. These include, missing streets, errors in freeway entrances and exits
and missing roundabouts.
This type of update is investigated by TomTom and once verified, is included
in the next map release. These updates are therefore not shared with the Map
Share community.

Traffic Information using RDS-TMC
The Traffic Message Channel (TMC)

signal.
Tip: The TomTom RDS-TMC Traffic Receiver is included with some products
and available as an accessory for others. Visit tomtom.com for more
information.
The Traffic Message Channel (TMC) is not a TomTom Service. FM radio
stations in several countries broadcast TMC information as part of their
programming. TMC is also known as RDS-TMC traffic information.
Your TomTom navigation device uses this information to warn you about
traffic delays along your route and how you can avoid them.
Note: TomTom is not responsible for the availability or quality of traffic
information provided by TMC.
TMC is not available in all countries or regions. Visit tomtom.com to check if
it is available in your country or region.

2. Connect the Car Charger to the RDS-TMC Traffic Receiver and then plug the
Car Charger into your car’s cigarette lighter socket.

connected.
3. Place the transparent suction cup at the tip of the antenna firmly against the
upper left hand corner of your car windshield.
46
4. Then place the remaining suction cups along the edge of the windshield, as
shown, keeping the cable straight.

Important Safety Notices and Warnings
Global Positioning System
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite-based system that provides
location and timing information around the globe. GPS is operated and
controlled under the sole responsibility of the Government of the United
States of America, which is responsible for its availability and accuracy. Any
changes in GPS availability and accuracy, or in environmental conditions, may
impact the operation of your TomTom device. TomTom does not accept any
liability for the availability and accuracy of GPS.
Use with Care
Use of a TomTom device for navigation still means that you need to drive with
due care and attention.
Aircraft and Hospitals
Use of devices with an antenna is prohibited on most aircraft, in many
hospitals and in many other locations. A TomTom device must not be used in
these environments.
Taking care of your TomTom device
Do not leave your TomTom device or TomTom accessories on view when you
leave your car. They may become an easy target for thieves.
You can set a password for your device which must be entered every time you
start your device.
We recommend that you use the safety preferences on your TomTom device,
where available. The safety preferences are available in the Preferences menu.
Take care of your TomTom device and clean it correctly.
• Use a soft cloth to wipe the screen of your device; do not use any liquid
cleaners.
• If your device gets wet, dry it with a soft cloth.
• Do not open the casing of your device 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 device 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.

SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING DRIVING IN CALIFORNIA AND MINNESOTA
California Vehicle Code Section 26708 (a) (1) provides that “No persons shall
drive any motor vehicle with an object or material placed, displayed, installed,
affixed or applied upon the windshield or side or rear windows.” Drivers in
California should not use a suction mount on their windshield, side or rear
windows.
Note: this section of the California Vehicle Code applies to anyone driving in
California, not just California residents.
Minnesota State Legislature Statutes Section 169.71, subdivision 1, section 2
provides that “A person shall not drive or operate with any objects suspended
between the driver and the windshield other than sun visors and rearview
mirrors and electronic toll collection devices.”
Note: this Minnesota Stature applies to anyone driving in Minnesota, not just
Minnesota residents.
TomTom Inc. bears no responsibility for any fines, penalties or damage that
may be incurred by disregarding this notice. While driving in any state with
windshield mounting restrictions, TomTom recommends the use of the
supplied Adhesive Mounting Disk or its Alternative Mounting Kit, which
includes multiple options for mounting TomTom devices on the dashboard

which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation distance between the equipment and the receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.
• Consult an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user‘s authority to operate the equipment.
Important
This equipment was tested for FCC compliance under conditions that included
the use of shielded cables and connectors between it and the peripherals. It is
important that you use shielded cables and connectors to reduce the
possibility of causing radio and television interference. Shielded cables
suitable for the product range can be obtained from an authorised dealer. If
the user modifies the equipment or its peripherals in any way, and these
modifications are not approved by TomTom, the FCC may withdraw the user’s
right to operate the equipment. For customers in the USA, the following
booklet prepared by the Federal Communications Commission may be of
help: “How to Identify and Resolve Radio-TV Interference Problems”. This
