Planning a route chapter.
For information about what you see on the device itself, go to:
The Driving View
View map
Traffic
Safety Cameras
Tip: There are also frequently asked questions (FAQs) at tomtom.com/support. Select your

Installing the Dock
Use the Dock to install your Blue&Me-TomTom 2 navigation device inside the car.
To attach the Dock, insert the base of the dock into the dash plug on the car dashboard or A-pillar.
To insert your navigation device into the dock, push the two small buttons on the bottom of the
dock to open the top bracket. Place the bottom of the device into the dock and then push the top
bracket of the dock down until it clicks into place.
To adjust the position of the device, unscrew the knob on the back of the device to adjust the
position using the ball joint and secure it by tightening the knob.
To remove the navigation device, press the two small buttons on the bottom of the dock and lift
the navigation device out.
To release the dock from the dashboard, push the lower button on each side of the shaft and pull
out the dock.
Switching on and off
To switch on your navigation device manually, press and hold the On/Off button until you see the
start-up screen. The first time you switch on your navigation device, it may take a short time to
start.
Your Blue&Me-TomTom 2 navigation device starts automatically as soon as it is powered by the
dock.
To set up your navigation device you need to answer a few questions by tapping the screen. You
then need to connect your navigation device to Blue&Me in your car.
Note: Your dealer may have connected your navigation device to Blue&Me for you. If this is the
case, you can start using your device right away.
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 Blue&Me-TomTom 2 navigation device, the device may need a few
minutes to determine your GPS position and show your current position on the map. In the future,
your position will be found much faster, usually within a few seconds.
Read me first

10
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.
About MyDrive
MyDrive is a web-based tool that helps you manage the contents and services of your
Blue&Me-TomTom 2 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.
About MyDrive Connect
In order to use MyDrive, you need to install MyDrive Connect on your computer.
MyDrive Connect is an application that allows your navigation device to communicate with the
MyDrive website. MyDrive Connect needs to be running the entire time that your device is con-
nected to your computer.
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.

11
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.
Device not starting
In rare cases, your Blue&Me-TomTom 2 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 Blue&Me-TomTom 2 navigation device charges when you connect it to the
dock or to your computer.
The light on the On/Off button is orange while the battery is charging and is green when the
battery is fully charged.
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.

Take care of your navigation device
It is important to take care of your device:

12
Do not open the casing of your device under any circumstances. Doing so may be dangerous
and will void the warranty.
Wipe or dry the screen of your device using a soft cloth. Do not use any liquid cleaners.
Your device is not designed for use in extreme temperatures, and any such exposure may
cause permanent damage. Extended exposure to sunlight may lead to premature degradation
of battery performance.
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.

nected from Blue&Me, you see a confirmation message.
Pairing and connection

16
When your navigation device and your car have been paired, the Car Menu button appears in the
Main Menu of the navigation device.
From the Car Menu, you can access the functions specific to your Blue&Me-TomTom 2. The Car
Menu button changes depending on the model of your car and is updated whenever you connect
your device with a new car.
In the future, the connection is activated automatically each time the navigation device is switched
on and either the car key is switched to the "ignition on" position or the car engine is running.
In some instances, you may need to repeat the pairing procedure. Note that the PIN code will
change every time. To connect your Blue&Me-TomTom 2 device to a different car, you need to
carry out the complete pairing and connection procedure.
Note: If a connection problem occurs, tap Settings on the device. Then tap Reset factory set-
tings and repeat the pairing procedure.

17
You can synchronize some settings on your Blue&Me-TomTom 2 navigation device with your car
settings.
Settings that can be synchronized include language, time and units. You can also choose to use a
branded car symbol and start-up screen that matches your car.
When you first connect your navigation device to Blue&Me, automatic synchronization of settings
is switched on.
If synchronization is switched on, this happens every time you connect your navigation device to
Blue&Me and every time you change the car settings.
You can control the synchronization of individual properties in the Blue&Me Preferences menu.
Tip: To access the Blue&Me Preferences menu, tap Settings in the Main Menu. Tap Connec-

ever, if the navigation device is in the dock and switched on, you can access all the functions
through the navigation device, for example, answering incoming calls and calling POIs.
