Welcome to navigation with TomTom
This User Manual explains all you need to know about your new TomTom GO BASIC.
To learn about getting started with your device and installing it in your vehicle, we recommend
that you read the Get going chapter.
After that, you will probably want to connect to TomTom services and you can read all about
that in the TomTom services chapter. To help you avoid traffic delays and get to your destination
quicker, you can use TomTom services even on the routes you drive every day.
Once you've had a look around your new TomTom GO, setup a Wi-Fi® connection and see if
any new updates are available to install. We're always improving our maps and software, so
check regularly for updates.
In Quick Search and Step by step search, you can read all about how you can search for
addresses, Points of Interest and Contacts. Both types of search give the same result, so choose
the type of search that you find easiest to use.
For information about what you see on the device itself, go to What's on the screen.
To plan your first route, go to Planning a route.
Tip: There are also frequently asked questions (FAQs) at tomtom.com/support. Select your

box:

Installing in your car
Your TomTom navigation device has an integrated mount. See the printed installation instructions
included with your product for more information.
1. Make sure that both the suction cup on your mount and your windscreen are clean and dry.
2. Press the suction cup of the mount firmly against the windscreen on an area where the glass is
flat.
Important: Place the mount so that it does not interfere with your view of the road or of any
of the controls in your car.
3. Turn the rubber grip near the base of the mount in a clockwise direction until you feel it lock
into place.
4. Plug the USB car charger into the power supply on your dashboard.
5. Connect the USB cable to the car charger and your TomTom device.
Your navigation device is now installed. The next step is to switch it on and answer a few set-up
questions.
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.
About MyTomTom
MyTomTom helps you manage the contents and services of your TomTom navigation device, as well
as giving you access to the TomTom community. You log in to MyTomTom on the TomTom website.
It is a good idea to frequently connect your navigation device to MyTomTom to ensure you always
have the latest updates and maps.

Tip: We recommend using a broadband internet connection whenever you connect your
navigation device to MyTomTom.
Setting up MyTomTom
To set up MyTomTom on your computer, do the following:
1. Connect your computer to the internet.
2. Start a browser and go to tomtom.com/getstarted.
3. You may have to select your country to continue.
4. Click Get Started.
5. On the left hand side, click Download MyTomTom.
Your browser downloads the MyTomTom support application, which you need to install on your
computer in order to connect your device to MyTomTom. Follow the instructions on the screen
if you are asked questions while downloading.
6. When prompted, connect your device to your computer using the USB cable. Then switch your
device on.
Important: 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.
Once the MyTomTom support application is installed, you can access MyTomTom from the
notification area on your desktop.
Tip: When you connect your navigation device to your computer, MyTomTom tells you if there
are any updates for your device.
Device not starting
In rare cases, your TomTom 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 TomTom device to the
car charger. It can take 3 - 5 hours to fully charge the battery depending on the type of device.
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.

9
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.
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.

10
Positioning the mount
Consider carefully where to attach the mount in your car. The mount 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 in the mount, you should be able to reach the device easily without
leaning or stretching. You can attach the mount to the windscreen or side window or you can use a
Dashboard Mount Disk to attach the mount to your dashboard. 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/en_in/products/accessories.
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.

Streets with similar names are shown in the list while you type.

8. When the new route is shown, tap Done.
For more information about the route, tap Details.

13
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.

14
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 then tap Route planning. Select Route types and then tap Ask me every
time I plan.
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.
Avoid motorways - a route which avoids motorways.
Walking route - a route designed for making the journey on foot.
Bicycle route - a route designed for making the journey on a bicycle.
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.
To select a new destination, tap Start-up in the Settings menu and select Ask for a destination.
Select a button to use for this destination and answer the questions about the destination.
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:

15
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 be asked the information sharing question each time you start the
device.
Every time your device starts, you are asked if you want to plan a route. If you tap Cancel, you are
shown the Driving View.
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.
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.
