Understanding Navigator
When TomTom Navigator starts up it will show the Navigation View. It displays your position
on the map; TomTom Navigator gets this position from your GPS receiver. If your GPS
receiver is switched off, or has not (yet) determined a clear position from the GPS satellites,
the Navigation View will indicate the GPS position as unreliable.

position is not known The Navigation View when your GPS position is known but no destination has
yet been provided
Your position is indicated by the sign.

Please note that:
A. The first time you use the GPS receiver, it may take up to 45 minutes before it can
provide a position.

reflecting windshield, place the GPS receiver behind the rear-view mirror or behind the
rear window, or use an external GPS antenna.

a name that sounds like the entered letters will be displayed in the list. Tap the city in

Start driving
Note: route planning will not start unless TomTom Navigator knows your current location –
which requires a valid GPS signal. If necessary, refer to your installation poster to find out
how to connect your GPS device.

Driving around

•Shows the next driving instruction: an arrow showing what to do, and
a distance indicating when to do it.

The lower right-hand corner shows your journey information:
the remaining time to the destination
the estimated arrival time
the remaining distance to the destination

deviate from the proposed route, TomTom Navigator will provide a new route within seconds.

Turn Sound OFF. In the Navigation View the icon in the lower left corner of the map
indicates that sound is turned off. To turn on sound, tap Turn Sound ON in the

Night and day colour scheme
Normally, TomTom Navigator uses bright colours so that you can see the map even in bright
sunlight. When it is dark outside, you may want to switch to night colours. The map will then
be displayed using subdued colours that will not interfere with your night vision.
In the navigation menu, tap Use Night Colours. To switch back to day colours, tap
Use Daylight Colours.
