Before you start3.

Before you start
Switching on and off
Install your TomTom ONE/XL navigation device in your car following the
instructions in the installation section at the start of this book.
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, it may
take a short time to start.
To set up your device you need to answer a few questions by tapping the
screen.
Device not starting
In rare cases, your TomTom ONE/XL navigation device may not start correctly
or may stop responding to your taps.
First, check that the battery is properly 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 for fifteen seconds and release the button when
your device begins to restart.
Charging your TomTom ONE/XL
Before you use your ONE/XL for the first time, it’s a good idea to charge it fully.
The battery in your TomTom ONE/XL navigation device charges when you
connect it to the car charger or to your computer.
There is no charging light on your ONE/XL. To check the battery status and see
when your ONE/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.
When you connect your device to a computer, you are asked if you want to
connect to the computer. If you select No and then do not tap the screen
within three minutes, the device will automatically switch off. This happens so
that the battery can charge faster.
Important: The USB cable should be plugged directly into a USB port on your
computer and not into a USB hub or a USB port on a keyboard or monitor.

7
GPS reception
When you first start your TomTom ONE/XL 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 reception of a strong GPS signal, you should use your device
outdoors. Large objects such as tall buildings can sometimes interfere with
reception.
Take care of your device
Never leave your TomTom ONE/XL navigation device or accessories on view
when you leave the car or they may become an easy target for thieves.
You can set a password for your device which must be entered every time you
start it.
It is important to take care of your device.
• Your device is not designed for use in extreme temperatures and any such
exposure may cause permanent damage.
• 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.

Safety
Positioning the dock
Consider carefully where to attach the dock in your car. The dock should not
block or interfere in any way with the following:
• Your view of the road
• Any of the controls in your car
• Any of your mirrors
• The airbag
You should be able to reach your navigation device easily when it is in the
dock without leaning or stretching. The diagrams show where you can safely
attach the dock.
You can attach the dock to the windshield, side window or use a Dashboard
Mount Disk to attach the dock to your dashboard. TomTom also offers
alternative mounting solutions for your TomTom navigation device. For more
information about Dashboard Mount Disks and alternative mounting
solutions, go to www.tomtom.com/accessories.
Installing the dock
Make sure that both the holder and your window are clean and dry.
1. Press the suction cup firmly against the window on an area where the glass
is flat.
2. Twist the base of the EasyPort holder in a clockwise direction to lock the
holder in place.
For detailed instructions, check the installation section at the start of this
manual.
Safety preferences
We recommend using the safety preferences to make your driving as safe as
possible. The safety preferences include, for example, the following options:
• Hide most menu options when driving
• Show safety reminders
• Warn when driving faster than allowed

Making your first journey5.

Making your first journey Planning a route with your TomTom ONE/XL navigation device is easy. To
plan a route, follow the steps below.
Important: For safety reasons, you should always plan a route before you
start your journey.
1. Tap the screen to bring up the Main Menu.
Note: The buttons on your navigation device 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.

10
Note: When planning a trip for the first time your navigation device 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 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 street name and tap on the street when it appears in the list.
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. Enter the house number and then tap Done.
8. Your navigation device asks if you need to arrive at a particular time. For this
exercise, tap NO.
The route is calculated by your device using IQ RoutesTM.
IQ Routes is used to plan the best possible route taking into account the real
average speeds measured on the roads.
9. When the route has been calculated, tap Done.
Your TomTom ONE/XL navigation device will immediately begin to guide you
to your destination, using both spoken instructions and on-screen directions.

11
Arrival times
When you plan a route, your TomTom ONE/XL asks you if you need to arrive
at a particular time.
Tap YES to enter a preferred arrival time.
Your ONE/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
ONE/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:
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.

12
Planning a route in advance
You can use your ONE/XL 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 trip is going to take before you start.
You can also compare trip times for the same route at different times of the
day or on different days of the week. Your TomTom ONE/XL uses IQ Routes
when planning a route. IQ Routes calculates routes based on the real
average speeds measured on roads.
• Study the route of a trip 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.
Favorite
Tap this button to select a Favorite 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).
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.
Position of

2. Tap the arrow button to move to the next menu screen and tap Prepare
route.
3. Select the starting point for your trip in the same way that you would select
your destination.
4. Set the destination for your trip.
5. Choose the type of route that should be planned.
•Fastest route - the route which takes the least time.
•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 freeways - a route which avoids freeways.
•Walking route - a route designed for making the trip on foot.
•Bicycle route - a route designed for making the trip on a bicycle.
•Limited speed - a route for a vehicle which can only be driven at a limited
speed. You have to specify the maximum speed.
6. Choose when you will make the trip you are planning. There are three
options:
•Now
•Specific date and time - you will be asked to enter the date and time.
•No specific date and time
If you select either Now or Specific date and time, your ONE/XL uses IQ
Routes to work out the best possible route at that time, using the real
average speeds measured on roads. In this way you can compare how long
a trip takes at different times of day, or on different days of the week.
7. Your TomTom ONE/XL plans the route between the two locations you
selected.

Advanced Lane Guidance
Advanced Lane Guidance
Your TomTom ONE/XL helps you prepare for highway exits and intersections
by showing you which lane you should be in.
Note: This information is not available for all intersections or in all countries.
For some exits and junctions, an image shows the turn and the lane you
should take.
To turn the images off, tap Hide lane images in the Preferences menu.
For other exits and intersections, your ONE/XL shows the lane you should take
in the Status bar. To turn this guidance off, tap Change preferences in the Main
Menu, then tap Status bar preferences. Clear the checkbox for Show lane
guidance.

Finding alternative routes8.
17
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.
The Find alternative... button is also shown in the route summary screen
after you plan a route.
Calculate
alternative
Tap this button to calculate an alternative to the route already planned.
Your ONE/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 ONE/
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.

18
Travel via...
Tap this button to change your route so that it passes a particular location,
perhaps to pick someone up on the way. When you do this, a marker is
shown on the map for the location you choose the travel over.
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 ONE/XL will calculate a new route to your destination that passes the
location you chose. Unlike your final destination, your ONE/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.
