3. Exploring TomTom GO

Most of the things you can do in TomTom GO start

with a tap on a menu option. This chapter covers

these options and explains how to use them.

Tap roughly in the middle of the 3D display to make

the options menu appear. In working through

chapter 2, you'll have already seen how to use

'Navigate to...', the first option, to navigate to

somewhere from your current (GPS) position. And,

having planned a route already, you'll see that the

remaining menu options are now available (i.e. no

longer greyed-out).

Let's look in detail at each of these main menu

options. As you saw in chapter 2, there are several

screens of options, just tap on the

cycle between them.

3.1 Navigate to...

This is the simplest and most useful starting point

in TomTom GO. Given your current GPS position,

you can use this to navigate to any given address,

crossing or Point Of Interest. Tap on 'Navigate

to...'

to display its own options screen.

If Tom Tom Go doesn't yet have a valid GPS signal,

it will display the message 'No valid GPS position'

Interest, although all calculations will be relative

to another point of your choice (such as your

home location).

Icons are shown for the five categories that

TomTom GO calulates that you use most often,

but if the one you now want isn't shown here then

tap on the

categories that are available.

Simply use the

and

buttons to scroll through

the list or tap a few letters of the required catego-

ry's name. When you see the one you want, just

tap on it, to display a list of all Points Of Interest in

that category, neatly sorted according to their

distance from your current position.
