Switching On
Getting
started
Follow the instructions on the Installation
Poster to dock your TomTom GO in your car.
The first time you switch on your
TomTom GO, it may take up to 20 seconds to
start. To switch off your TomTom GO, press
and hold the On/Off button for 2 seconds.
Setting Up
You have to answer a few questions to set up
your TomTom GO. Answer the questions by
tapping the screen. You will use the
touchscreen for everything you do with your
GO.
Once you have answered the questions, your
GO will display the Driving View. The Driving
View is shown in black and white until your GO
locates your current position.
Locating Your Current Position
Your TomTom GO must be outdoors to locate
your current position. The first time you start
your GO, it can take up to 5 minutes to find
your current position. If it takes longer than 5
minutes, make sure that you are in an open
place without tall buildings or trees around
you.
In the future, your position will be found much
more quickly, normally within a few seconds.
Getting started
Once your GO has located your current
position, the Driving View is shown in full color
and shows your position on the map.
Finding Your Position Faster
To find your position faster, use the home
dock in combination with TomTom HOME on
your computer. When connected to the
Internet, TomTom HOME automatically
downloads information which helps your GO
locate your position faster.
For more information about GPS, see How
Does Navigation Work? on page 26.
Note: Your TomTom GO does not transmit your
position. You can, however, send your position to
TomTom Buddies. For more information, visit
www.tomtom.com/plus
Note: Some vehicles have a heat reflective shield
embedded in the windshield that may prevent
TomTom GO from locating your current position.
If this is a problem in your vehicle, use the
TomTom External Antenna Kit (available as an
accessory).
