Getting started
Getting started
Switching on
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.
You can change these settings at any time using the the Preferences menu.
For information about the Preferences menu, see
Preferences on page 51.
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.
For more information about the Driving View, see Driving View on page 17.
Locating your current position
Your TomTom GO must be outside 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 faster, normally within a few
seconds.
Once your GO has located your current position, the Driving View is shown in
full color and shows your position on the map.
