Switching on for the first time
Starting up
1. Refer to your installation poster for setup
instructions.
2. Follow the on-screen instructions, using your
finger on the touchscreen to select your
preferences.
Using TomTom GO
Note: Your TomTom GO does not transmit your location,
so others cannot use it to track you while driving.
TomTom GO starts by displaying the navigation
view. The screen will appear in black and white
until your TomTom GO locates your current
position. Once this is done, the navigation view
is shown in full colour. In future, your position
will be found much faster, normally within a few
seconds. Everything on TomTom GO can be
accomplished easily using just your finger on the
touchscreen. Importantly, you can bring up the
main options menu by tapping your
finger somewhere in the middle of the screen.
Note: When you use the GO for the first time we advise
you to make a backup of your SD card using the backup
option on the CD.
As with many of the menus in TomTom GO, there
are more options than can be shown on one
screen. Try tapping on
a few times, to cycle
through all the different things you can do.
Note that this image of the main menu may vary per
model and region.
