How to plan your first route

Don't worry if some of the icons are 'greyed out',
this just indicates that these menu options aren't
available yet. E.g. as you haven't yet planned a
route then 'Find alternative...', '
View route' and 'Clear route' are all greyed out.
How to plan your first route
1. Move outside, if you haven't already done
so, so that the GPS hardware can locate
your position. This may take some time,
and will happen more quickly if you remain
stationary. The screen displays your current
position on its map, represented in a '3D'
navigation view, from a driver's perspective.
When you start moving, the navigation view
will match the streets outside as you would
see them through your windscreen.
Your position (and direction) is indicated by the
icon.
2. Bring up the main menu as explained previ-
ously. Use a few times to browse through
all the different things you can do, then
choose 'Navigate to...' to start plan-
ning your first route.
Remember that always means that there's
more to see on the next page, in this case
extra ways of choosing a destination.
3. Choose 'Address' . You'll see a
standard keyboard, used for entering place
names (e.g. towns, streets and favourite
locations). Above the keyboard is a small
browser window in which your TomTom GO
will present locations from its database.

4. The best way to see how your TomTom GO
works is to use it for real, so think of the
address that you want to visit and enter the
first few letters of the city, town or village.
Be as specific as possible. As you type, the
letters are compared to the built-in list of
possible names and any matches appear in
the browser window.
Quick-matching a town name. Use and to scroll
through other possible matches. If you make a mistake,
use to delete the last letter entered.
5. When you see the name of the place you
want, select it by tapping on the name. A
new browser window is now shown, this time
with the prompt 'Street:' at the top.
Again, start entering the road name of your
destination, selecting it when the full name
is shown among the matches.
6. A third and final keyboard and browser are
shown, this time for you to select a house
number. For some roads (such as those that
don't have house numbers), you'll be asked
to select a particular 'Crossing:' (i.e. an
intersection). Select a crossing, or enter the
house number and then choose 'Done'.
If you'd rather pick a crossing than a house number,
just select the 'Crossing' button.
