Take care of your TomTom GO
Never leave your TomTom GO or accessories on view when you leave the car or they may become an easy target for thieves. You can set a password for your TomTom GO which must be entered every time you start your GO. For more information, see Using TomTom HOME (89). It is important to take care of your GO. Your GO is not designed for use in extreme temperatures and any such exposure may cause permanent damage. Do not open the casing of your GO under any circumstances. Doing so may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty. Wipe or dry the screen of your GO using a soft cloth. Do not use any liquid cleaners.

Driving View

Enhanced Positioning Technology
Note: Enhanced Positioning Technology is available on the TomTom GO 920 and 920T. Enhanced Positioning Technology or EPT estimates your location when GPS reception is poor, such as when you drive between tall buildings. Your GO uses positioning sensors to monitor your acceleration and direction and then estimates your current location. EPT only helps your GO to estimate your location. Calculating your precise location is only possible when your GO receives a strong GPS signal. When your GO is using EPT to estimate your location, the EPT icon is shown on the status bar. Your GO calibrates EPT automatically. If calibration is not complete when your GO loses GPS reception, EPT cannot be used and the screen is shown in grey, for example, when there is no GPS reception at the beginning of a journey.
A EPT icon. B Your current position.

Calibration

Calibration is done automatically and requires no interaction from you. However, it is useful to have basic understanding of the calibration procedure. Your TomTom GO resets the positioning sensors each time the device is switched on. To help improve accuracy in estimating your location, your GO calibrates the sensors throughout your journey. The following conditions are required for successful calibration: Your GO is receiving a strong GPS signal. The car has been stationary for at least 5 seconds and then travels along a straight and level section of road for at least one minute.

Arrival times

When you plan a route, your TomTom GO asks you if you need to arrive at a particular time. Tap YES to enter a preferred arrival time.

The status bar shows whether you will arrive on time or if you are going to be late, as shown below: You will arrive 55 minutes before the arrival time you entered. If the estimated arrival time is more than five minutes before the time you entered, it is shown in green. You will arrive 3 minutes before the arrival time you entered.

New: TomTom Map Share instant map updates from the TomTom Community
New roads are built. New one-way systems are installed. Junctions are altered. Roundabouts are created. Points of Interest (POIs) change. Of course, TomTom regularly issue updated versions of maps, to take these into account. Now, with TomTom Map Share, TomTom owners can keep route finding absolutely up-tothe-minute. TomTom Map Share lets you download and incorporate individual corrections to the maps that have been submitted by the community of TomTom users, and verified by TomTom. You can also make corrections of your own, if you ever need to and share them too, if you wish, with other TomTom users. Map improvements shared by TomTom Map Share users gets checked and verified by a team of TomTom specialists. You can decide to accept users changes before that verification process is complete, and if so which types of changes. You can also choose between six trust levels to determine which improvements will be downloaded onto your TomTom. Initially, this includes only those changes that were either made by you, or that have been checked and approved by TomTom, as Correction preferences shows.

Types of correction

TomTom users can make five kinds of map corrections directly into the device: blocking or unblocking a street, reversing the traffic correction on a street, editing the name of a street, adding a missing Point of Interest, and editing an existing Point of Interest. Corrections of other types, such as new roundabouts, missing streets or changed speed limits can also be recorded, and will be forwarded to TomTom by the TomTom HOME software. TomTom will then check the issue with the map provider, and approved changes will find their way into future map updates.

Heres how TomTom owners can add changes, and share them too, if they wish, with the TomTom community:
