1 TomTom app

2 1. Getting started Getting started To start the TomTom app, tap the icon in your iphone. The language used for buttons and menus in the TomTom app is the same as the language you selected in the iphone settings. Note: There are some languages that are not supported by the TomTom app. In this case, US English is used for buttons and menus in the application. Updating If you have a previous version of the TomTom app on your iphone or ipod touch, you need to update it. To do this, go to the Apple App Store and download your free update before continuing to read this guide. GPS reception The ipod touch and some models of the iphone do not include a GPS receiver. To use these devices for navigation, you need to use them with a GPS accessory, such as the TomTom car kit. The car kit includes a GPS receiver, a speaker for playing navigation instructions, and a microphone for making hands-free calls while you are driving. We recommend using the TomTom car kit with all iphones and the ipod touch. For more information, go to tomtom.com/iphone. When you first start the TomTom app, it may need a few minutes to determine your GPS position and show your current position on the map. To make sure you have good GPS reception, you should use your device outdoors. Large objects such as tall buildings can sometimes interfere with reception. Note: If your device has no GPS reception, TomTom app uses position information from WiFi networks or mobile phone towers. This information is used to find your approximate position and for route planning. TomTom app cannot give you route instructions until it has GPS reception. 2

3 2. Planning a route Planning a route Important: For safety reasons, always plan your route before you start your trip. Planning routes with the TomTom app is easy. To plan a route, follow the steps below. 1. Tap the screen to open the Main Menu. Note: When you start the TomTom app for the first time, the Main Menu is shown. 2. Tap Navigate To Tap Address. Note: When planning a trip for the first time the TomTom app asks you to choose a state or country. Your choice is saved and used for all routes you plan. You can change this setting at any time by tapping the country flag. To view the country flag, tap the button next to the search box. 4. Start to type the name of the place where you want to go. As you type, the names of the towns that match what you have typed are shown. When your destination appears in the list, tap the name of the town to set the destination. 5. Start to type the name of the street and select it when it is shown. Just as for place names, the names of the streets that match what you have typed are shown. When your destination appears in the list, tap the name of the street to set the destination. Tip: To show more search results and hide the keyboard, tap this button. This also shows the navigation bar so that you can return to the previous screen. 6. Now enter the house number of your destination and then tap Select. You can also select the point where two streets meet by tapping Crossing. The route is calculated. If available on your map, IQ Routes information is used to plan the best possible route taking into account the real average speeds measured on the roads. By default, the fastest route is planned. To set the type of route that should be planned by default, go to the Advanced settings in the Settings menu. 7. When the route has been calculated, tap Done. 3

4 The TomTom app immediately begins to guide you to your destination, using both spoken instructions and on-screen directions. Route summary After planning a route, you see a summary of your route. The route summary shows an overview map of your route and the total trip time including delays caused by both incidents and busy roads. You can see the route summary at any time by tapping the right side of the status bar. Other destination options When you tap Navigate To..., you can set your destination in many ways, not just by entering the address. The other options are listed below: Tap this button to navigate to your Home location. Home If you haven t set your Home location, you can do so by tapping Home. You can also set your Home location in the Settings menu. Tap this button to select a Favorite as your destination. Favorite Tap this button to enter an address as your destination.

Tap this button to select a point on the map as your destination using the Map Browser. Point on Map Finding alternative routes Once you have planned a route, you may want to change something about the route, without changing your destination. It could be for one of these reasons: You can see a roadblock or a line of traffic ahead. You want to travel via a particular location, to pick someone up, stop for lunch or fill up with gas. You want to avoid a difficult intersection or a road you don t like. To change your route, tap Find Alternative... in the Route Options menu. Find Alternative You can open the route options as follows: Tap Route Options in the Main Menu. Note: The Route Options button is only shown if you have planned a route. Tap Options on the Route Summary screen after you plan a route. Tap the right hand section of the status bar in the Driving View to open the Route Summary screen, then tap Options. Then select one of the following options: Tap this button to re-plan your route based on the latest traffic information.

6 Tap this button to calculate an alternative to the route already planned. Calculate Alternative The TomTom app looks for another route from your current location to your destination. If you decide you would prefer to use the original route after all, tap Recalculate Original. Apart from the roads near your position and near your destination, the new route uses totally different roads to reach your destination. This is an easy way of calculating a totally different route. Recalculate Original Avoid Roadblock Tap this button to return to the original route. This ignores any previous instructions you have given to avoid roadblocks or travel via a particular location. Tap this button if you can see a roadblock or a line of traffic ahead. You then have to choose how much of the route ahead you want to avoid. Choose from the different options available. The TomTom app recalculates your route avoiding the section of the route for the distance you selected. Don t forget that once a new route is calculated, you may have to turn off the road you are on very soon. If the roadblock suddenly clears, tap Recalculate Original to return to your original route. Travel Via... Tap this button to change your route so that it passes a particular location, perhaps to pick someone up on the way. When you do this, a marker is shown on the map for the location you choose to travel via. You choose the location you want to pass in the same way as you choose a destination. This means you can select from all the same options that are offered when you choose a destination, for example, Address, Favorite, Point of Interest and Point on Map. The TomTom app will calculate a new route to your destination that passes the location you chose. Unlike your final destination, the TomTom app does not inform you when you pass by this location. Avoid Part of Route Tap this button to avoid a part of the route. Use this button if you see that your route includes a road or junction you don t like, or which is well-known for traffic problems. You then choose the road you want to avoid from a list of the roads on your route. Planning a route in advance You can use the TomTom app to plan a route in advance, selecting your starting point and your destination. You could, for example, do the following: Find out how long a trip is going to take before you start. You can also compare trip times for the same route at different times of the day or on different days of the week. The TomTom app uses IQ Routes when planning a route. IQ Routes calculates routes based on the real average speeds measured on roads. 6

Tap the screen to bring up the main menu. 2. Tap Advanced Planning. Advanced Planning 3. Select the starting point for your trip in the same way that you would select your destination. 4. Set the destination for your trip. 5. Choose the type of route that should be planned. Fastest Route - the route which takes the least time. Shortest Route - the shortest distance between the locations you set. This may not be the quickest route, especially if the shortest route is through a town or city. Avoid Highways - a route which avoids highways. Walking Route - a route designed for making the trip on foot. Bicycle Route - a route designed for making the trip on a bicycle. Limited Speed - a route for a vehicle which can only be driven at a limited speed. You have to specify the maximum speed. 6. If IQ Routes is supported by your map, you can choose when you will make the journey you are planning. You can set the date and time in 5 minute intervals. The TomTom app uses IQ Routes to work out the best possible route at that time, using the real average speeds measured on roads. In this way you can compare how long a trip takes at different times of day, or on different days of the week. 7. The TomTom app plans the route between the two locations you selected. 7
