and also predict destinations when you start the device from sleep mode, for example driving to 
Work in the morning.  
Switch on to receive destination suggestions or switch this feature off if you dont want destination 
suggestions.  
When a faster route is available 
If a faster route is found while you are driving, TomTom Traffic can replan your trip to use the 
faster route. Select from the following options: 
 Always take the fastest route 
 Ask me so I can choose 
  Dont ask me 
Always plan this type of route 
The types of route you can choose from are as follows:  
 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.  
 Most eco-friendly route - the most fuel-efficient route for your trip.  
 Winding route - the route with the most turns. 
Note: Winding routes are only available for TomTom Rider navigation devices. 
 Avoid interstate highways - this type of route avoids all highways. 
 Walking route - a route designed for making the trip on foot.  
 Bicycle route - a route designed for making the trip on a bicycle.  
Avoid on every route 
You can choose to avoid ferries and car shuttle trains, toll roads, carpool lanes, and unpaved roads. 
Set how your GO should manage each of these road features when the device calculates a route.  
Carpool lanes are sometimes known as High Occupancy Vehicle Lanes (HOV) and are not present in 
every country. To travel on these lanes, you may need to have more than one person in the car, for 
example, or the car may need to use environmentally-friendly fuel.

About MyDrive Connect 
MyDrive Connect is a desktop-based application that helps you manage the content and services of 
your TomTom GO. For example, you can use MyDrive Connect to get map and software updates or 
manage your MyTomTom account. 
It is a good idea to frequently connect your GO to MyDrive Connect to ensure you always have the 
latest updates. 
Tip: We recommend using a broadband internet connection whenever you connect your GO to 
MyDrive Connect. 
Tip: If you have a compatible navigation device, you can also use TomTom MyDrive to set a 
destination, share locations and favorites, and save your personal navigation information. 
 
MyTomTom account

You can create an account using your computer in one of the following ways: 
 By selecting the Create account button at tomtom.com. 
 By selecting the green MyTomTom button at tomtom.com.

Alternatively you can create an account using the TomTom MyDrive App for iOS or Android on your 
smartphone. To use this method, your device needs to be able to connect to TomTom services and 
you need a smartphone with a data plan from a mobile services provider. 
Important: Take care when choosing a country during account creation. The correct country is 
needed if you make a purchase from the TomTom shop, and it cannot be changed after the account 
has been created. 
Note: If you have more than one TomTom navigation device, you need a separate account for 
each device.

count.
