Your Blue&Me-TomTom 2 shows a list of towns which sound similar to what you said and tells 
you which town is at the top of the list. 
 
If the town you hear is the same as the town you requested then say, Done or OK or Yes 
or One or tap the town at the top of the list. 
If the town you hear is incorrect, but the correct town is in the list, say the number next to the 
correct town or tap the name of the town. 
For example, if the correct city is Rotterdam and this town is shown at the third item in the list, 
you can say, Three or tap the name, Rotterdam. 
If the name is not in the list, then say Back or No or tap Back to return to the previous 
screen and say the town again when you hear the tone. 
4. Say the streetname. 
Your Blue&Me-TomTom 2 shows a list of streetnames which sound similar to what you said 
and tells you which streetname is at the top of the list. 
If the streetname you hear is the same as the streetname you requested then say, Done or 
OK or Yes or One or tap the streetname at the top of the list. 
Tip: Different locations may have the same name, such as a road that spans multiple post-
codes. When this happens you need to look at the screen and tap the correct location. 
If the street name you hear is incorrect, but the correct streetname is in the list, say the num-
ber next to the correct streetname or tap the streetname in the list. 
If the streetname is not shown in the list, say Back or No or tap Back to return to the previ-
ous screen and then say the streetname again when you hear the tone. 
5. Say the house number. 
Important: Numbers need to been spoken in the same language as the button names and 
menus on your Blue&Me-TomTom 2. 
  
						

							42 
 
 
 
Numbers should be pronounced in the same way you normally say a number, in one contin-
uous sentence. So 357 is pronounced, Three hundred and fifty seven. 
If the number is shown correctly then say, Done or OK or tap the keyboard to enter the 
number. 
If the number is shown incorrectly then say, Back or No or tap the Backspace key and re-
peat the number. 
Tip: If you say, Back when there are no numbers on the screen, your Blue&Me-TomTom 2 
will return you to the previous screen. 
When the number is shown correctly say, Done or OK. Alternatively, enter the number by 
tapping the screen. 
6. When the route has been calculated and the route summary is shown, tap Done. 
Your Blue&Me-TomTom 2 starts to guide you to your destination, using spoken instructions and 
onscreen directions.
