New: Improved Map display
Provides you with a better-than-ever overview.

shading, grass paths, and building footprints too, 
to help give you an even better feel for where 
you are.
New look & feel
The look & feel of the interface is new, fresh and 
modern: all-new graphics with rounded,  
3D buttons and enhanced graphic details.          

New: Speech recognition
Saying an address, to tell your device where 
to take you, is much easier than typing. New 
TomTom GO knows millions of names and 
understands you as you speak the city and  
street names.
Speech recognition is available in almost  
all European countries.

keyboard is displayed:
 
Just say the city, street name, house number and 
you’re away:

Bluetooth® mobile phone, your TomTom speaks  
to you,...

menu of short-cuts

Entering a correction
Here’s how TomTom owners can add changes, 
and share them too, if they wish, with the 
TomTom community:
Then choose the type of correction to make:
Map corrections:  
Blocking or unblocking a street
Occasionally a street gets blocked, for example 
because of road works. Tell this to TomTom GO, 
and routing will then avoid that street.       

Map corrections:  
Reversing traffic direction
Occasionally, with changes in one-way  
systems, the direction of traffic on a road can 
change. It’s simple to tell your TomTom GO  
of such a change:
Map corrections: Renaming a street
Similarly, if new roads are named, or old roads 
renamed, or a name is missing.
