New: Improved Map display
Provides you with a better-than-ever overview. 
Map display now has rounded status bars, 
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. 
Or tap the “speech input” button when a  
keyboard is displayed:
 
Just say the city, street name, house number and 
you’re away:
Now, when a text message arrives on your 
Bluetooth® mobile phone, your TomTom speaks  
to you, to ask:
“A new message was received; shall I read 
it aloud?” and if you say “Yes” - all without 
touching the TomTom screen at all - TomTom 
reads you the message, using text-to-speech 
technology.
In case of a traffic delay, You can say “yes” or 
“no” to answer a question like: 
“Traffic delay on your route now 18 minutes; 
shall I try to optimise?”          
						

							
New: Personalised “Quick”  
menu of short-cuts
Make TomTom even quicker and safer to use 
- select your favourite functions to appear on the 
new “Quick” menu. Now, when you’re driving, all 
your favourite features are just two taps away.
The new short-cut menu is available direct from 
the navigation menu. Choose which of your 
favourite features you’d like to have on it:
New: Country switcher
If your maps cover more than one country,  
then when you start entering a city name 
it only matches with city names from your 
country or state. So address entry is quicker, 
easier, mistake-free.
If you are heading for a different country, just tap 
the country button and switch country.
New: Battery saving options
New power-saving options mean you’ll always 
find TomTom GO ready to go when you are. 
New: You can turn off the display between 
instructions (for example when you are driving  
on a highway for the next 50 kilometres)
New: If connected to your PC but not in use, 
the TomTom turns off automatically after a few 
minutes, which extends battery life.      
						

							
Even better  
route finding
TomTom have developed new features. TomTom 
has developed a completely new patented 
technology to ensure you are always on the best 
route with the most up-to-date information at 
your fingertips. 
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-to-
the-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.
Accessing changes entered  
by other TomTom owners
Just tap to say you want to accept changes 
entered by others:
You only need to install this once, but you can 
change the settings at any time.
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.    
						

							
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.
