New: Traffic Receiver in the box, plus new traffic options
The new TomTom GO comes with a TMC receiver in the box1, for the simplest way possible to deal with 
traffic problems. It receives standard “TMC” traffic updates, which are broadcast at regular intervals 
“over the air”, rather like the traffic reports you hear on your car radio. Just plug it into your TomTom 
GO and traffic information is automatically shown and incorporated into your routing as it arrives. Your 
TomTom GO will calculate your new journey time and suggest alternative routes.
Traffic overview on side bar
This offers you loads of extra 
relevant information about your 
journey. See whereabouts on 
your journey any delays are 
likely to occur. 
Tap the traffic bar to access the traffic options
Heading: Traffic avoid options
Tap “Avoid”, and your TomTom GO calculates  
a new, faster route.
It even lets you choose to avoid all traffic 
congestion, if you prefer:
And if upcoming traffic delays increase 
significantly, your TomTom will notice and 
speak to you, to ask whether it should reroute 
to minimise the delay. Speech recognition 
technology means that you can just answer 
“Yes” or “No”, without touching the TomTom 
screen.

TomTom takes your safety as seriously as you 
do. The new TomTom GO is designed to be best 
in class for driver safety. Super-clear visual and 
spoken instructions mean that navigation is a 
calm and relaxing experience, and the following 
new features help further improve driver and 
road safety.
New: “Help me” menu of roadside 
assistance, local help, and safety 
information
In case of an emergency, the “Help Me” button 
on the main menu provides direct access to 
safety and road assistance information:
Instant traffic information,  
via your mobile phone
As an alternative to the TMC service, the 
“TomTom traffic service” sends premium 
traffic information to your TomTom GO via your 
Bluetooth® mobile phone, whenever you want 
it – meaning you can get the latest information 
when you’re setting out.
Even safer      
						

							
Help Me: Phone for help
There is a “Phone for help” button on the “Help 
Me” menu, as well as on the “Where am I” 
screen:
And while you are on the phone, TomTom GO 
shows your current location, in case you need to 
give it, and can navigate you from there to the 
nearest police station or hospital:
Help Me: Where Am I?
Shows where you are with graphics, coordinates 
and descriptive text. In an emergency situation 
this will help the people you are phoning find  
you more quickly.
It provides numbers for nearby facilities and 
Emergency Services. It also provides numbers 
for local roadside assistance in 18 European 
countries and Australia. Through ARC Transistance 
and Assist  TomTom has partnered with dozens 
of Roadside Assistance organisations such as the 
British AA breakdown, the Irish AA Rescue, the 
Dutch ANWB, the Italian ACI, the Luxembourgian 
ACL, the Portuguese ACP, the French ACTA, the 
German ADAC Pannenhilfe, the Finnish AL, the 
Danish FDM, the Swedish Motormännen, the 
Norwegian NAF Assistance, the Austrian ÖAMTC, 
the Spanish RACE Asistencia, the Polish Starter, 
the Belgian SOS Touring, the Swiss TCS, and the

New: Higher quality hands free phone calls
The new TomTom GO doubles as a hands-free 
car kit based on an all-new high quality sound 
system:
• High performance speaker:  
   improved  frequency response for best  
   combination of loudness and clarity
• Advanced noise reduction: new microphone  
   design filters out background noise

   between both parties

important call.

If you wish, TomTom will warn you when 
entering a country where you have to drive on 
the other side of the road. 
Even more fun
TomTom GO makes driving easier, quicker and 
safer than ever. The following new features also 
make driving even more fun:
New: Record your own spoken  
navigation instructions
Now you – or perhaps a friend, or loved one – can 
record the 56 voiced instructions, directly into the 
TomTom GO. “You have reached your destination, 
sweetie!”
New: Play your digital music over  
your car stereo
TomTom GO has an MP3 Player on board with 
up to 2GB of SD card storage, and transmits via 
FM to your car radio, so you can play your digital 
music over the car audio system.
You can also hear navigation instructions and 
hands-free phone calls over the stereo. If you’re 
playing music it will pause or go quiet to let you 
hear them. 
You can also connect an iPod® to TomTom GO, 
and control the playing of songs by tapping the 
TomTom GO screen.     
						

							
New: Rich POI descriptions

available for download via third parties. The 
new TomTom GO can display HTML, including

have much richer descriptions:

documents, meaning TomTom GO can be used as 
a digital guide book.
The Document Viewer lets you “zoom” too, to 
display the text at an easily readable size.
