About voice control 
Note: Voice control is not supported on all devices or in all languages.

control your GO. 
You can use voice control to control many of the navigation features on your GO, or to change 
settings. For example, you can change the screen to day colours, avoid a blocked road or decrease 
the volume just by using your voice. 
Voice control is active in the map view, the guidance view,...

You can help your GO understand what you are saying by following these tips:

 Reduce background noise such as voices or the radio. If there is excessive road noise, you may 
need to speak in the direction of the microphone. 
 Speak fluently and naturally as though speaking to a friend.

say the following words: 
 OK, Correct or Right instead of Yes when you want to confirm what you said. 
 Navigate to, Look for or Nearest instead of Drive to when you want to drive to a petrol 
station.

About Map Share 
You can report map changes using Map Share. These map changes are then shared with other 
TomTom device users when they receive a map update.

 Mark a location and create the change report later. 
Your map change reports are automatically sent to TomTom in real time or when you connect your 
device to MyDrive Connect using a USB connection. 
All map changes are...
