Maps Maps
The digital maps form the basis of everything your TomTom product can do and many functions
make use of the map browser. This chapter explains how to move around in the browser and how to
use it to set up destinations and search for things.

Browse map

Browse map
Choose 'Browse map'
the same way as a paper map, i.e. with north 'upwards', and shows the usual cities, towns, major
roads, streets, railway lines, rivers and lakes. Unlike a paper map, you can zoom in and out and
vary the amount of detail shown. You can also overlay categories of Points Of Interest, Traffic
information (if subscribed) and personal elements such as favorite locations and
departure/destination points.
Note: The appearance of the map and its associated controls will differ slightly when using live Traffic
information (dimmed main colors, highlighted traffic delays). In addition, TomTom GO remote control or
TomTom MOBILE users will see just two buttons, 'Options' and 'Done'. In these cases, choosing
'Options' brings up extra controls, including 'Use cursor...' and 'Find'.
Scroll around a map by dragging it with your finger (TomTom GO users), stylus (Navigator users) or
by using your Navigator key (TomTom MOBILE users). Maps will usually be scaled for you, perhaps
to encompass a recently-calculated route or to show details of a particular junction, but you can
adjust the scale yourself if needed. If the zoom bar is showing, simply drag its handle
and down slowly. The map will be continuously zoomed in (when sliding down) and out (when
sliding up) around the current cursor position. If the zoom bar is absent (TomTom MOBILE users or
when TomTom GO is used with the optional remote control), press 'OK' to access the zoom
functions.
Tip: Only a 'blocky' preview map is shown while you're changing the zoom level. The moment you lift
your finger, the map is drawn properly in full detail.
