Getting Started

Start TomTom App

TomTom
Note: If your TomTom App supports Advanced voices in your language you are given the option to
download an Advanced voice when you start TomTom App for the first time. See
information.
TomTom App works the same on the iPhone, the iPod touch and the iPad. The iPad has a much
larger screen which means that menus appear on the Driving View instead of as full-screen menus.
See Driving View for more details.

Updating your TomTom App

If you have an old version of TomTom App on your Apple device, you must update to the latest version
of TomTom App before continuing to read this guide.
To download and update your Apple device with the latest version of TomTom App, go to the Apple
App Store.

GPS reception

The iPod touch, the iPad (Wi-Fi only models), and the original iPhone do not include a GPS
receiver. To use these devices for navigation, you need to connect them with a GPS accessory
device.
Note: Using a GPS accessory device can also improve the accuracy of GPS in other iPhone
models.
When you first start TomTom App, it may need a few minutes to find your GPS position and show your
current location on the map.
To make sure you have good GPS reception, you should use your device outdoors. Large objects
such as tall buildings can sometimes interfere with reception.
Important: TomTom App cannot give you route instructions until it has GPS reception.
If your device has no GPS reception, TomTom App uses positioning information from WiFi networks or
mobile phone towers. This information is used for route planning and to determine your approximate
location.
Tap this button on your iPhone, iPod or iPad to start TomTom App.
The language used for buttons and menus in TomTom App is the same as the
language you selected in your Apple device settings.
If a route is already planned TomTom App shows
navigation starts immediately. If no route is planned
