Connect the USB cable to the car charger and your TomTom device. 4.
Micro-SD card slot Your TomTom GO navigation device has a micro-SD card slot that is located under a cover on the side of the device. You can insert a pre-installed memory card into the slot to add extra maps to your device. Pre-installed memory cards can be purchased from your TomTom retail store. About MyTomTom MyTomTom helps you manage the contents and services of your TomTom GO navigation device, as well as giving you access to the TomTom community. You log in to MyTomTom on the TomTom website.
Device not starting In rare cases, your TomTom GO navigation device may not start correctly or may stop responding to your taps. First, check that the battery is charged.

To do this, press and hold the On/Off button for 15 seconds and release the button when your device begins to restart.
Safety Positioning the mount Consider carefully where to attach the mount in your car. The mount should not block or interfere with any of the following: Your view of the road Any of the controls in your car Any of your mirrors Any airbags When your navigation device is in the mount, you should be able to reach the device easily without leaning or stretching. You can attach the mount to the windscreen or side window or you can use a Dashboard Mount Disk to attach the mount to your dashboard.

Route summary The route summary shows an overview of your route, the remaining distance to your destination and the remaining estimated journey time. To view the route summary, tap the right-hand panel on the status bar in the Driving view or tap View route in the Main menu and then tap Show route summary.

This is faster than planning a route in the normal way.
Using arrival times When you plan a route, your TomTom GO asks you if you need to arrive at a particular time. Tap YES to enter a preferred arrival time. Your GO calculates your arrival time and shows you whether you will arrive on time. You can also use this information to work out when you need to leave.
