1. What you see on the screen

1.1. The main screen

The main screen of TomTom Navigator is used to navigate to your destination. Your position is displayed on the map

using your GPS receiver. If your GPS receiver is switched off, or has not (yet) determined a clear position from the

GPS satellites, the main screen displays your last known position. To emphasize the fact that your actual position is

unknown, the screen is displayed in black and white.

The dark red path indicates the calculated route. The route instructions will guide you along this path to reach your

destination.

Your next driving instruction shows an arrow for the direction to follow and a distance indicator (presented in your

distance units preference) when to do it. The bottom of the screen shows the street name you will reach if you

follow the current driving instruction. If the "sound off" indicator is not shown, the displayed instruction will be

accompanied by voice instructions. If necessary, use the sound on preference to switch on the voice instructions.

To increase or decrease the scale of the map, tap to zoom in or to zoom out relative to your current position.

This keeps working when covered by the "next highway" indicator.

The journey information shows the current time, estimated time of arrival and the time remaining to reach your

destination.

Note:

When the battery is low, a "low battery" warning symbol will start blinking in the area where you normally see your

"current speed".

Ignoring the planned route

TomTom Navigator is very flexible. If you take a turn different from the one in the instruction (by mistake or on

purpose), TomTom Navigator will adjust almost instantly to the new situation. It will keep guiding you to your current

position as fast as it can calculate.

1.2. The menu

The menu opens when you tap approximately in the middle of the main screen. It provides access to all functions.

There are two pages. Use the button to cycle through the pages. You select an icon by tapping it. Until you take

your stylus or finger off the screen, icons and buttons are only highlighted, not yet selected.

When a menu option is not available, the icon is dimmed and cannot be selected.

rivers and lakes, points of interest (such as gas stations, restaurants and hospitals) etc.

1.5. The schematic view

Instead of the main screen, a much simpler, schematic design can be used to display driving instructions. Some

people prefer the simplicity of this "at-a-glance" schematic display.

You can switch to the schematic display using the turn off map display preference.

You can also set TomTom Navigator to hide the map only when you go faster than a certain speed.

2.2.1 Picking your HOME location

The main advantage of the HOME location is simply that you can select it with a single tap of your finger. It is

therefore useful to set it to the location that is most central in your travels, such as your home, your parking spot or

your office.

You can change your HOME location using the "change home location" preference.

If you don't specify a HOME position, the home icon in the location menu will remain dimmed.

2.2.2 Picking a favorite

Locations you travel to regularly (like family, friends, work address, important customers etc.) can be turned into

favorite locations.

If you have never turned a location into a favorite, the "favorite" icon in the location menu is dimmed. Otherwise, you

will be presented with a browser listing of all your favorite locations in alphabetical order:
