User manual TOMTOM NAVIGATOR 5 QUICK START GUIDE

[. . . ] Once the map has been activated, you can continue through the rest of the start up process. You can activate maps automatically using GPRS, or manually on a PC via our website. To activate your map you will need a product code, found on the TomTom Navigator product code (15 characters) found on the TomTom Navigator CD package. The screen will appear in black and white until your GPS receiver locates your current position. [. . . ] Studying this summary can be useful for you to get a feel for your journey's scope and to check if the route includes roads that you'd rather avoid (in which case, see `Finding alternative routes', below). Select `Done' and you'll find yourself back at the main navigation view, but with the route now clearly colored in for you. As you approach a specific turn in the calculated route, your chosen voice will tell you what to do. For example, "In 100 yards, turn left", followed by "Turn left". As you travel, following the voice instructions, you'll notice that the navigation view is updated constantly, always showing coming roads and junctions and presenting the best route to you. A new fastest route will be calculated automatically, based on your new position and direction of travel. Wherever you go, it will always give you instructions that will take you to your chosen destination. If you'd rather pick a crossing than a house number, just select the `Crossing' button or press the joystick. White arrow heads show the direction you need to move along the current road and a speciallyshaped green arrow shows what to do at the next turn or intersection. Much of the information on the main navigation view is configurable (see the `Preferences' section for details). 3 Configurable journey information including arrival time, time to destination and distance to destination.

If you miss a voice instruction, tap on the turn instruction in the bottom left hand corner ( 1 ), or press 7, 8, 9, 0, # or *, to generate a new one. And if you'd like to view the route summary again, tap anywhere in the journey information panel in the bottom right hand corner ( 2 , 3 or 7 ) or press the right soft key. Most of the time, the voice and turn instructions are all you need to navigate successfully, which means never having to look at the screen. At complicated junctions, where simple instructions aren't adequate, the navigation view comes into its own. A quick comparison between the screen and the world in front of you should be all you need. Or perhaps you really wanted to go `via' one particular location? ' you'll see it on the main menu , right next to `Navigate to. ' planned route goes past one particular location, perhaps to pick up or drop someone off. Or if you want to avoid a choose `Avoid roadblock' particular road junction, choose `Avoid part of route' . [. . . ] In addition to voice-guided satellite navigation, our optional TomTom PLUS service can give you real time information on traffic congestion, helping you route around it. In addition, there is current weather information for any location on your map, plus special downloads, including detailed city maps, extra voice files and extra POI databases. NOTE: To use TomTom PLUS, you need a GPRS-ready mobile phone with Bluetooth. If you already pick up email or browse the Internet on your phone, then it's probably already GPRS-ready; if you're not sure, ask your network provider. [. . . ]
