Preferences
You can change much of the look and feel of
your TomTom system to your own liking by using
the main menu option ‘Change preferences’
. Use to cycle through the different
pages of preferences. Here are some of the
most important ones (you’ll find the full set in the
manual on CD).
Tip: The icons shown for some preferences will change,
depending on the state the preference is currently in.
For example, choosing ‘Turn off sound’
disables
the voice instructions. Once disabled, the option and icon
change to ‘Turn on sound’
, reflecting the action to
take when it is next selected.
Use night colours
Bright colours are normally used in the maps so
that you can see them clearly even in sunlight.
When it is dark outside, you may want to use
the preference ‘Use night colours’
, to
show the map in (by default) dark and subdued
colours that will not interfere with your night
vision. You can use the preference ‘Use day
colours’
to revert to the original colour
scheme.
The default night colours, designed not to affect your
night vision.
