How to plan your first route
4. The best way to see how your TomTom GO
works is to use it for real, so think of the
address that you want to visit and enter the
first few letters of the city, town or village.
Be as specific as possible. As you type, the
letters are compared to the built-in list of pos-
sible names and any matches appear in the
browser window.
Quick-matching a town name. Use and to scroll
through other possible matches. If you make a mistake,
use
to delete the last letter entered.
5. When you see the name of the place you
want, select it by tapping on the name. A new
browser window is now shown, this time with
the prompt ‘Street:’ at the top. Again, start
entering the road name of your destination,
selecting it when the full name is shown
among the matches.
6. A third and final keyboard and browser are
shown, this time for you to select a house
number. For some roads (such as those that
don’t have house numbers), you’ll be asked
to select a particular ‘Crossing:’ (i.e. an inter-
section). Select a crossing, or enter the house
number and then choose ‘Done’.
If you’d rather pick a crossing than a house number,
just select the ‘Crossing’ button.
