6. Connecting to Your PC
To get the most from TomTom GO, you'll probably
want to link it to your PC, from where you can
backup (and restore) your Favourite locations and
preferences, and load on new maps. Locate the
USB data cable and plug the smaller end into the
back of TomTom GO. Plug the larger USB connec-
tor into a spare port on your Windows PC.
Note that while TomTom GO is connected to your
PC (Windows will recognise it as a 'Mass storage
device'), you won't be able to use it to look up
routes. Normal operation is restored as soon as
you disconnect from the PC.
Insert the TomTom GO installation CD into your
PC's CD/DVD drive and the Setup program should
launch automatically. If your PC is configured not
to run CDs automatically, use 'My Computer' (or
Windows Explorer) to browse to the TomTom GO
CD and then double-click on the file 'Setup'.
6.1 Adding and removing maps
When purchased, TomTom GO comes with a
256MB (or 128MB) SD card, preloaded with a set
of maps appropriate to your location. Use
'Add/remove maps' to remove any that you no
longer need, or to add others, if you have the
space. If you're planning to travel widely, you can
use an SD card of higher capacity, using this func-
tion to load highly detailed maps of more coun-
tries.
The 'Add/remove maps' screen will show you all
the maps that you purchased with your TomTom
GO. The option 'Other countries' will take you
online, to www.tomtom.com, for details of extra
countries and pricing options.
Note that, in addition to loading maps directly onto
your TomTom GO, there's the option to load them
to 'Other Location (Advanced)'. This should only
be used when wanting to copy large maps quickly
to a directly-connected SD card reader/writer.
6.2 Backing up
Select 'Backup/restore settings' to make a backup
copy of your Home and Favourite locations, plus
your TomTom GO Preferences. In the event of
trouble, all of these can be restored to your
TomTom GO, potentially saving you a lot of time
and effort setting things up again.
6.3 Voice prompts and more
You can add extra voice prompts (such as a
male/female voice, or even one in a different
language) by selecting 'Add/remove extra features'
and then 'Add a voice prompt', provided there is
room on your SD card. Use 'Remove a voice
prompt' to delete a voice that you don't want
anymore, to save space.
The option 'Install free demos, etc.' will take you
online, to www.tomtom.com, where extra
information will be posted.
6.4 Reinstalling TomTom GO's software
Select 'Install the application' to re-install the
main TomTom GO program onto an SD card. You
should only ever need to do this if you have
swapped cards, perhaps to use one of higher
capacity, or if TomTom support have sent you an
upgraded installation CD with a new version of the
program.
6.5 Other selections
The remaining selections, 'Read the manual',
'Visit www.tomtom.com' and 'Quit' are all self-
explanatory.
