The easiest way to manage your maps, software and all your device content is over a Wi-Fi connection.
Tip:Alternatively you can use a USB connection to update using MyDrive Connect on your computer.
Select Settings in the Main Menu, then select Wi-Fi.
You see list of available Wi-Fi networks and saved Wi-Fi networks that are currently out of range.
Tip:Swipe down to go to the list of out-of-range saved networks. Select a network to Modify or Forget it.
Connecting to a Wi-Fi network
Important:Wi-Fi connections that require a web sign-in are not supported on the GO. These type of Wi-Fi connections are frequently found in public places, for example in hotels, shops and restaurants.
Select the Wi-Fi network you want to connect to. If the network is secure enter the password. If no password is required, you are connected straight away. Select Done, followed by Connect and you are connected!
When connected, you also see a Wi-Fi icon in the top right of the Main Menu.
If you select the Advanced options button, you can change a range of settings including network security, proxy and IP settings.
Depending on the type of Wi-Fi network, you may see just password, proxy and IP settings. A more secure network however has extra security settings such as:
Important:These are advanced Wi-Fi network security options so unless you fully understand what you are doing, please don't use these options.
A proxy is a server that sits between your computer and a server. The proxy server intercepts data and processes it. It can accept the data and pass it onto the server, reject it or handle it without it ever having to the reach the real server.
Your choices for proxy settings are None, Manual and Auto-config. Selecting Manual or Auto-Config reveals further advanced options so again, it is best not to use these unless you are sure of what these options mean.
You can choose to receive your IP address from a DHCP server or set it to be static.
When connected to a Wi-Fi network, select the network from the list and you can then Modify or Forget the network.
