Starting the app

Starting the app for the first time

When you start the TomTom GO Navigation app for the first time, you'll see the following screens:

• Enable Location Services - You are asked if the app can use your current location. You must agree to this so that the app can find your location on the map.
• Tour — These screens show you the main features of the app.
• Your Information - You are asked if you want to send your information to TomTom. If you choose not to send your information, you can still plan routes, but you cannot use TomTom services. Select Yes to send your information.
• Download a Map — You are offered one or more maps that cover the area where you are currently located. Select Download to install the suggested map. You can download other maps at any time.

  Important: A map is a large file that can take a long time to download. To prevent high data charges we advise you to download a map using a Wi-Fi® connection. You must download at least one map before you can use the TomTom GO Navigation.

• The map view.

The app has been started before

If you have started the app before, you see the map view.

If the app was in the background, you see the last screen you were looking at.
