Manually
To activate a map manually, do the following:
1. Tap Manual.
2. Go to this website: www.ttcode.com
3. Follow the instructions on this page to get an activation code.
4. Enter the activation code on your device to activate the map.
Once you have answered the questions and activated your map, NAVIGATOR
displays the Driving View. The Driving View is shown in black and white until
NAVIGATOR locates your current position.
For more information about the Driving View, see Driving View on page 10.
Locating your current position
Your GPS receiver must be outdoors to locate your current position. The first
time you start NAVIGATOR, it can take up to 5 minutes to find your current
position. If it takes longer than 5 minutes, make sure that you are in an open
place without tall buildings or trees around you.
In the future, your position will be found much faster, normally within a few
seconds.
Once NAVIGATOR has located your current position, the Driving View is
shown in full color and shows your position on the map.
Backup TomTom NAVIGATOR
It’s always a good idea to make a backup of the contents of your memory card.
You can make a backup using TomTom HOME.
For more information about TomTom HOME, see Using TomTom HOME on
page 40.
Drive safely
Now you are ready to get going. When you start to use NAVIGATOR, make
sure you always drive safely by using the Safety preferences in the
Preferences menu.
You can choose to use the safety lock. If the safety lock is enabled, only a few
buttons and features are available while you are driving. When you are
stationary, all the buttons and features are available.
You can also choose to turn the map display off.
For more information, see Safety preferences on page 29.
Note: TomTom NAVIGATOR does not transmit your position. You can,
however, send your position to TomTom Buddies. For more information, visit

Note: Some vehicles have a heat reflective shield embedded in the
windshield that may prevent TomTom NAVIGATOR from locating your
current position. If this is a problem in your vehicle, try placing your GPS
receiver in your rear window.
