How to set up my gps tomtom
Hello, Pierre -
Apparently you do not have the user manual for your Tom Tom.
You have not stated the model name of your Tom Tom.
Therefore, all I can do is direct you to the Tom Tom home page:
https://ww
w.tomtom.com
On the home page, you should see the link to Support, located near the top of the page.
Click or tap on Support. You then should see the link to User Manuals. Click or tap on that link.
Then you will land on the User Manuals pages (more than one.) You will need to find the link for your model Tom Tom (look through the User Manuals pages), choose it, and follow the on-screen information to download the correct manual (probably a PDF document - Adobe Acrobat Reader software needed - free) and save it to your computer. Note: If you do not own a computer, ask a relative or friend if you can use their computer to download and print the manual. If you need to do that, I recommend you give the relative or friend a ream of printer paper as a "thank you." You may also wish to purchase a black printer ink cartridge (make sure you know the manufacturer and ink number used) as a "thank you" gift, as well.
Best wishes.

My tomtom is waiting for valid gps signal
As you probably know, the GPS device needs to get a satellite signal to determine its (your) location, before it can be used.
When the device is having difficulties getting that information, that message is displayed.
A common reason for not being able to get the signal is when there's physical barriers between the device and the satellites, e.g. when you're in a building, under certain covers where there's little/no line of sight between the device and the satellites.
Sometimes, even when this is not the case, the GPS has difficulties getting satellite signals.
So, getting an update (from the tomtom webiste) of the satellite locations can help. Just connect your GPS to the tomtom website, using tomtom HOME (the software), and get the QuickGPSfix update (a very small file) installed on your GPS device. It is suggested you update this data regularly ( as it provides a better location of the satellites, for the GPS device to search)
If you've already done that and the GPS still have problems locating the satellites, try to reboot the GPS. This can be done by holding down the ON/OFF button (for quite a while, e.g. 30 seconds or more) ... to shut the GPS down, and then turn it on again. Or, use a pin (e.g. paper clip) to press the "RESET" pin-hole, to turn it off, and start the GPS device up again.
Hope this helps.

I have a tomtom one europe 22 have a flashing white x in a red o
Usually an X on the screen indicates that your GPS (navigation) software is no good (corrupted, etc.).
If TomTom support is not able / willing to help you to download and install the navigation software, you're likely out of luck. If you are able to re-install the navigation software (& map) and you are still getting the X on the screen (of your TomTom device), it may mean that the (storage) memory on the TomTom device is faulty. You can try to connect your GPS to your computer and see if you can "repair" the TomTom (storage) memory (disk). That would usually just block off the bad areas, so that it will not be used. Then try downloading and installing the software and the map again.

How do i get verbal direction on my tomtom gps
Some TomTom GPS maps include verbal directions for use on certain TomTom models. If your GPS device has that capability, the map that you have on your device should be giving you verbal instructions.
If you don't hear any verbal instructions, check the volume and see if it needs to be turned up.

I have a tomtom one n14644 I would like to update it and im not sure how
The usual way to update your TomTom GPS is using the TomTom HOME software that you download and installed on your computer/laptop. Then set up your TomTom account (using the TomTom HOME application) and registered your TomTom device (in that account) on the TomTom webiste
After that, connect your TomTom device to your computer/laptop (using the USB cable). Turn on the TomTom device, and touch the YES icon (on your TomTom screen) if it asks whether you'd like to connect to the computer.
You should be able to see the updates available for your TomTom device (on the TomTom HOME application). Select the updates you want and (download and) install them.
Recently TomTom has stopped providing software/map updates and/or support for certain (older) models of their TomTom GPS. If you see such a notice when you register your TomTom device, your option is to get a newer GPS model (you may even get an offer on the TomTom HOME screen), or you can continue to use your device without updating the software and/or maps until it becomes unhelpful, unreliable, etc.

I have a tomtom go
When the TomTom navigation software is bad (corrupted, error) an X is shown on the screen ...
You'll want to try to recover the software from your backup (that you have made on your computer).
Otherwise, you'll need to connect your device to the HOME (or MyDrive Connect) software (on your computer/laptop) to see if you can re-install the software.

I have a tomtom 4n00.004.2 when I turn it on it shows the SD icon with a red x over it and it will not allow me to do anything else to it ..what does that mean
When the TomTom navigation software (on your SD card) is bad (corrupted, error) an X is shown on the screen ...
You'll want to try to recover the software from your backup (that you have made on your computer).
If you also have the TomTom navigation software on the main memory, try removing the SD card and start the GPS up again. If that works, you'll want to restore/re-install the copy of the navigation software on your SD card.
Otherwise, you'll need to connect your device to the HOME (or MyDrive Connect) software (on your computer/laptop) to see if you can re-install the software.
Recently, TomTom has decided to limit/stop support (including software/maps, etc.) for certain (older) models of TomTom GPS. If your model is one of those, you're out of luck. TomTom is trying to have you buy a new model.

- you have a TomTom account and have registered your TomTom device (in that account) on the TomTom webiste
- you are able to successfully plug your TomTom device to your computer/laptop, e.g. using the USB (cable or cradle)
- you can log into your TomTom account and have the TomTom software (HOME or MyDrive Connect) recognize your device (as being connected)
- you see the list of software/data/map updates available for your device
... and you still can't download the software/data/maps ... ? to update your TomTom device ... ?
Have you been able to get any help/support from the TomTom website ?
www.tomtom.com to do this ?

My Go 910 tomtom is frozen and will not go any further please help
If you can't turn it off (to re-boot it) by holding down the ON/OFF button for a while (e.g. 30 seconds or more) another option is to do a "hard reset" ... use a pin (e.g. paper clip) and push the reset (pin-hole) at the bottom of the device, to turn it off.
Then turn the device on again.
