How to charge tomtom xl330 gps for the first time ? Is it by using USB from a computer ?

There is not a reset button.

To reset - press and HOLD the power button for 15 seconds.

Hi,

Here's your fix!  Download the XL/XL330 series manual from this TomTom site.  It should give you more than enough info:

Good luck.  Thanks, Bill

 

When was the last time you updated the QuickFix of your TomTom? It helps your GPS to find the satellites.
Please, do the following:
1) Install "TomTom Home" software in your computer from www.tomtom.com
2) Start TomTom Home in your computer
3) Plug in the GPS dock to your computer's USB port and place the GPS on the dock. The green light on the bottom right of the GPS should turn ON to indicate that the GPS is getting power from the dock and charging
4) Start your GPS while being in the dock. If the GPS asks "do you want to connect to computer" answer "YES"
5) The TomTom Home software will detect the GPS and check if there are any updates for it. Then you'll be offered updates to install. Some are free, some are not. Be sure you choose to update "QuickFix".

Please, report back if you need further assistance

Tao the map screen tap preferances and continue to tap forward until set clock comes up and then just follow the instruction.

If it is plugged into the car, you use the DC charger. You can charge it using the usb port on your computer as well. In the accessories section of tomtom.com you will find an ac adaptor as well that can be purchased to charge it to an electrical outlet.

Go to Manage Favorites. Click the one you want removed and select DELETE at bottom of screen.

You can either charge in the car, or you can use the docking station (USB cable you connect with to use TomTom Home) to charge from your computer

Nope, just plug it in and go.

Hi Jill,

It all depends on your computer. The charging current via USB is limited by the computer. Some restrict this to 500mA, others (lap-tops mainly) to 200mA. If the TomTom is turned off, you should get the battery charged in 3 to 6 hours. With the unit on, it can take many times longer as the unit will take almost 200mA from the battery.

Yes, you can.
I presume the charger has an USB connector.
5v and 2A are the correct figures for a Go910.
