Note: From this point on the write-up will assume you are using the UK Speed Zoned option. All other options can be installed in the same way but you will see less files using the other downloads.

What are the other files?

3. Once you have decided on which database type you want press the "Download Database" button.

Once the download is complete:

You should now click the "Open" button.

4. This will open WinZip (if loaded onto your PC, if not The Windows operating system XP will open the file anyway.

Select all the files and press the "Extract" button at the top, where "Extract files from the archive" is highlighted in yellow on this screen capture.

You now need to specify where you actually want to place the files, the simplest way is to dock your TomTom-Go-910 to the PC switch it on and press connect to PC when prompted by the device.

It 1s now possible to expand the "Extract to" box, locate the icon with the image of the TomTom Go and expand it. In the image above this is drive (F: ), but note this drive letter will change dependent upon the number of drives fitted into the PC. Scroll down the contents of the TomTom device and click the folder Western_Central_Europe.

Press the "Extract" button, when this part is complete the files are loaded onto the TomTom device, from this point on the guide uses just the TomTom screen.

5. Please use the TomTom unit directly for this as the TomTom Home software on the PC only allows access to certain configuration options, to do the following un-dock the TomTom from the PC.

Fire up the unit but do not connect to the computer. It is possible to do this whilst powered from the PC but NOT controlled by it.

Tap the screen then select

"Change Preferences"

Here you can choose your preference for alert, you can if you wish use one of our .ogg file real voice packages available here or you can choose from one of the pre-installed beeps and boings by selecting 'Sound effect' or alternatively use the Text To Speech capability of the device by selecting 'Type in your own warning'.

Make your choice I recommend you use one of our real voice alert packages) and continue. The options available will differ dependent on what option you chose. At the end, you will see this screen:

The final set up screen:

If you select this and then use the device without setting a route you will get no warnings, setting it can reduce the number of "False" alarms, but not ticking the box is what you should do for simply driving around.

The choice is yours, personally I do not select this option and accept the odd false alarm.
