Switching on and off

Your Mazda NB1 switches on when your car engine starts and switches off automatically when

you turn off your car's engine.

Until a connection has been established between the main device and the Mazda NB1, the screen

shows audio-related information and the Navi button on the main display is inactive. In the case of

a cold boot of the navigation device, press the Navi button. A black screen is shown and it may

take up to 30 seconds for the main screen to appear.

Under extreme temperature conditions, the navigation device may not start. When the tempera-

ture is within the normal range again, the device should start. If the device fails to start automati-

cally in this situation, stop your car engine and start the car engine again.

Note: In some situations, your navigation system may restart when turning your key in the igni-

tion from ACC-ON to the engine start position. If this happens, it may take up to 30 seconds for

the main screen to appear on the navigation system.

Setting up

When you first switch on your device, you have to answer a few questions to set up the device.

Answer the questions by tapping the screen.

GPS reception

When you first start your Mazda NB1 navigation device, the device may need a few minutes to

determine your GPS position and show your current position on the map. In the future, your posi-

tion will be found much faster, usually within a few seconds.

In areas where GPS reception is not possible, such as tunnels, your location may not be accurate.

Important: The GPS antenna is located in the dashboard so do not put objects on the dashboard.

Device not starting

In rare cases, your TomTom navigation module may not start correctly or may stop responding to

your taps. For example, if the device temperature is too high or too low, the system shuts down.

In rare circumstances, you may need to reset your navigation device. To reset your device, switch

off the car engine and then remove the memory card. Re-insert the memory card and switch the

car engine on again.

Sharing information with TomTom

When you first start navigating or perform a reset, your device asks for permission to collect some

information about your use of the navigation device. The information is stored on the device until

we retrieve it. We use it anonymously to improve our products and services.

You can change whether you share this information with us at any time by doing the following:

1. In the Main Menu, tap Settings.

2. Tap Me and my device.

3. Tap My information.

4. Tap No to stop sharing or tap Yes to start sharing.

Additional information

Only if you give us your permission, your navigation device will continuously collect information.

The information is stored on your device until you connect it to your PC, then the information is

sent to TomTom and deleted from your device. The information includes details that identify the

navigation device, details about routes and locations and information entered while you were

using the navigation device.

Immediately after receiving this information, TomTom automatically and irreversibly destroys any

data that allows identification of you or your device. This, now anonymous, information is used to

improve TomTom’s products and services, such as maps, reports on Points of Interest and aver-

age speeds driven. These products and services are also used by government agencies and busi-

nesses.

Using your navigation device, you can join the MapShare Community or report speed cameras. If

you choose to use either of these services, your reports, that include location information and

your MyTomTom account name, are sent to TomTom and kept together with your MyTomTom

account. TomTom then uses your information to improve its maps and speed cameras.

If you no longer allow sharing of information, none of the above information is sent to TomTom

and information previously stored on your device is deleted.

TomTom will not give anyone else access to the information collected from your navigation de-

vice.

In choosing to provide TomTom with information you are helping to make driving better, specifi-

cally by improving maps, traffic flows and reducing congestion. We appreciate your help.

If you think that your information is not being used for the purpose for which you have provided it

to TomTom, contact us at tomtom.com/support.

See our privacy policy at tomtom.com/privacy.

Take care of your device

It is important to take care of your device as follows:

 Your device is not designed for use in extreme temperatures and any such exposure may

cause permanent damage.

8

 Do not open the casing of your device under any circumstances. Doing so may be dangerous

and will void the warranty.

Important: If you sell your car, you should remove all personal information from your navigation

device first. To remove your personal information, tap Settings and then tap Reset factory set-

tings.

9

About your memory card

A memory card is supplied with your navigation system. It includes a map of your country or

group of countries.

Updates are regularly produced by TomTom, particularly for maps and services like speed camer-

as. These updates are only available for download by inserting your navigation system's memory

card into a computer that is connected to the internet.

Once your new vehicle has been delivered, if a newer version of your map is available within 60

days of first using your navigation device, you can download this map for free.

Important: In order to qualify for the latest map guarantee you need to check if a new map is

available within the 60 day period, and you are only entitled to one free map download.

Inserting your memory card

To insert your memory card into your Mazda NB1 in your car, do the following:

1. Switch off the ignition in the car so that the navigation system is switched off.

2. Open the sliding door and insert the memory card, taking care to handle it carefully and that it

is the right way round.

Note: Only use your memory card for operating and updating your navigation system. Do not

insert the memory card into another vehicle or into any other device such as a camera.

Removing your memory card

To remove your memory card from your Mazda NB1 in your car, do the following:

1. Switch off the ignition in the car so that the navigation system is switched off.

2. Slide the door open and push gently on the memory card.

3. Remove the memory card, taking care to handle it carefully.

Some navigation devices contain a GSM/GPRS module which can interfere with electrical devices

such as cardiac pacemakers, hearing aids and aviation equipment.

Interference with these devices may endanger the health or life of you or others.

If your device includes a GSM/GPRS module, do not use it near unprotected electrical units or in

areas where the use of mobile telephones is prohibited, such as hospitals and aircraft.

Safety settings

We recommend using the safety settings to make your driving as safe as possible.

These are some of the options included in the safety settings:

 Show safety reminders

 Warn when driving faster than allowed

If your device supports voice commands, you can also drive more safely by using voice com-

mands to control your navigation device.

16

To change your route, for example, to travel via a particular location or to select a new destina-

tion, tap Change route.

Your device starts to guide you to your destination, using spoken instructions and on-screen di-

rections.

Route summary

The route summary shows an overview of your route, the remaining distance to your destination

and the remaining estimated trip time.

To view the route summary, tap the right-hand panel on the status bar in the Driving view or tap

View route in the Main Menu and then tap Show route summary.

If you have HD Traffic or an RDS-TMC receiver, the route summary also shows traffic information

about delays on your route.

Note: To use a TomTom traffic information service, you may need a subscription or a receiver.

Traffic services are not supported in all countries or regions. For more information, visit

tomtom.com/services.

17

Selecting a route type

Every time you plan a route, you can choose to be asked about the type of route you want to plan.

To do this, tap Settings followed by Route planning and then tap Ask me every time I plan.

The types of route you can choose from are as follows:

 Fastest route - the route which takes the least time.

 Eco route - the most fuel-efficient route for your trip.

 Shortest route - the shortest distance between the locations you set. This may not be the

quickest route, especially if the shortest route is through a town or city.

 Avoid highways - a route which avoids highways.

Using arrival times

When you plan a route, your Mazda NB1 asks you if you need to arrive at a particular time.

Tap YES to enter a preferred arrival time.

Your Mazda NB1 calculates your arrival time and shows you whether you will arrive on time.

You can also use this information to work out when you need to leave. If your Mazda NB1 shows

that you will arrive 30 minutes early, you can wait and leave in 30 minutes time, rather than arrive

early.

Your arrival time is constantly recalculated during your trip. The status bar shows whether you will

arrive on time or if you are going to be late.

Status bar

Tap Status bar in the Settings menu to enable or disable arrival time

notifications.

To enable arrival time notifications select Leeway.

Navigation menu options

When you tap Navigate to or Drive to, you can set your destination in many ways, not just by

entering the address. The other options are listed below:

18

Home

Tap this button to navigate to your Home location.

You will probably use this button more than any other.

Favorite

Tap this button to select a Favorite as your destination.

Address

Tap this button to enter an address as your destination.

Recent destination

Tap this button to select your destination from a list of places you have

recently used as destinations.

Point of Interest

Tap this button to navigate to a Point of Interest (POI).

Point on map

Tap this button to select a point on the map as your destination using the

map browser.

Latitude Longitude

Tap this button to enter a destination using latitude and longitude values.

Planning a route in advance

You can use your Mazda NB1 to plan a route in advance, selecting your starting point and your

destination.

Here are some more reasons to plan a route in advance:

 Find out how long a trip is going to take before you start.

 You can also compare trip times for the same route at different times of the day or on different

days of the week. Your Mazda NB1 uses IQ Routes when planning a route. IQ Routes calcu-

lates routes based on the real average speeds measured on roads.

 Study the route of a trip you are planning.

19

 Check a route for someone who is coming to visit you and then explain the route to them in

detail.

To plan a route in advance, follow these steps:

1. Tap the screen to bring up the Main menu.

2. Tap the arrow button to move to the next menu screen and tap Plan route.

This button is shown while there is no planned route on your Mazda NB1.

3. Select the starting point for your trip in the same way that you would select your destination.

4. Set the destination for your trip.

5. If Route planning settings are set to Ask me every time I plan, select the type of route you

want to plan:

 Fastest route - the route which takes the least time.

 Eco route - the most fuel-efficient route for your trip.

 Shortest route - the shortest distance between the locations you set. This may not be the

quickest route, especially if the shortest route is through a town or city.

 Avoid highways - a route which avoids highways.

6. Choose the date and time that you will make the trip you are planning.

Your Mazda NB1 uses IQ Routes to work out the best possible route at that time. This is useful to

see how long a trip takes at different times of the day or on different days of the week.

Your Mazda NB1 plans the route between the two locations you selected.

Viewing route information

You can access these options for the route you last planned by tapping View route in the Main

Menu or the Details button on the route summary screen.

You can then select from the following options:

Show instructions

Tap this button for a list of all the turn instructions on the route.

This is very useful if you need to explain a route to someone else.

Show map of route

Tap this button to see an overview of the route using the map browser.

20

Show route demo

Tap this button to watch a demo of the trip. You can interrupt the demo

at any time by tapping the screen.

Show route sum-

mary

Tap this button to open the route summary screen.

Show destination

Tap this button to see a preview of your destination.

You can navigate to a parking lot near your destination, and view any

available information about your destination, for example, the phone

number.
