Reset Tomtom Back To Factory Settings

The TomTom is a portable GPS for automobiles that assists the driver with navigational maps and driving instructions. If the TomTom freezes up or glitches, you can reset the system back to the factory settings. Users that have the 22 Range TomTom models such as the TomTom ONE and TomTom XL can hold down the power button to reset their system. However, the TomTom GO has a manual reset button on the device.








Instructions


1. Remove the TomTom GO from its cradle.


2. Turn the unit upside down.


3. Look for a small hole in the bottom of the unit. It will be located just behind the release button. The reset button is recessed inside this hole.


4. Straighten out one end of the paperclip.


5. Press the recessed button by inserting the straightened end of the paperclip into the reset hole.








6. Hold the button down for ten seconds, then pull the paperclip out of the hole. Your TomTom GO should now be reset back to the factory settings.
