Important Safety Notices and Warnings
1. Global Positioning System
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite-
based system that provides location and timing informa-
tion around the globe. GPS is operated and controlled
under the sole responsibility of the Government of the
United States of America, who are responsible for its
availability and accuracy. Any changes in GPS availa-
bility and accuracy, or in environmental conditions, may
impact the operation of your TomTom GO.
TomTom International B.V. cannot accept any liability for
the availability and accuracy of GPS.
2. Use with Care
Use of TomTom GO for navigation still means that you
need to drive with due care and attention.

Use of devices with an antenna is prohibited on most
aircraft, in many hospitals and in many other locations.
TomTom GO must not be used in these environments.
