Why should you reset your TomTom One?
Resetting your TomTom One can help resolve various issues such as freezing, unresponsiveness, and software glitches. It essentially acts like a reboot for the device, clearing out any temporary data or errors that may be causing the problem.
How to reset your TomTom One
- Step 1: Locate the Reset button
- Step 2: Press and hold the Reset button

Start by locating the Reset button on your TomTom One device. It is usually located on the bottom or the back of the unit.
Using a paperclip or a small pen tip, press and hold the Reset button for approximately 15 seconds. You will feel a slight click when the button is depressed.
After holding the button for the designated time, release it. Your TomTom One will now restart and go through the initialization process.
Once the device has restarted, you may need to go through the initial setup process. Follow the on-screen instructions to set the necessary preferences such as language, time zone, and voice guidance options.
