Planning a route in advance
You can also use your TomTom to plan trips in advance by selecting both your
starting point and your destination. You could, for example, do the following:
• Find out how long a trip is going to take before you start.
• Check the route of a trip you are planning.
• Check a route for someone who is coming to visit you so you can explain
the route to them.
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 Prepare
route.
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. Choose the type of route that should be planned.
• Fastest route - the route which takes the least time.
• 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 freeways - a route which avoids freeways.
• Walking route - a route designed for making the trip on foot.
• Bicycle route - a route designed for making the trip on a bicycle.
• Limited speed - a route for a vehicle which can only be driven at a limited
speed. You have to specify the maximum speed.
6. Your TomTom plans the route between the two locations you selected.
