ningAbout Itineraries
An Itinerary is a plan for a journey including more locations than your final destination.
An Itinerary can include the following items:
• Destination - a location on your journey where you want to stop.
• Waypoint - a location on your journey where you want to travel through without stop-
ping.
Reasons for using an Itinerary
You could use an Itinerary for trips such as:
• A driving holiday through a country with lots of stops.
• A two day car journey with an overnight stop.
• A short drive which passes by Points of Interest.
In all these examples you could tap Navigate to... for each place. However, if you use an 
Itinerary, you can save time by planning everything in advance.
Creating an Itinerary
1. Tap the screen to bring up the Main Menu.
2. Tap Itinerary planning. Destinations are shown using this symbol.
Waypoints are shown using this symbol.

3. Tap Add and select a location.
Tip: You can add items to your Itinerary in any order and rearrange the order later.
Following an Itinerary
When you use an Itinerary to navigate, the route will be calculated to the first destination 
on the Itinerary. Your Blue&Me-TomTom calculates the remaining distance and time to the 
first destination and not for the whole Itinerary.
As soon as you start to use an Itinerary, the route is calculated from your current position. 
You do not need to set a departure point.
When you have passed a waypoint or reached a destination, it is marked as visited.
Waypoints are shown on the map. Your Blue&Me-TomTom will not warn you, when you 
are approaching a waypoint or when you arrive at a waypoint.

est hospital and tell them your exact location.

the centre about the precise details of your current location.
When you search for a service centre, you are shown a list of nearby locations. Select one 
of the centres in the list to view their address and phone number and your current location 
on the map.
If a phone is connected to your Blue&Me-TomTom, your Blue&Me-TomTom automatically

cally dials the phone number. If no phone is connected, the phone number is displayed 
for you to call.

along with a description of the location. This helps you explain where you are while

Favourites are places that you often visit. You can create Favourites so that you don’t have 
to enter the address every time you want to navigate there.
They don’t have to be places you especially like, just useful addresses.
How can I create a Favourite?
In the Main Menu, tap Add Favourite.
Select the type of the Favourite by tapping one of the buttons shown below in the table of 
menu options.
It is a good idea to give your Favourite a name that is easy to remember. However, your 
Blue&Me-TomTom will always suggest a name, usually the address of the Favourite. To 
enter a new name, there is no need to delete the suggested name, you just start typing.
Home
You can set your Home location as a Favourite.
Favourite
You cannot create a Favourite from another Favourite. This option 
will always be unavailable in this menu.

ing entry options.

Create a new Favourite by selecting a location from a list of your 
recent destinations.
