A POI acts like a shortcut - once you ha ve saved a location as a POI you never 
have to type the address of that POI ag ain. But when you create a POI you can 
save more than just the location.
• Phone number - when you create a PO I, you can save a phone number with 
it.

For example, you could create a category of POIs called ‘Favourite 
restaurants’. With each POI, save the phone number so that you can call them 
from your TomTom to reserve a table.

Itinerary Planning
What is an Itinerary?
An Itinerary is a plan for a trip including more locations than your final 
destination.
An Itinerary can include the following items:
• Destination - a location on your trip where you want to stop.
• Waypoint - a location on your trip you want to travel through without  stopping.
Here’s an example of an Itinerary:
When would I use an Itinerary?
You could use an Itinerary for trips such as:
• A road trip through a country with lots of stops.
• A two day car trip 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.

current position. You do not need to set a departure point.
