What’s on the screen?
Much of the information on the main navigation 
view is configurable (see the ‘Preferences’ 
chapter for details).
If you miss a voice instruction, tap on the turn 
instruction in the bottom left hand corner to 
generate a new one. And if you’d like to view the 
route summary again, tap anywhere in the jour-

Finding alternative routes
Perhaps a route has been planned that you’re 
not happy with? Perhaps you have been routed 
via a busy junction? Perhaps you have spotted 
roadworks up ahead? 
Or perhaps you really wanted to go ‘via’ one 
particular location? In each of these cases, ‘Find 
alternative...’ can help you. Again, you’ll 
see it on the main menu, right next to ‘Navigate 
to...’.
Which ‘Find alternative’ option you go for 
depends on why you’re dissatisfied with the first 
route.

is the function that you’ll use most often, there 
may be times when you want to plan ahead.

journey time between any two given locations or 
get directions that will help someone else get to 
your current position.

Manage POI
POI is an abbreviation you’ll see a lot, standing 
for ‘Point Of Interest’. Dozens of categories of 
POIs are built-in, from airports to petrol stations, 
from restaurants to theatres. Most importantly, 
POIs can be used as destinations, can be 
shown on the map and can even warn you of 
their proximity (for example, looking for a car 
park or petrol station while driving in a strange 
city).
You can choose which Points Of Interest catego-
ries you’re interested in by...

Connecting to your phone
Using GO 700 or GO 500

then you can use your TomTom GO 700 or GO

screen with a single tap of the screen. 
•  See that a new SMS message has arrived and 
read its contents, again with a single tap. 
•  Dial out, using contact details retrieved from
