Planning a route in advance
You can use your GO to plan a route in advance, selecting your starting point 
and your destination.
Here are some more reasons to plan a route in advance:
• Find out how long a journey is going to take before you start.
You can also compare journey times for  the same route at different times of 
the day or on different days of the week. Your TomTom GO uses IQ Routes 
when planning a route. IQ Routes calculates routes based on the real aver-
age speeds measured on roads.
