    Itinerary Planning
    What is an Itinerary?
    An Itinerary is a plan for a journey including more locations than your final des-
    tination.
    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 stopping.
    When would I use 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, th e route will be calculated to the first 
    destination on the Itinerary. Your TomTom GO calculates the remaining dis-
    tance 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 cur-
    rent position. You do not need to set a departure point.
    When you have passed a waypoint or reach ed a destination, it is marked as 
    visited.
    Waypoints are shown on the map. Your GO will not warn you, when you are 
    approaching a waypoint or when you arrive at a waypoint.
