TomTom Navigation Manual

							11
Every time your TomTom navigation module starts, you are asked if you want to plan a 
route. If you tap Cancel, you are shown the Main Menu.
Using arrival times
When you plan a route, your TomTom navigation module asks you if you need to arrive 
at a particular time.
Tap YES to enter a preferred arrival time.
Your navigation module calculates your arrival time and shows you whether you will 
arrive on time.
You can also use this information to work out when you need to leave. If your navigation 
module shows that you will arrive 30 minutes early, you can wait and leave in 30 minutes 
time, rather than arrive early.
Your arrival time is constantly recalculated during your journey. The status bar shows 
whether you will arrive on time or if you are going to be late, as shown below:
Navigation menu options
When you tap Navigate to..., you can set your destination in many ways, not just by enter-
ing the address. The other options are listed below:You will arrive 55 minutes before the arrival time you entered.
If the estimated arrival time is more than five minutes before the time 
you entered, it is shown in green.
You will arrive 3 minutes before the arrival time you entered. 
If the estimated arrival time is less than 5 minutes before the time 
you entered, it is shown in yellow.
You will arrive 19 minutes late.
If the estimated arrival time is later than the time you entered, it is 
shown in red.

rent location, enter ’swimming pool’ and choose the best search 
result.

Planning a route in advance
You can use your TomTom navigation module 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 navigation module uses IQ Routes when planning a 
route. IQ Routes calculates routes based on the real average speeds measured on 
roads.
• Study the route of a journey you are planning.
• Check a route for someone who is coming to visit you and then explain the route to 
them in detail.
To plan a route in advance, follow these steps:
1. Tap the screen to bring up the Main menu.
2. Tap Plan route.

Change route menu
To change the current route or your destination, tap one of the following buttons:
Change route
Tap this button to change the current route.
This button is only shown while there is a planned route on your 
navigation module.
Calculate 
alternative
Tap this button to find an alternative to the current route. 
This button is only shown while there is a planned route on your 
navigation module.
This is a simple way to search for a different route to your current 
destination.
Your navigation module calculates a new route from your current 
location, to reach your destination using completely different roads.
The new route is shown next to the original route so that you can 
select the route you want to use.
Avoid roadblock
Tap this button while driving on a planned route, to avoid a road-
block or traffic congestion on the road ahead.
Your navigation module will suggest a new route which avoids the 
roads on your current route for the selected distance.
If the roadblock or traffic congestion suddenly clears, tap Recalcu-
late route to replan your original route.
Important: Be aware that when a new route is calculated, you might 
immediately be asked to turn off the current road. 
						

							20 Minimise delays
Tap this button to avoid traffic delays on a planned route.
It is not always possible to avoid all traffic delays. Your navigation 
module will check for traffic delays on your route and calculate the 
best route to avoid all or most of the delays.
Note: This button is only available when Traffic is enabled in the 
LIVE services menu. For more information about TomTom traffic 
information services, go to tomtom.com/services.
Change

Tap this button to change the current destination.
When you change the destination, you are shown the same options 
and asked to enter the new address in the same way as when you 
plan a new route.
Avoid part of

Tap this button to avoid part of the current route.
You are shown a list of the streetnames on your route. When you tap 
one of the streetnames, your navigation module calculates a detour 
to avoid the selected street. The route summary shows both the new 
route and your original route. Tap the panel on the right to select one 
of the routes and then tap Done.

want to travel past, maybe so you can meet someone on the way.

options and asked to enter the new address in the same way as 
when you plan a new route.
Your navigation module calculates the route to your destination via 
the selected location.
The selected location is shown on the map using a marker. You can 
only select one location to travel past on a route.
Unlike the warning which is given when you reach your destination, 
no warning is given when you travel past a marked location.
