Finding alternative routes4. 12 Finding alternative routesOnce you have planned a route, you may want to change something about the route, without changing your destination. Why change the route? Maybe for one of these reasons: • You can see a roadblock or a line of traffic ahead. • You want to travel via a particular location, to pick someone up, stop for lunch or fill up with petrol. • You want to avoid a difficult junction or a road you don’t like. Find alterna- tive... Ta p Find alternative... in the Main Menu to change the route that is currently planned. Then tap one of the options below. Calculate alternative Tap this button to calculate an alternative to the route already planned. Your NAVIGATOR will look for another route from your current location to your destination. If you decide you would prefer to use the original route after all, tap Recalculate original. Why would I need to do this? Apart from the roads near your position and near your destination, the new route will use totally different roads to reach your destination. This is an easy way of calculating a totally different route. Avoid roadblock Tap this button if you can see a roadblock or a line of traffic ahead. You then have to choose how much of the route ahead you want to avoid. Choose from the different options: 100m, 500m, 2000m, 5000m. Your NAVIGATOR will recalculate your route avoiding the section of the route for the distance you selected. Don’t forget that once a new route is calculated, you may have to turn off the road you are on very soon. If the roadblock suddenly clears, tap Recalculate original to return to your original route.
13 Travel via... Tap this button to change your route so that it passes a particular location, perhaps to pick someone up on the way. You choose the location you want to pass in the same way as you choose a destination. So you can select from all the same options: for example, Address, Favourite, Point of Interest and Point on map. Your NAVIGATOR will calculate a new route to your destination that passes the location you chose. Unlike your final destination, your NAVIGATOR does not inform you when you pass by this location. Using this button, you can only travel via one location. If you want to pass more than one, use an Itinerary. Recalculate original Tap this button to return to the original route without deviations to avoid roadblocks or travelling via particular locations. Avoid part of route Tap this button to avoid a part of the route. Use this button if you see that your route includes a road or junction you don’t like, or which is well- known for traffic problems. You then choose the road you want to avoid from a list of the roads on your route. Minimise delays Tap this button to recalculate your route so that it avoids traffic problems as much as possible. Your NAVIGATOR will check if there are any traffic problems on your route and work out the best route to avoid the problems. Note: This button is only available with TomTom Traffic enabled.

TomTom Map Share7. 19 TomTom Map ShareTomTom Map ShareTM is a free service that lets you make updates to your map and if you want to, share those updates with other members of the TomTom Map Share community. If you find a street that has recently been blocked to traffic which was open before, you can use Map Share to update your map and then share the update with other Map Share members. You can use Map Share to send and receive map updates during the first year after the map’s release date. This means that one year after the release date, you will no longer be able to send or receive map updates for that version of the map - You will still be able to make updates to your own map for use on your own device. When you join the TomTom Map Share community you can keep your maps up-to-date with the latest updates made by other Map Share community members. You choose the type of updates you want and each time you connect your TomTom NAVIGATOR to TomTom HOME, the map is automatically updated. TomTom Map Share community To join the Map Share community, do the following: 1. Tap Map corrections in the Main Menu. 2. Tap Download corrections made by others. 3. Tap Join. When you connect your TomTom NAVIGATOR to computer, TomTom HOME automatically downloads any available map updates and sends any changes you have made, to the Map Share community. Map updates There are two types of map update: • Updates that are immediately shown on the map. These include, changing the traffic flow of a street, blocking or renaming a street and adding or editing POIs. This type of change is immediately shown on your own map. You can hide these updates at any time in the Map Share preferences menu. • Updates that are reported to TomTom but not shown immediately on your map. These include, missing streets, errors in motorway entrances and exits and missing roundabouts.
20 This type of update is investigated by TomTom and once verified, is included in the next map release. These updates are therefore not shared with the Map Share community.

To report the change, tap the Report button and your NAVIGATOR will save your current location. You can then send the update to TomTom Map Share when you have finished your journey.
