Why would I want to create my own POIs?
A POI acts like a shortcut - once you have saved a location as a POI you never 
have to type the address of that POI again. But when you create a POI you can 
save more than just the location.
• Phone number - when you create a POI, you can save a phone number with 
it.
• Categories - when you create a POI you have to put it in a category.
For example, you could create a category of POIs called ‘Favourite restau-
rants’. With each POI, save their phone number so that you can call them to 
reserve a table.
Note: You can report missing POIs or edit existing POIs using Map Share and 
share your corrections with the Map Share community.

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.
Destinations are shown using this symbol.
Waypoints are shown using this symbol.

2. Tap Itinerary planning.
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, the route will be calculated to the first 
destination on the Itinerary. Your TomTom ONE/XL/XXL calculates the 
remaining distance and time to the first destination and not for the whole Itin-
erary.
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 reached a destination, it is marked as 
visited.
Waypoints are shown on the map. Your ONE/XL/XXL will not warn you, when 
you are approaching a waypoint or when you arrive at a waypoint.

							Traffic information using RDS-TMC17.

Traffic information using RDS-TMC
The Traffic Message Channel (TMC)
You can receive traffic information on your TomTom ONE/XL/XXL using the 
TomTom RDS-TMC Traffic Receiver. The TMC transmits traffic information as 
a radio signal.
Tip: The TomTom RDS-TMC Traffic Receiver is included with some products 
and available as an accessory for others. Visit tomtom.com for more informa-
tion.
The Traffic Message Channel (TMC) is not a TomTom Service. FM radio sta-
tions in several countries broadcast TMC information as part of their program-
ming. TMC is also known as RDS-TMC traffic information.
Your TomTom navigation device uses this information to warn you about traf-
fic delays along your route and how you can avoid them.
Note: TomTom is not responsible for the availability or quality of traffic infor-
mation provided by TMC.
TMC is not available in all countries or regions. Visit tomtom.com to check if 
it is available in your country or region.
Using traffic information
To start using TMC, connect the TomTom RDS-TMC Traffic Receiver to the 
USB connector on your device.
Note: The RDS-TMC receiver does not work if the Car Charger is not con-
nected.
As soon as you start receiving traffic information, the traffic sidebar 
is shown on the right side of the Driving View. The traffic sidebar 
warns you about any traffic incidents on your route.
In this example, there is a traffic jam on your route 9 kilometres 
ahead that will cause an expected delay of 38 minutes.
These symbols are shown at the top of the traffic sidebar:
Your ONE/XL/XXL has the latest RDS-TMC traffic information.
Your ONE/XL/XXL is waiting to download the latest RDS-TMC traffic 
information as soon as it is available. 
Your ONE/XL/XXL is searching for a radio station that carries RDS-TMC 
traffic information.

To find the quickest route to your destination, do the following:
1. Tap the Traffic sidebar.
2. Tap Minimise traffic delays.
Your device looks for the quickest route to your destination.
The new route may also include traffic delays, or may even be the same 
route as before.
3. Tap Done.
Changing traffic preferences
1. Tap the TomTom Traffic button in the Main Menu on your device.
2. Tap Change Traffic preferences.
You can change the following preferences:

your device beeps when a new traffic incident occurs on your current 
route.
•Tune manually by entering a frequency - if you select this option, the but-
ton Tune manually is shown in the Traffic menu. Tap Tune manually to 
enter the frequency of a particular radio station you want to use for RDS-
TMC traffic information.
3. Select or clear the check box next to each preference you want to change.
4. Tap Done.
5. Select what should happen if the traffic situation changes when you are 
driving and a faster route is found. You can choose from these options:
•Always switch to that route  - your route will automatically be updated 
to the faster route.
•Ask me if I want that route - you are asked if you want to stay on your 
current route or switch to the faster route.
•Never change my route - your route is not changed and you are not 
asked if you want to change your route.
6. Tap Done.
Traffic incidents
Traffic incidents are displayed both on the Driving View and also on the Traffic 
sidebar as small symbols. There are two type of symbols:
• Symbols shown in a red square are traffic incidents. Your navigation device 
can replan to avoid them.
• Symbols shown in a red rectangle are weather related. Your device does 
not replan to avoid these warnings.
 Traffic incident symbols and their meaning are shown below:
