Wind-
ing 
roadsAbout winding roads
The winding roads feature is for planning a route that avoids unnecessary motorways and 
includes winding roads, with the aim of making the route a fun and entertaining ride. When 
planning the route, your TomTom Rider tries to guide you out of the city as quickly as pos-
sible.
Switching on winding roads
1. Tap the screen to bring up the Main Menu.
2. Tap Options.
3. Tap Planning preferences.
4. Select Ask me each time I plan or select Always plan winding roads if you know you 
will always want winding roads for every route.
5. Tap Done until you see the Winding road preferences screen. 
Some locations in the world have a lot of winding roads, others have very few due to 
larger populations or lots of cities. If you think that the winding roads suggested in your 
area are too winding or not winding enough, you can change the relative amounts of 
different types of roads in your route. 
Move the slider to choose the extent to which minor or major roads are part of your 
route. Move the slider to the left to choose more winding roads.
Planning a route with winding roads
1. Tap the screen to open the Main Menu.
Planning 
preferences
The first screen of planning preferences opens.

2. Tap Plan route.
3. Choose your destination.
4. When asked to choose which type of route to plan, tap Winding roads.
5. Choose your departure time. 
Your TomTom Rider plans a route which is more fun to drive than either the fastest or 
shortest routes.
Tip: If you are not happy with the selected route, tap Show another in the Route Summary 
screen to quickly see an alternative route.
Winding roads and itineraries
You can also use the winding roads feature in combination with the itinerary planner.
There are two methods for using winding roads with itineraries. The first is to select just 
city centres and a route is planned bypassing those cities but using them as a guide. For 
example:
1. City centre 1
2. City centre 2
3. City centre 3
4. Home location
The first method, as shown in the example above, calculates a route from your current 
position using the three city centres as a guide and finishes at your Home location.
The second method uses actual locations that you know you want to visit.
For more information, see Itinerary Planning.

ningAbout Itineraries
An Itinerary is a plan for a journey including more locations than your final destination.
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 stop-
ping.
Reasons for using an Itinerary
You could use an Itinerary for trips such as:
• A riding holiday through a country with lots of stops.
• A two day bike ride with an overnight stop.
• A short ride which passes by Points of Interest.
• A scenic route from a friend that you downloaded using HOME or the internet.
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. Destinations are shown using this symbol.
Waypoints are shown using this symbol.

Creating an Itinerary
1. Tap the screen to bring up the Main Menu.
2. Tap options.
3. Tap Itinerary planning.
4. 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 Rider calculates the remaining distance 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 current 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 Rider will not warn you, when you are approach-
ing a waypoint or when you arrive at a waypoint.
