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 
restaurants’. With each POI, save the phone number so that you can call them 
from your XL to reserve a table.

Itinerary Planning
What is an Itinerary?
An Itinerary is a plan for a trip including more locations than your final 
destination.
An Itinerary can include the following items:
• Destination - a location on your trip where you want to stop.
• Waypoint - a location on your trip you want to travel through without 
stopping.
Here’s an example of an Itinerary:
When would I use an Itinerary?
You could use an Itinerary for trips such as:
• A road trip through a country with lots of stops.
• A two day car trip 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.

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 XL 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 XL will not warn you when you are 
approaching a waypoint or when you arrive at a waypoint.
