Calling a POI

Note: Hands-free calling is not supported on all devices.
Many of the POIs on your TomTom VIA include phone numbers. This means that if your device
supports hands-free calling, you can use your VIA to call the POI and plan a route to the location
of the POI. If your device doesn't support hands-free calling, you can still get the phone number of
POI from your TomTom navigation device and then call the POI using another phone or device.
For example, you can search for a cinema, call to book a ticket and plan a route to the cinema, and
all using your VIA.
1. Tap the phone button in the Driving view.
If the button is not visible in the Driving view, tap Make your own menu in the Settings menu
and select Call... to display the button in the Driving view.
2. Tap Point of Interest.
3. Select how you want to search for the POI.
For example, if you want to search for a POI on your route, tap POI along route.
4. Tap the type of POI you want to call.
For example, if you want to call a cinema to reserve a ticket, tap Cinema and then select the
name of the cinema you want to call. Then tap Call or Dial to make the phonecall.
Your VIA uses your mobile phone to call the POI.

Setting warnings for POIs

You can set a warning sound or message to be played or displayed when you approach a selected
type of POI, such as a petrol station.
