Making commuting to work easier

The Home to work and Work to home buttons in the Traffic menu let you
check your route to and from work with one tap of a button. When you use
either of these buttons, your device checks the route for possible delays, and
if it finds any, provides you with the possibility to avoid them.
The first time you use Home to work, you must set your home and work loca-
tions for this feature by doing the following:
1. Tap the TomTom Traffic button in the Main Menu on your device.
2. Tap Show home-work traffic.

that you set in the Preferences menu and is shown in the Navigate to menu.

home-work traffic menu.
For example, to check for delays on your route home, do the following:
1. Tap TomTom Traffic in the Main Menu on your device.
