Calling a POI

Many of the POIs on your TomTom GO include phone numbers. This means you can use
your GO to call the POI and plan a route to the location of the POI.
For example, you can search for a restaurant that serves South-East Asian cuisine, call to
reserve a table and plan a route to the restaurant, and all using your GO.
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 GO uses your mobile phone to call the POI.
