Planning a Route

Planning a route
Important: In the interest of safety and to reduce distractions while you are driving, you should always
plan a route before you start driving.
To plan a route with TomTom App, do the following:
1. Tap the screen to open the Main menu.
2. Tap Navigate To....
3. Tap Address.
Tip: The first time you plan a route, you are asked to select a country, state or region. Your
selection is saved and used for all future routes until you change this setting.
You can change this setting by tapping the flag before you select a city.
4. Start to type the name of the town you want to go to.
As you type, the names of the towns that match what you have typed are shown. When your
destination appears in the list, tap the name of the town to set the destination.
Tip: For destinations in the UK and the Netherlands, you can also type in the postcode of your
destination. Select the postcode from the list shown to display a list of streets in that postcode.
5. Start to type the name of the street.
Just as for place names, the names of the streets that match what you have typed are shown.
When your destination appears in the list, tap the name of the street to set the destination.
Tip: The keyboard automatically hides when you scroll the search results. This allows you to see
more results on the screen.
6. Enter the house number and then tap Select.
You can also select the point where two streets meet by tapping Crossing.
The route is calculated.
By default, the fastest route is planned. You can change this setting in the Route Planning settings
menu.
If IQ Routes is available on your map, this information is used to plan the best possible route
taking into account the real average speeds measured on the roads.
7. When the new route is shown, tap Done.
