Finding an alternative route

Once you have planned a route, you may want to change something about the route, without changing
your destination. You may want to do this for one or more of the following reasons:

You can see a roadblock or a line of traffic ahead.

You want to travel via a particular location to pick someone up, stop for lunch or fill up with petrol.

You want to avoid a difficult junction or a busy narrow street.

Planning a route in advance

You can use TomTom App to plan a route in advance by selecting your starting point and your
destination.
Here are some reasons why you might want to plan a route in advance:

Find out how long a journey is going to take before you start.
You can also compare journey times for the same route at different times of the day or on different
days of the week. TomTom App uses IQ Routes when planning a route. IQ Routes calculates
routes based on the real average speeds measured on roads.

Check the route of a journey you are planning.

Check a route for someone who is coming to visit you and share the route with them.
To plan a route in advance, do the following:
1. Tap the screen to open the Main menu.
2. Tap Advanced Planning.
3. Select the starting point for your journey in the same way that you would select your destination.
4. Set the destination for your journey.
5. Choose the type of route that should be planned.

Fastest - the route which takes the least time.

Eco Route - the most fuel-efficient route.

Shortest - the shortest distance between the locations you set. This may not be the quickest
route, especially if the shortest route is through a town or city.
