Finding alternative routes

Once you have planned a route, you may want to change something about the route, with-

out changing your destination.
Reasons for changing a route
Maybe for one of these 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 road you don't like.

Tap Find alternative... in the Main Menu to change the route that is cur-
rently planned.
The Find alternative... button is also shown in the route summary
screen after you plan a route.
Tap this button to calculate an alternative to the route already
planned. Your Blue&Me-TomTom calculates another route, starting
from your current location.
After you tap Calculate alternative, the button name changes to
Recalculate original. If you later decide you want to travel along the
original route, tap Recalculate original.
Apart from the roads near your position and near your destination,
the new route will use totally different roads to reach your destina-
tion. This is an easy way of calculating a totally different route.
Tap this button if you can see a roadblock or a line of traffic ahead.
You then have to choose how much of the route ahead you want to
avoid.
Choose from the different options: 100m, 500m, 2000m, 5000m.
Your Blue&Me-TomTom will recalculate your route avoiding the sec-
tion of the route for the distance you selected.
Don't forget that once a new route is calculated, you may have to
turn off the road you are on very soon.
If the roadblock suddenly clears, tap Recalculate original to return to
your original route.
