Planning a route in advance

You can use your Blue&Me TomTom 2 to plan a route in advance, selecting your starting point and
your destination.
Here are some more reasons to plan a route in advance:

Find out how long a trip is going to take before you start.

You can also compare trip times for the same route at different times of the day or on different
days of the week. Your Blue&Me TomTom 2 uses IQ Routes when planning a route. IQ Routes
calculates routes based on the real average speeds measured on roads.

Study the route of a trip you are planning.

Check a route for someone who is coming to visit you and then explain the route to them in detail.
To plan a route in advance, follow these steps:
1. Tap the screen to bring up the Main menu.
2. Tap the arrow button to move to the next menu screen and tap Plan route.
This button is shown while there is no planned route on your Blue&Me TomTom 2.
3. Select the starting point for your trip in the same way that you would select your destination.
4. Set the destination for your trip.
5. If Planning settings are set to Ask me every time I plan, select the type of route you want to plan:

Fastest route - the route which takes the least time.

Eco route - the most fuel-efficient route for your trip.

Shortest route - 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.

Avoid highways - a route which avoids highways.

Walking route - a route designed for making the trip on foot.

Bicycle route - a route designed for making the trip on a bicycle.
6. Choose the date and time that you will make the trip you are planning.
Your Blue&Me TomTom 2 uses IQ Routes to work out the best possible route at that time. This is
useful to see how long a trip takes at different times of the day or on different days of the week.
