The following example shows how to plan a route to a car park in a city:
1. Tap Navigate to or Drive to in the Main menu.
2. Tap Point of Interest.
3. Tap POI in city.
Tip: The last POI you viewed on your TomTom Connect is also shown in the menu.
4. Enter the name of the town or city and select it when it is shown in the list.
5. Tap the arrow button to expand the list of POI categories.
Tip: If you already know the name of the POI you want to use, you can tap Search by name to
enter the name and select this location.
6. Scroll down the list and tap Car park.
7. The car park closest to your destination is shown at the top of the list.
8. The following list explains the distances shown next to each POI. How the distance is measured
varies depending on how you initially searched for the POI:
POI near you - distance from your current location

POI in city - distance from the city centre

POI near Home - distance from your Home location

POI along route - distance from your current location
