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.

Important: If you are using a TomTom camper and caravan product, before planning a route you should set up your device for your vehicle.

To plan a route on your TomTom device, do the following:

  1. Tap the screen to open the Main Menu.

  2. Tap Navigate to or Drive to.
  3. Tap Address.

    You can change the country or state setting by tapping the flag before you select a city.

  4. Enter the town or city name, or the postcode.

    Tip: If your device supports voice control, instead of typing the address, tap the microphone button to enter the address by speaking to your TomTom device.

    Towns with similar names are shown in the list while you type.

    When the correct city or town appears in the list, tap the name to select the destination.

  5. Enter the street name.

    Streets with similar names are shown in the list while you type.

    When the correct street name appears in the list, tap the name to select the destination.

  6. Enter the house number, then tap Done.

  7. The location is shown on the map. Tap Select to continue or tap Back to enter another address.

    Important: If you are planning a caravan or camper route and no specific route can be found, you are asked if you want to use a car route instead. If you use a car route pay special attention to any route restrictions while driving.

    Tip: If you want your final destination to be a car park, tap Car park and select a location from the list of car parks close to your general destination.

  8. When the new route is shown, tap Done.

    For more information about the route, tap Details.

    To change your route, for example, to travel via a particular location or to select a new destination, tap Change route.

Your device starts to guide you to your destination, using spoken instructions and on-screen directions.
