Planning a route in advance

You can use the TomTom app to plan a route in advance by selecting your starting point and your destination.

You can use advanced route planning to check a route or the time it will take, and you can add the route to your calendar and use it later.

To plan a route in advance, do the following:

  1. Tap the screen to open the Main menu.
  2. Tap Advanced Planning.

  3. Tap Departure and select the starting point for your journey in the same way that you would select your destination.
  4. Tap Destination and select the destination for your journey.
  5. If you want, tap Add Stops to add up to five Travel Via stops to your route.
  6. Choose the type of route that should be planned.
  7. Choose when you will make the journey you are planning. You can set the date and time in 5 minute intervals. If you want to add the route to your calendar choose a date in the future.

    The TomTom app uses IQ Routes to work out the best possible route at that time, using the real average speeds measured on roads. In this way you can compare how long a journey takes at different times of day, or on different days of the week.

  8. Tap Plan. The TomTom app plans the route between the two locations you selected.
  9. To add the route to your calendar, click Options then Add to My Calendar.
