Making changes to your route

You can make changes to your planned route using the Change route menu.

Change route

You can open the route options as follows:

  • Tap Change route in the Main menu.

    Tip: Change route is only available when you have planned a route.

  • Tap Change route on the Route Summary screen after you plan a route.
  • Tap the distance panel on the right side of the Driving View to open the Route Summary screen, then tap Change route.


The following buttons are available in the Change route menu:

Clear route

Tap this button to clear the currently planned route.

Avoid roadblock

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 available. TomTom Nav App recalculates your route avoiding the section 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 route to return to your original route.

Calculate alternative

Tap this button to calculate an alternative to the current route.

Apart from the roads near your current position and near your destination, a new route is calculated using totally different roads to reach your destination. This is an easy way of planning a different route to the same destination.

TomTom Nav App looks for another route from your current location to your destination. When a route has been calculated you can tap Alternative route to use the new route, or tap Previous route to use the original route.

If you decide later that you would prefer to use the original route after all, use Recalculate route.

Travel via...

Tap this button to change your route so that it passes a particular location, perhaps to pick someone up on the way. You can add up to four extra stops along your route.

Avoid part of route

Tap this button to avoid a part of the route. Use this button if you see that your route includes a road or junction you don’t like, or which is well-known for traffic problems.

You then choose the road you want to avoid from a list of the roads on your route.
