When a faster route is available
If a faster route found while you are driving, TomTom Traffic can replan your journey to use the faster route. Select from the following options:
Always take the fastest route
Ask me so I can choose
Don't ask me
Always plan this type of route
The types of route you can choose from are as follows:
Fastest route - the fastest route to your destination. Your route is constantly checked taking into account the traffic conditions.
Shortest route - the shortest route to your destination. This may not be the fastest route, especially if the route is through a town or city.
Most eco-friendly route - the most fuel-efficient route.
Avoid motorways - this type of route avoids all motorways. (iOS only.)
Walking route - this type of route is optimised for walking. The route uses walking speed to calculate the estimated time of arrival and avoids or selects specific route features. For example, motorways are excluded, you can enter one-way streets from both directions, and the route includes pedestrian zones.
Bicycle route - this type of route is optimised for bicycles. The route uses cycling speed to calculate the estimated time of arrival and avoids or selects specific route features. For example, motorways are excluded.
Avoid on every route
You can choose to avoid the following features on your route:
Motorways. (Android only.)
Tunnels.
Ferries and car shuttle trains.
Toll roads.
Carpool lanes.
Unpaved roads.
Carpool lanes are sometimes known as High Occupancy Vehicle Lanes (HOV) and are not present in every country. To travel on these lanes, you may need to have more than one person in the vehicle, for example, or the vehicle may need to use environmentally-friendly fuel.
