Route Planning

Select Settings in the Main Menu, then select Route Planning.

When a faster route is available

If a faster route is found while you are driving, TomTom Traffic can replan your trip 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 route which takes the least time.
• Shortest route - the shortest distance between the locations you set. This may not be the quickest route, especially if the shortest route is through a town or city.
• Most eco-friendly route - the most fuel-efficient route for your trip.
• Avoid interstate highways - this type of route avoids all highways.
• Walking route - a route designed for making the trip on foot.
• Bicycle route - a route designed for making the trip on a bicycle.

Avoid on every route

You can choose to avoid ferries and car shuttle trains, toll roads, carpool lanes, and unpaved roads. Set how your TomTom should manage each of these road features when the device calculates a route.

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 car, for example, or the car may need to use environmentally-friendly fuel.
