Planning a route to a contact using search

Important: In the interest of safety and to avoid distractions while you are driving, you should always plan a route before you start driving.

Note: When you use TomTom GO Navigation app for the first time, there may be a short delay while the app finds all your contacts that have full addresses. The time taken depends on the number of contacts in your contacts app.

Note: You can only plan a route to a contact that has a full address which can be found on the map area installed on your device. The address must have a house number, a street and a city.

To plan a route to a contact in your smartphone's contacts app, do the following:

1. Tap the search bar at the top of the map, or select Search from the main menu.
2. Select the Contacts.
3. Use the keyboard to enter the name of the contact you want to plan a route to.

   As you type, suggestions based on what you have entered are shown. You can continue typing or select a suggestion.

   Tip: If you press and hold a letter key on the keyboard, you get access to extra characters if they are available. For example, press and hold the letter "e" to access characters 3 e è é ê ë and more.

   Tip: To see more results, hide the keyboard or scroll down the results list.
