When you plan a route, your TomTom asks you if you need to arrive at a
particular time.

Your TomTom calculates your arrival time and shows you whether you will
arrive on time.
You can also use this information to work out when you need to leave. If your
TomTom shows that you will arrive 30 minutes early, you can wait and leave
in 30 minutes time, rather than arrive early.
Your arrival time is constantly recalculated during your trip. The status bar
shows whether you will arrive on time or if you are going to be late, as shown
below:
You will arrive 55 minutes before the arrival time you entered.
If the estimated arrival time is more than five minutes before
the time you entered, it is shown in green.
You will arrive 3 minutes before the arrival time you entered.
If the estimated arrival time is less than 5 minutes before the
time you entered, it is shown in yellow.

• Walking route - a route designed for making the trip on foot.
• Bicycle route - a route designed for making the trip on a bicycle.

4. Finding alternative routes
Finding alternative routes
Once you have planned a route, you may want to change something about the
route, without changing your destination.
Why change the route?
Maybe for one of these reasons:
• You can see a roadblock or a line of traffic ahead.
• You want to travel via a particular location, to pick someone up, stop for
lunch or fill up with gas.
• You want to avoid a difficult intersection or a road you don’t like.
Tap Find alternative... in the Main Menu to change the route that is
currently planned.
Then tap one of the options below.
Find alterna-
tive...
Tap this button to calculate an alternative to the route already planned.
Your TomTom will look for another route from your current location to your
destination.
Calculate
alternative
If you decide you would prefer to use the original route after all, tap
Recalculate original.
Why w ould I need to do this?
Apart from the roads near your position and near your destination, the new
route will use totally different roads to reach your destination. This is an
easy way of calculating a totally different route.
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.
Avoid
roadblock
Choose from the different options: 100m, 500m, 2000m, 5000m. Your
TomTom will recalculate 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 original to return to your
original route.

Tap this button to change your route so that it passes a particular location,
perhaps to pick someone up on the way.
You choose the location you want to pass in the same way as you choose a
destination. So you can select from all the same options: for example,
Address, Favorite, Point of Interest and Point on map.
Travel via...
Your TomTom will calculate a new route to your destination that passes the
location you chose. Unlike your final destination, your TomTom does not
inform you when you pass by this location.
Using this button, you can only travel via one location. If you want to pass
more than one, use an Itinerary.
Tap this button to return to the original route without deviations to avoid
roadblocks or traveling via particular locations.
Recalculate
original
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.
Avoid part of
route
You then choose the road you want to avoid from a list of the roads on your
route.
Tap this button to recalculate your route so that it avoids traffic problems as
much as possible. Your TomTom will check if there are any traffic problems
on your route and work out the best route to avoid the problems.
Minimize

9. TomTom Map Share
TomTom Map Share
TomTom Map ShareTM is a free service that lets you make updates to your
map and share those updates with other members of the TomTom Map Share
community.
If you find a street that has recently been blocked by traffic, you can use Map
Share to update your map and then share the update with other Map Share
members.
You can use Map Share to send and receive map updates during the first year
after the map’s release date. This means that one year after the release date,
you will no longer be able to send or receive map updates for that version of
the map. You will still be able to make your own map updates for use on your
device.
When you join the TomTom Map Share community you can keep your maps
up-to-date with the latest updates made by other Map Share community

changes in GPS availability and accuracy, or in environmental conditions, may
impact the operation of your TomTom device. TomTom does not accept any
liability for the availability and accuracy of GPS.
