Finally, if you want an alternative route because

you simply don't like the original, tap on 'Calculate

alternative' . As far as possible, TomTom GO

tries to use a totally different set of roads. Once

planned, an overview is shown, as usual, and you

can tap on 'Route' for detailed instructions or on

'Done' to switch back to the 3D view. In fact, you

can keep asking for alternative routes by using

this main menu option, until TomTom GO finally

displays the message 'No route possible'. Tap on

'Recalculate original' to return to TomTom

GO's original best route.

3.3 Clear route

Tap on the 'Clear route' icon if you'd like to

remove the currently planned route from all of

TomTom GO's views. From this moment on, your

position will still be tracked on the map, but no

instructions or guidance will be provided.

Note that you do not need to clear a route before

planning a new one: this happens automatically.

3.4 Plan from A to B

Although navigating from your current position is

the function that you'll use most often in TomTom

GO, there may be times when you want to plan

ahead, looking at the best route and journey

time between any two given locations or getting

directions that will help someone else get to your

current position.

Note that 'Plan from A to B' is found on the second

screen of menu options. You may need to tap on

in order to see it.

Tapping on 'Plan from A to B' pops up a

familiar options screen, this time asking where you

want to depart from (a question which obviously

wasn't needed when using 'Navigate to...')

Select your departure location in the usual way.

You'll then be asked to 'Pick a destination', again

with the usual choices. Once planned, the fastest

route is shown on a suitably scaled map. As with

'Navigate to...', described in section 3.1, you can

now tap on 'Route' to explore the detailed route

instructions or on 'Map' to zoom into and browse

round the relevant section of TomTom GO's

detailed maps (see chapter 4). Finally, tap on

'Done' to return to the main 3D view.

3.5 Add favourite

Although TomTom GO keeps track of your most

recently used locations and presents them as initial

choices in its town and street browsers, you'll find

it faster in the long run to create your own set of

favourite locations. A favourite can then be

selected as a departure point or destination with a

single tap. Tap on the 'Add favourite' icon to

display its options screen.

The 'Address', 'Recent destination' and 'Point Of

Interest' options are both familiar and obvious, just

select the one you want. 'GPS position' is very

useful when you want to quickly store your current

location. For example, because you are passing

something interesting and want to return there

later. Since you don't need to bother finding the

location by address, it is also one of the fastest

ways of adding a favourite.

Note that you don't have to travel, physically, to a

location in order to set it as a favourite! Instead, see

the map browser's 'Cursor functions' in section 4.4.

Once you have used one of the above options to

tell TomTom GO the location you want to mark, you

are prompted to 'Enter a name for this favourite'.

TomTom GO highlights a starting suggestion for the

name of this favourite (such as the name of the

road, Point Of Interest, etc.), but you'll almost

certainly want to tap in a name of your own. For

example, 'Mum and Dad', 'Bridges Renault dealer'

or 'Picnic rendezvous'. When you're happy with

the name, tap on 'Done'.

Note that the letters you tap in automatically

replace the highlighted suggestion. If you just

wish to add a letter or two to TomTom GO's

suggestion, first tap on the highlighted words

to remove the highlight.

If you haven't yet set a 'Home' location, TomTom

GO will ask you if you want to assign it to be the

same as this new favourite. Once you've set up a

'Home' location, you won't get asked this question

when adding favourites. For more on changing

your 'Home' location, see section 5.15.

3.6 Guided tour

You'll remember that you viewed a tutorial slide

show when you started TomTom GO for the first

time. You can view it again at any time by tapping

on the 'Guided tour' icon .

The slide show is in three parts, covering the main

interface, the main menu options/preferences and

the map browser.
