For other exits and junctions, your XXL shows the lane you should take in the status bar. To turn this guidance off, tap Change preferences in the Main Menu, then tap Status bar preferences. Clear the checkbox for Show lane guidance.
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 dont like. Tap Find alternative. in the Main Menu to change the route that is currently planned.

Find alternative.

The Find alternative. button is also shown in the route summary screen after you plan a route. Tap this button to calculate an alternative to the route already planned. Your XXL will look for another route from your current location to your destination. If you decide you would prefer to use the original route after all, tap Recalculate original. Why would 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.

Calculate alternative

Avoid roadblock
Choose from the different options: 100m, 500m, 2000m, 5000m. Your XXL will recalculate your route avoiding the section of the route for the distance you selected. Dont 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. When you do this, a marker is shown on the map for the location you choose the travel over.

Travel via.

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. Your XXL will calculate a new route to your destination that passes the location you chose. Unlike your final destination, your XXL 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 dont like, or which is wellknown 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 XXL will check if there are any traffic problems on your route and work out the best route to avoid the problems.

Making a map correction

Important: For safety reasons, you should only mark a location when you are driving. Do not enter the full details of an error while you are driving. 1. Tap Map corrections in the Main Menu. 2. Tap Correct a map error.

But when you create a POI you can save more than just the location. Phone number - when you create a POI, you can save a phone number with it. Categories - when you create a POI you have to put it in a category. For example, you could create a category of POIs called Favorite restaurants. With each POI, save their phone number so that you can call them to reserve a table. Note: You can report missing POIs or edit existing POIs using Map Share and share your corrections with the Map Share community.

Charging your TomTom ONE/XL/XXL
Before you use your ONE/XL/XXL for the first time, its a good idea to charge it fully. The battery in your TomTom ONE/XL/XXL navigation device charges when you connect it to the car charger or to your computer. There is no charging light on your ONE/XL/XXL. To check the battery status and see when your ONE/XL/XXL is charging, switch on your device and tap the bottom right-hand corner of the screen in the Driving View. The battery status is shown on the next page. When you connect your device to a computer, you are asked if you want to connect to the computer. If you select No and then do not tap the screen within three minutes, the device will automatically switch off. This happens so that the battery can charge faster. Note: You should plug the USB connector directly into a USB port on your computer and not into a USB hub or USB port on a keyboard or monitor.

When you first start your TomTom ONE/XL/XXL navigation device, the device may need a few minutes to determine your GPS position and show your current position on the map. In future, your position will be found much faster, usually within a few seconds. To ensure good GPS reception, you should use your device outdoors. Large objects such as tall buildings can sometimes interfere with reception.

Take care of your device

Never leave your TomTom ONE/XL/XXL navigation device or accessories on view when you leave the car as they may become an easy target for thieves. You can set a password which must be entered every time you start your device. It is important to take care of your device. Your device is not designed for use in extreme temperatures and any such exposure may cause permanent damage. Do not open the casing of your device under any circumstances. Doing so may be dangerous and will invalidate the warranty. Wipe or dry the screen of your device using a soft cloth. Do not use any liquid cleaners.
