Making your first journey
Planning a route with your TomTom ONE/XL/XXL navigation device is easy. To plan a route, follow the steps below. Important: For safety reasons, you should always plan a route before you start your journey. 1. Tap the screen to bring up the Main Menu. Note: The buttons on your navigation device are shown in full colour unless a button is currently unavailable. For example, the button named Find alternative in the Main Menu is not available until you have planned a route. 2. Tap Navigate to.

3. Tap Address.

When you enter an address, you can choose from the following options: City centre - tap this button to set your destination as the centre of a city or town. Street and house number - tap this button to set an exact address as your destination. Postcode - tap this button to enter a postcode as your destination.
Note: You can enter a postcode for any country. In some countries, postcodes are detailed enough to identify a house on their own. In other countries you can enter a postcode to identify a town or area. You will then have to enter a street and house number. Crossing or intersection - tap this button to set your destination as the point where two streets meet. In this example, we will enter an address. 4. Tap Street and house number.
Note: When planning a trip for the first time your navigation device asks you to choose a state or country. Your choice is saved and used for all routes you plan. You can change this setting at any time by tapping the flag. 5. Start to type the name of the town where you want to go.
As you type, the names of the towns that match what you have typed are shown. When your destination appears in the list, tap the name of the town to set the destination. 6. Start to type the street name. Tap the name when it is shown in the list. As with the name of the town, the names of the streets that match what you have typed are shown. When your destination appears in the list, tap the name of the street to set the destination. 7. Enter the house number and then tap Done.
8. Your navigation device asks if you need to arrive at a particular time. For this exercise, tap NO. The route is calculated by your device using IQ RoutesTM. IQ Routes is used to plan the best possible route using information about the average speeds measured on the roads. When the route has been calculated, tap Done. Your TomTom ONE/XL/XXL navigation device begins to guide you to your destination.

Advanced Lane Guidance

Your TomTom ONE/XL/XXL helps you prepare for motorway exits and junctions by showing you which lane you should be in. Note: This information is not available for all junctions or in all countries. For some exits and junctions, an image shows the lane you should be in. To turn the images off, tap Hide lane images in the Preferences menu.
For other exits and junctions, your ONE/XL/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 petrol. You want to avoid a difficult junction 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 ONE/XL/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 ONE/ XL/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 via.

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, Favourite, Point of Interest and Point on map. Your ONE/XL/XXL will calculate a new route to your destination that passes the location you chose. Unlike your final destination, your ONE/XL/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 travelling 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.

TomTom Map ShareTM

TomTom Map Share

With TomTom Map Share, you can correct errors on your map and share those corrections with other people in the TomTom Map Share community, as well as receiving corrections made by others.
If you find a street that has recently been blocked to traffic which was open before, you can use Map Share to correct your map and then share the correction with other Map Share members. You can use Map Share to send and receive map corrections during the first year after the maps release date. This means that one year after the release date, you will no longer be able to send or receive map corrections for that version of the map - You will still be able to make corrections to your own map for use on your own device. You choose the type of corrections you want and each time you connect your TomTom XL to TomTom HOME, the map is automatically updated. Note: TomTom Map Share is not available in all regions. For more information, go to tomtom.com/mapshare

Map corrections

There are two types of map correction: Corrections that are immediately shown on the map. These include, changing the traffic flow of a street, blocking or renaming a street and adding or editing POIs. This type of change is immediately shown on your own map. You can hide these corrections at any time in the Map Share preferences menu. Corrections that are reported to TomTom but not shown immediately on your map. These include, missing streets, errors in motorway entrances and exits and missing roundabouts. This type of correction is investigated by TomTom and once verified, is included in the next map release. These corrections are therefore not shared with the Map Share community.

Making a map correction
