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 this button in the Main Menu to change the currently planned 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. Your EASE recalculates 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 disappears while you are traveling, you can tap Recalculate original to recalculate your original route. After you tap Calculate alternative, the button name changes to Recalculate original. Tap this button to calculate an alternative to the route already planned. Your EASE calculates another route, starting from your current location.

Calculate alternative

After you tap Calculate alternative, the button name changes to Recalculate original. If you later decide you want to travel along the original route, tap Recalculate original. Apart from the roads near your position and near your destination, the new route uses totally different roads to reach your destination. This is an easy way of calculating a totally different route. Tap this button to replan your original route. This button is shown when you have changed your route by calculating an alternative.

Recalculate original

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 to 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, Favorite, Point of Interest and Point on map. Your EASE calculates a new route to your destination that passes the location you chose. Unlike your final destination, your EASE does not inform you when you pass by this location. Tap this button to plan a new route. When you plan a new route, the old one is deleted.
Tap this button to delete the current route.

Set clock

Tap this button to select the time format and to set the time. The easiest way to set the time is by tapping the Sync button. Your EASE will then take the time from GPS information. Note: You can only use Sync if you have GPS reception, so you cannot set the clock in this way when you are indoors. After using Sync to set the time, you may have to adjust the hours depending on your time zone. Your EASE works out your time zone and always keeps the time correct using GPS information.

Reset factory settings

Tap this button to restore the factory settings to your TomTom EASE. All your settings, including your Home location and any Favorites, are deleted.

Favorites

What are Favorites?

How can I create a Favorite?
From the Main Menu, tap options followed by Home and Favorites and then tap Add Favorite. You can then select the location of the Favorite from the list below. You can type your own name for the Favorite when the keyboard is shown. To enter the name, theres no need to delete the suggested name, just start typing. You can set your Home location as a Favorite.
You cannot create a Favorite from another Favorite. This option will always be unavailable in this menu.

Favorite

To rename a Favorite, tap Home and Favorites then Manage Favorites in the Options menu. You can specify an address to be a Favorite.

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 users. 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. Note: TomTom Map Share is not available in all regions. For more information, go to tomtom.com/mapshare.

There are two types of map corrections: 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. Corrections that are reported to TomTom but not shown immediately on your map. These include, missing streets, errors in highway entrances and exits and missing rotaries. 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

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 options in the Main Menu then tap Map corrections. 2. Tap Correct a map error.

Correct a map error
