Ask me so I can choose - you will be asked if you want to take the faster route. You can
manually select the faster route or you can select the route by steering towards it.
Don't ask me - your device will not find faster routes for you.
Always plan this type of route
The types of route you can choose from are as follows:
Fastest route - the route which takes the least time.
Shortest route - the shortest distance between the locations you set. This may not be the
quickest route, especially if the shortest route is through a town or city.
Most eco-friendly route - the most fuel-efficient route for your trip.
Winding route - the route with the most turns.
Note: Winding route is not available on all TomTom navigation devices or apps.
Avoid interstate highways - this type of route avoids all highways.
Walking route - a route designed for making the trip on foot.
Bicycle route - a route designed for making the trip on a bicycle.
Avoid on every route
You can choose to avoid ferries and car shuttle trains, toll roads, carpool lanes, unpaved roads, and
tunnels. Set how your TomTom Rider should manage each of these road features when the device
calculates a route.
Carpool lanes are sometimes known as High Occupancy Vehicle Lanes (HOV) and are not present in
every country. To travel on these lanes, you may need to have more than one person in the car, for
example, or the car may need to use environmentally-friendly fuel.
Bluetooth
Tip: To access settings and the status of your services quickly, select the menu bar at the top of
the main menu. In portrait mode, you can also tap the icons down the right-hand side.
Select Settings in the Main Menu, then select Bluetooth.
Use this setting to do the following:
Add Phone - Connect your smartphone to your TomTom Rider so you can make and receive
calls, receive SMS messages, and talk to a personal assistant.
Add Headset - Connect a headset so that you can hear voice instructions. To hear phone calls as
well, your headset needs to be multi-channel, i.e. able to support two connections, and you
need to connect your phone to your headset.
Switch messages off permanently
This method switches messages off permanently until you switch them on again using Settings.
1. Select the Main Menu button to open the Main Menu.
