Planning a route using step by step search

Using destination prediction

What is destination prediction?

Your TomTom GO can learn your daily driving habits to saved favourite Places and it can also

suggest destinations when you start the device from sleep mode, for example, when driving to Work

in the morning.

Getting ready for destination prediction

Before you get your first suggested destination, your device needs some time to learn about your

habits. The more regularly you drive with your TomTom GO, the faster you will get suggestions and

the more accurate the suggested destinations will be.

To receive predicted destinations, you need to do the following:



Destination prediction is switched ON by default but if it has been switched off, go to Settings >

System > Your information and privacy, switch on Keep journey history on this device for

optional features.



Make sure no route is planned.



Do some driving for a few days, planning routes to your favourite My Places destinations.
