Planning a route Planning a route Important: In the interest of safety and to reduce distractions while you are driving, you should always plan a route before you start driving. Important: If you are using a TomTom camper and caravan product, before planning a route you should set up your device for your vehicle. To plan a route on your TomTom device, do the following: 1. Tap the screen to open the Main Menu. 2. Tap Navigate to or Drive to. 3. Tap Address.
5. Enter the street name. Streets with similar names are shown in the list while you type. When the correct street name appears in the list, tap the name to select the destination. 6. Enter the house number, then tap Done. 7. The location is shown on the map. Tap Select to continue or tap Back to enter another address. Important: If you are planning a caravan or camper route and no specific route can be found, you are asked if you want to use a car route instead.
8. When the new route is shown, tap Done. For more information about the route, tap Details. To change your route, for example, to travel via a particular location or to select a new destination, tap Change route. Your device starts to guide you to your destination, using spoken instructions and on-screen directions. Route summary The route summary shows an overview of your route, the remaining distance to your destination and the remaining estimated journey time.
Your TomTom device helps you reach your destination as quickly as possible by showing you a faster alternative route when one is available. To take the alternative route, tap the balloon at the top of the screen. If you don't want to follow the alternative route, keep driving to continue to receive instructions for your original route. Tip: The alternative route disappears when it is no longer faster than your original route or it is too late for you to choose it.
Note: You can only choose to be asked about the type of route when you select a car as your vehicle. The types of route you can choose from are as follows: Fastest route - the route which takes the least time. Eco route - the most fuel-efficient route for your journey. 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.

Danger Zones About danger zones Since 3rd January 2012, it has been illegal to receive warnings about the position of fixed or mobile speed cameras when you are driving in France. To be compliant with this change in French law, all types of speed camera locations are no longer reported but instead, areas of danger are indicated as zones. In France, TomTom terminated the Speed Cameras service and introduced a new service called TomTom Danger Zones.
