Planning a route in advance
You can also use your TomTom to plan trips in advance by selecting both your
starting point and your destination. You could, for example, do the following:
• Find out how long a trip is going to take before you start.
• Check the route of a trip you are planning.
• Check a route for someone who is coming to visit you so you can explain
the route to them.
To plan a route in advance, follow these steps:
1. Tap the screen to bring up the main menu.
2. Tap the arrow button to move to the next menu screen and tap

3. Select the starting point for your trip in the same way that you would select
